Primeape · Scarlet & Violet 151, what to know.
About the Primeape card
Numbered 57 of 207 in Scarlet & Violet 151, released in September 2023, Primeape is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 120 HP.
It evolves from Mankey, so Primeape is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Mina Nakai.
Primeape carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It becomes wildly furious if it even senses someone looking at it. It chases anyone that meets its glare."
About Primeape in the Pokémon world
The fully evolved Mankey. Larger, more violent. Jungle Rare Primeape has thin standalone demand.
What is Primeape worth?
Primeape is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Primeape before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Primeape grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Primeape
Raw copies of Primeape are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Primeape is the practical move.
