Primeape 72/181 · Team Up

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

Primeape sits at 72/181 in Team Up, position 72 of 198. Before it is 71 Mankey, and after it is 73 Hitmonlee. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on February 1, 2019. The printed size is 181. This checklist is longer, at 198 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Low Kick lists 30 damage. The cost is Fighting. Wreck is another attack lists 80+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. If there is any Stadium card in play, this attack does 80 more damage. Then, discard that Stadium card. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It will never forgive opponents who have angered it. Even after it has beaten them down until they can't move, it never ever forgives."

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 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Anesaki Dynamic illustrated this one. 15 other cards of Primeape list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Anesaki Dynamic. I count 134 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Up set binder is where a full Team Up 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.
