Mankey (Japanese: マンキー Mankey) is a Fighting-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Primeape starting at level 28.
Biology
Physiology
Mankey, though partly named after humans, bears almost no resemblance to them. Mankey has features similar to many primates including fur, a long flexible tail, and prehensile hands and feet ideal for gripping branches and other objects. Mankey has a nose similar to a pig.
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 preferred food appears to be Chestnuts, although Mankey usually lack the dexterity to peel them. They are also occasionally found with the Payapa Berry.
In the anime
Major Appearances
In Primeape Goes Bananas, a wild Mankey stole Ash's hat and then evolved into a Primeape. Ash captured it shortly afterward.
In A Tyrogue Full of Trouble, a Primeape was causing problems for a small town along with a Mankey and a Tyrogue. A Trainer named Kiyo was able to capture the Tyrogue, and the Mankey and Primeape joined up with him.
Minor Appearances
Mankey was one of the Yas Gym's Pokémon in Showdown at Dark City.
In the third Pokémon Movie, Spell of the Unown, a Trainer named Lisa used a Mankey to battle Ash.
It also had a minor appearance Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part One).

Trivia
Origin
Considering its pig-like nose, its vestigial tail, and overall personality, Mankey have much in common with baboons.
Name origin
Mankey's name may be a hybrid of the words man and monkey. It also comes from the word manky, which means inferior, dirty or worthless, which could be derogatory terms. Another theory is that Mankey's name is a combination of the words mad and monkey, due to this Pokémon's contrary and aggressive personality.
