| HP | 60 | 70 | 90 | 100 | 120 | 25 |
| Biggest attack | 20 | 40 | 50 | 70 | 150 | 24 |
Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 25 Primeape cards that carry one. The typical card is 90 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 70 and 100 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 50.0% of the highest | 60 HP |
| Lower quarter | 58.3% of the highest | 70 HP |

| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 120 HP |
The largest printed damage number on each of the 24 Primeape cards that print one. The typical card hits for 50. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 40 and 70. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.

| Cards with a special rule | 0 | 0.0% |
Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 25 Primeape cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 32.0% | 8 cards |
| Legal in Expanded today | 56.0% | 14 cards |

Back to summaryThe cheapest Primeape Pokémon cards you can buy
Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.
These six together cost $1.22, against $72.72 for the single dearest Primeape card. The two ends of the same group sit 455× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Primeape".
How Primeape compares with the other Pokémon
"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Primeape is number 165 of 206 Pokémon, on Legendary Collection #59 at $72.72. By card count it is number 180, and by the price of an ordinary card number 172 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
These are the Pokémon that sit next to Primeape on that ladder.
How do Primeape Pokémon cards evolve?
- The printed stage climbs Basic → Stage 1 along this line.
- Typical HP rises from 50 on Mankey cards to 90 on Primeape cards, 1.8× as high.
- Primeape cards are not played from the hand: they go on top of a Mankey card that is already on the table.
- 24 of the 25 Primeape cards on file print Evolves from Mankey.
Every one of the 25 Primeape cards that prints a stage prints Stage 1, so there is nothing to split inside the group. The tracks count the 206 Pokémon on file instead, and the highlighted one is the row Primeape sits in.
Primeape is one of 59 Pokémon whose cards are typically Stage 1. Basic cards are played straight from the hand; the later stages have to evolve from the card before them.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 56.8% | 117 Pokémon |
| Stage 1 | 28.6% | 59 Pokémon |
| Stage 2 | 14.6% | 30 Pokémon |
