Mankey (Pokmon) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokmon encyclopedia
Mankey (Japanese: マンキー Mankey) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Primeape starting at level 28, which evolves into Annihilape when leveled up after using Rage Fist 20 times.
Biology
Mankey eating bananasMankey is a small, simian Pokémon, similar to a New World monkey. It is 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.
Mankey specializes in physical fighting and is very aggressive and short-tempered. When angry, it 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. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, it is rare to find a Mankey sleeping without an angry look on its face.[1]

Trivia
- Mankey may be considered a counterpart of Meowth. Both of them are Generation I Pokémon who evolve into their evolved forms at level 28. Mankey is exclusive to Pokémon Red, Gold, HeartGold, and Let's Go Pikachu!, while Meowth is exclusive to Blue, Silver, SoulSilver, and Let's Go Eevee!. Also, in Black 2 and White 2, Yancy will trade the player a Meowth if the player is male, and Curtis will trade Mankey if the player is female. Additionally, both seem to have a similar color scheme.
- At the Heahea City Game Freak office in Pokémon Sun and Moon, Shigeki Morimoto states that he designed Mankey according to his boss's instructions.
Origin
Mankey's categorization as the "Pig Monkey Pokémon" along with its pig-like nose, may be inspired by the Southern pig-tailed macaque. It also shares a similar color scheme and shaggy fur with this primate. Given its long tail, habitat, and overall personality, Mankey has much in common with baboons and snub-nosed monkeys.
Name origin
Mankey may be a combination of man and monkey. It may also involve mad and cranky.
