Primeape 18/18 · Southern Islands

Primeape is Pokédex #057, generation 1 (Kanto). Primeape is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 60 HP. The card says it evolves from Mankey. In this catalog that name is Mankey (#056).

Primeape sits at 18/18 in Southern Islands, position 18 of 18. The card before it is 17 Vileplume. The set belongs to the Other series. It was released on July 31, 2001. The printed size is 18, and the checklist is the same length.

The attack Low Kick lists 20 damage. The cost is Fighting. Rampage is another attack lists 20+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting. Does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Primeape. Flip a coin. If tails, Primeape is now Confused (after doing damage). Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon only calms down when there are no other animals or people around—which means no one has ever seen it when it's not angry."

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 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Primeape 43/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. 23 other cards of Primeape list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Southern Islands set binder is where a full Southern Islands 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.
