What do the attacks on Primeape 46 cost, and what do they hit for?
The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 1 Energy and returns 70 damage, which is 70 damage for every Energy card attached.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raging Punch | 1 Fighting | 1 | 70 | 70 | This Pokémon also does 20 damage to itself. |
Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.
One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Back to summaryIs Primeape 46 efficient for the Energy it asks for?
Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 70 damage attack that needs 1 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.
Each bar is what cards asking that much Energy typically print, divided by the Energy they ask for. The number beside the bar is that figure.
Cards whose cheapest attack costs 1 typically return 49.0 damage per Energy card. This card returns 70.
| Group | Share | Value |

| 1 Energy | 49.0 | 49 damage typical |

| Primeape 46 — this card | 70.0 | 70 damage for 1 Energy |
Further right is a costlier attack, further up is a harder-hitting one, so the cheap and heavy corner is top left. The size of a grey dot is how many cards sit at that Energy cost.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead
The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 70 is read as high or low rather than merely large.
What does being a Fighting card do for Primeape 46?
Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.

Read from the weakness printed on each group. The first row is this card; the rest are groups that most often print a Fighting weakness.
What being a Fighting card is worth
Groups that most often print a Fighting weakness: Colorless (2,173 cards), Lightning (1,520 cards) and Darkness (1,249 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Fighting cards are themselves most exposed to Psychic.
What knocks out Primeape 46 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Psychic attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 45 printed damage rather than 90.
50 damage becomes 100 against this card
Primeape 4690 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 857 cards in the archive that can remove Primeape 46 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 45. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Primeape as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Primeape 46 is one print of Primeape. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.
Every Primeape print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryWhat has to be in play before Primeape 46 can be?
Primeape evolves from Mankey, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.
Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.
Is this the strongest Primeape print, and can the older ones still be played?
25 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.
Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

8 of the 25 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Which generation of cards does Primeape 46 belong to?
The single letter printed beside the card number groups a card with everything issued under the same rules. Tournament formats are cut along those letters, so the size of a letter is the size of the pool a card sits in.

The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

Primeape 46 in depth — what these figures add up to
Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.
What it asks a deck for
- Its hardest attack, Raging Punch, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
- That works out at 70 damage for every Energy card attached.
- Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
- It cannot start the game in play — Mankey has to be on the field first.
Where its HP stands, cut four ways
What actually removes it
- A Psychic attack printed at 45 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 90 HP.
- 862 cards in the archive clear that bar.
- Going the other way, it removes 2,740 cards in one attack.
