Peek is listed as Pokémon Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at one of the following: the top card of either player's deck, a random card from your opponent's hand, or one of either player's Prizes. This power can't be used if Mankey is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Scratch lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Weakness is Psychic ×2. The flavor text reads "Extremely quick to anger. It could be docile one moment, then thrashing away the next."

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