Mankey (Japanese: マンキー Mankey) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Primeape starting at level 28.

Biology

Mankey eating bananas

Mankey is a simian Pokémon, similar to a New World monkey. It is a bipedal and has a round body covered in whitish, shaggy fur. Its nose is similar to a pig's snout, and it has narrow, red eyes and triangular ears with brown insides. Mankey's three-fingered hands, two-toed feet, and the tip of its curved, prehensile tail are brown. Along with Stufful, it is the smallest Fighting-type.

Mankey specializes in physical fighting and is very aggressive and short-tempered. When angry, Mankey begins shaking and its breathing turns rough. Its rage peaks quickly, preventing its victim from being able to flee. It will rampage until it falls asleep, but its anger remains in its dreams. This causes it to wake up and become furious all over again. However, this constant release of stress grants it a long life. Mankey can be found in the mountains, where it lives in treetop colonies. If one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason. If it loses sight of its colony or if it is left alone to rage, its loneliness causes it to become infuriated.

According to the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team games, Mankey's preferred food is chestnuts. However, Mankey usually lacks the dexterity to peel them. It becomes agitated and rage after attempting to peel a chestnut's spiky shell. Additionally, it also appears to be fond of bananas in the anime.

Trivia

• Mankey may be considered a counterpart of Meowth. Both of them are Generation I Pokémon who evolve into their evolved forms at or above level 28. Mankey is exclusive to Pokémon Red, Gold, and HeartGold; while Meowth is exclusive to Blue, Silver, and SoulSilver. Also, in Black 2 and White 2, Yancy will trade the player a Mankey if the player is male, and Curtis will trade Mankey if the player is female. Additionally, both seem to have a similar color scheme.
• According to Pokémon Sun and Moon, Mankey was designed by Shigeki Morimoto.

Origin

Considering its pig-like nose, long tail, habitat, and overall personality, Mankey has much in common with baboons.

Name origin

Mankey may be a combination of mad or man and monkey. It could also be a pun on cranky, referring to Mankey's irritable personality.
