#53 Primeape - Steam Siege (xy11)
Primeape is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It was first released in the XY series as part of the Steam Siege set on August 3, 2016. The card is illustrated by artist Masakazu Fukuda and carries a Rare rarity. Primeape has two attacks: Swagger, which costs one Colorless energy and deals 20 damage, and Spirited Throw, requiring two Fighting energies to deal 30+ damage. The Swagger attack includes a coin flip mechanic, discarding an Energy from the opponent’s Active Pokémon if heads. Spirited Throw’s damage bonus depends on the opponent’s Active Pokémon having more remaining HP than Primeape. The card’s flavor text highlights its relentless pursuit, describing it as fiercely determined to track targets relentlessly. Primeape’s weaknesses include a Psychic-type attack dealing double damage, making it vulnerable to such strategies.
