Trivia

• Mankey is the third canonical Pokémon in the Tandor Pokédex (fourth if you include Gyarados separately from Magikarp, and fifth including Mega Gyarados). However, it has a new stage of evolution in Pokémon Uranium.

Design Origin

Considering its pig-like nose, long tail, and overall personality, Mankey has much in common with baboons.

Name Origin

Mankey may be a combination of the words man and monkey. It is also a possible pun on manky, which means inferior, dirty or worthless. Alternatively, it may be a combination of the words mad and monkey, due to Mankey's contrary and aggressive personality.
