Primeape · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Primeape card
Numbered 108 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Primeape is a Common, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 90 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.

Primeape carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Some researchers theorize that Primeape remains angry even when inside a Poké Ball."
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 a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure 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 is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
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.
