What it does
If Primeape has any damage counters on it, Primeape's attacks do 40 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).
Primeape is now Confused. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't attack during your opponent's next turn.
It grows angry if you see its eyes and gets angrier if you run. If you beat it, it gets even madder.

Where it came from
The Primeape card from the Great Encounters set was released in 2008 as part of the Diamond & Pearl series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This expansion was designed to bridge the gap between the established mechanics of the series and the new capabilities introduced in the fourth generation of video games, focusing on the Sinnoh region's roster of creatures.
The artwork for this specific card features a dynamic, aggressive illustration characteristic of the Great Encounters set's aesthetic, which emphasized bold lines and dramatic poses to highlight the fighting type's confrontational nature. As a rare card within the 106-card set, it was intended to serve as a mid-tier strategic option for players, reflecting Primeape's long-standing reputation as a volatile and powerful combatant in competitive play.
