Collector Insights

Primeape is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It possesses the Anger Point ability, which boosts its attacks by 40 damage if it has any damage counters, making it more threatening against the Active Pokémon. The card’s attack, Whump, costs Fighting and two Colorless energy, dealing 50 damage while inducing the Confused status on the defending Pokémon and introducing a coin flip mechanic that may restrict its next turn. Primeape’s design reflects its aggressive nature, as hinted by its flavor text describing escalating anger when confronted. It was released in the Great Encounters set from the Diamond & Pearl series in February 2008. The card’s artwork is attributed to Kagemaru Himeno, and it holds a Rare rarity rating. Its primary weakness is to Psychic-type attacks, which deal an additional 20 damage.

It grows angry if you see its eyes and gets angrier if you run. If you beat it, it gets even madder.
