Biology

Physiology

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Mankey specialize in physical fighting, but they can sometimes know elemental attacks (though they don't usually excel at them).

Behavior

Mankey are very aggressive and short-tempered. Anyone that gets on its bad side (which is too easy to do), will receive a severe thrashing.

Habitat

Mankey can be found in vibrant forests, in mountains, or in valleys with rivers running through them.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

The prefered food appears to be Chestnuts, although Mankey usually lack the dexterity to peel them.

In the anime

A wild Mankey steals Ash's hat and then evolves into a Primeape. Ash catches it.

Mankey is one of the Yas Gym's Pokémon in Showdown at Dark City.

In the 3rd Pokémon Movie, Spell of the Unown, a trainer named Lisa owns one.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Yellow

An agile Pokémon that lives in trees. It angers easily and will not hesitate to attack anything.

Pokémon Gold

It is extremely ill-tempered. Groups of them will attack any handy target for no reason.

Pokémon Silver

It's unsafe to approach if it gets violently enraged for no reason and can't distinguish friends from foes.

Pokémon Crystal

It lives in groups in the treetops. If it loses sight of its group, it becomes infuriated by its loneliness.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

When Mankey starts shaking and its nasal breathing turns rough, it's a sure sign that it is becoming angry. However, because it goes into a towering rage almost instantly, it is impossible for anyone to flee its wrath.

Pokémon Emerald

When it starts shaking and its nasal breathing turns rough, it's a sure sign of anger. However, since this happens instantly, there is no time to flee.

Pokémon FireRed

Light and agile on its feet, and ferocious in temperament. When angered, it flies into an uncontrollable frenzy.
