Basics
Mankey is a Fighting-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 665 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 832 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 1,317 at level 50. It is weak to Flying/Psychic/Fairy attacks (1.6×). It resists Bug/Rock/Dark attacks. In raids, Scratch + Brick Break is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It evolves into Primeape with 50 Candy. As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 3 km you walk together.

When Mankey starts shaking and its nasal breathing turns rough, it's a sure sign that it is becoming angry. However, because it goes into a towering rage almost instantly, it is impossible for anyone to flee its wrath.

- How to read IVs and appraisalsIVs run from 0 to 15 for each of Attack, Defense and HP, and appraisal stars are set by the sum of the three (0–45).
- What to power up first (power-up priorities for beginners)Stardust is limited, so first power up strong counters you'll use for a long time across many raids.
- Choosing IVs for PvP (low Attack wins in Great and Ultra League)In leagues with a CP cap, the lower the Attack IV, the higher you can level up within the same CP, which makes Defense and HP bigger.
