Primeape 43/64 · Jungle

Primeape is Pokédex #057, generation 1 (Kanto). Primeape is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 45. The card says it evolves from Mankey. In this catalog that name is Mankey (#056).

Primeape sits at 43/64 in Jungle, position 43 of 64. Before it is 42 Persian, and after it is 44 Rapidash. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on June 16, 1999. The printed size is 64, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Fury Swipes lists 20× damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. Tantrum is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Flip a coin. If tails, Primeape is now Confused (after doing damage). Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Always furious and tenacious to boot. It will not abandon chasing its quarry until its quarry is caught."

Primeape (#057) has 24 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dark Primeape 43/82 in Team Rocket (2000). That card is named Dark Primeape, while this one is Primeape. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Primeape list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Jungle set binder is where a full Jungle set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Primeape can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
