#52 Mankey - Steam Siege (xy11)
Mankey is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 60 HP, introduced in the XY series as part of the Steam Siege set released in 2016. Its artist is Hitoshi Ariga, and its flavor text describes it as a creature that lives in treetop colonies, prone to causing chaos when enraged. The card features two attacks: Focus Energy, which costs one Colorless energy and boosts the Flop attack’s base damage to 50 during the next turn, and Flop, a straightforward attack that costs one Fighting energy and deals 10 damage. Mankey has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card requires one Colorless energy to retreat, and it is classified as a Common rarity. Its design emphasizes simplicity and direct combat mechanics, aligning with its role in the game’s competitive and casual play formats. The card’s artwork and text reflect its aggressive nature and the dynamics of its Pokémon species.
