Read more ↓Mankey, the Pig Monkey Pokémon, is a feisty Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is known for its short temper and quick-to-anger disposition, often escalating from calm to furious in a matter of seconds. These primates typically reside in forests and mountainous regions, living in small troops. Their diet consists primarily of berries and nuts, though they are opportunistic and will forage for other food sources. Mankey evolves into Primeape starting at level 28. In the Pokémon games, Mankey is a common early-game encounter, particularly in the Kanto region, providing trainers with a solid Fighting-type option. Its aggressive nature is a recurring theme in the anime, often depicted as a nuisance or a challenging opponent for Ash and his friends. Culturally, Mankey embodies the concept of uncontrolled rage and the power that can come from it, making it a memorable and distinct Pokémon in the original 151. Its simple yet effective design contributes to its enduring appeal and recognition among fans.
