      Recommended moves

      PvE is no monkey business, unless the Pokémon in question has good stats to boast 🐒. Unfortunately, Mankey is plain bad in terms of stats 👎.

      ⚔️ Raids - Nope. Just no 🙈.

      🛡️ Gyms - 82 DEF. Enough said, lol 😅.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup - The formidable combo of Karate Chop and Cross Chop makes Mankey a super spammy attacker that is more or less guaranteed to burn a shield or two 🔰. But the perks of Mankey in the Little Cup end here, as its poor DEF stat catches up and adversely affects its viability in the long run 📉.

      🔵 Great League - Mankey is not meant for the Great League.
