Primeape is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Primeape (#057), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Mankey. In this catalog that name is Mankey (#056).

Flip a coin until you get tails. This attack does 50 damage times the number of heads to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "If approached while asleep, it may awaken and angrily give chase in a groggy state of semi-sleep."

I keep a set binder for HS—Unleashed, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the HS—Unleashed set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Primeape can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
