Provenance

Where it came from

Mankey was released in 2008 as part of the Great Encounters expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to bridge the gap between the Diamond and Pearl generation, featuring a mix of new Sinnoh-region Pokémon and classic favorites from the Kanto region. The card depicts the pig monkey Pokémon in a dynamic, aggressive pose consistent with its established lore as a volatile and easily angered creature.

The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Midori Harada, a prolific artist in the Pokémon TCG community known for her vibrant, clean aesthetic. Her approach for this common card focuses on emphasizing the Mankey's signature temperament through sharp line work and a simple, focused composition. As a common card, it was produced in large quantities to serve as a foundational piece for players building fighting-type decks during the mid-2000s competitive cycle.
