Flavor Text

: It lives in treetop colonies. If one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason.

: It’s unsafe to approach if it gets violently enraged for no reason and can’t distinguish friends from foes.
: It lives in treetop colonies. If one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason.
: When Mankey starts shaking and its nasal breathing turns rough, it’s a sure sign that it is becoming angry. However, because it goes into a towering rage almost instantly, it is impossible for anyone to flee its wrath.

: It can spontaneously become enraged. Everyone near it clears out as it rampages, and the resulting loneliness makes it angrier still.
: Its raging tires it out and causes it to fall asleep, but the anger resonating in its dreams causes it to wake up—which infuriates it all over again.
: The smallest of things could cause it to lose its temper. Because it doesn’t hold in its stress, this Pokémon can live a long time.
: If one gets angry, all the others around it will get angry, so silence is a rare visitor in a troop of Mankey.
