Mankey Japanese Pokemon Cards Guide: The Master Ball Print (SV2a 056)

Mankey Japanese Pokemon Cards Guide: The Master Ball Print (SV2a 056)

Japanese Mankey Pokemon cards (マンキー) are printed in a long run of sets, and the print we offer as a PSA 10 is number 056/165 from Enhanced Expansion Pack “Pokemon Card 151” (SV2a), listed as the Master Ball Mirror version.

This guide sets out what the official Japanese card database prints for that card — illustrator, HP, attack text and set — then the other Mankey prints the database lists, how to read the card, and where to buy.

Key Takeaways

Our Mankey listing is the SV2a 056/165 Master Ball Mirror print, offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥15,600 (~$101) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. The official database credits the illustration to Mina Nakai and shows a Basic Fighting Pokemon with 60 HP; the Master Ball pattern comes from our listing name, not from the database.

Mankey Prints We’ve Verified: At a Glance

The official database files these cards under the name マンキー. The table shows the listed print first, then a selection of other Mankey prints as the database gives them (set code, number, illustrator).

Number Set code Rarity (database icon) Illustrator
056/165 SV2a C Mina Nakai
040/081 M5 C Yuka Morii
045/098 SV10 C Ayako Ozaki
060/106 SV8 C Apios
038/071 SV2P C kurumitsu
049/078 SV1V C nagimiso
028/070 S5I C Ryuta Fuse
052/095 SM9 C Akira Komayama
023/050 SM4A C Miki Tanaka

Every print in the table shows a Common icon in the database. The set codes follow the database’s own product codes; our Japanese Pokemon card sets in order guide places most of them in sequence.

The Print We List: Pokemon Card 151, 056/165

The database entry for SV2a 056/165 reads マンキー, a Basic Pokemon with 60 HP and Fighting type, illustrated by Mina Nakai. Its single attack is printed あばれる (rendering: “Rampage”) for a base 20 damage with a coin flip: on heads it does 20 more damage, on tails it also does 20 damage to Mankey itself.

Our listing identifies this copy as the Master Ball Mirror print. The database keeps one entry per card number and does not record foil pattern, so it confirms the number, rarity icon, illustrator and card text but does not itself confirm the Master Ball pattern — that attribute is the listing’s. The database data does not show a regulation mark for this card. The official regulation page lists H, I and J as the marks Standard allows.

Mankey the Pokemon: Type, Line and Number

The database gives Mankey as National No.056 with the category line ぶたざるポケモン. The evolution field on the listed card shows the line マンキー → オコリザル (Primeape) → コノヨザル (Annihilape), with a further entry for コノヨザルex. The listed card is a Basic; the database prints Fighting type on it and, for SV2a 056/165, HP 60.

The database text for the listed print shows one attack, the coin-flip attack above. If you are matching a copy in your own collection, the card name (マンキー), the number 056/165 and the set code SV2a are the three details to compare with the database entry.

Other Mankey Prints in the Database

The database lists many more Mankey cards. They include M5 040/081 (illustrated by Yuka Morii) and SV10 045/098 (illustrated by Ayako Ozaki); the M5 card list on our site covers that set. Earlier prints include SV8 060/106 by Apios, SV2P 038/071 by kurumitsu, and SV1V 049/078 by nagimiso.

The table also includes S5I 028/070 by Ryuta Fuse, SM9 052/095 by Akira Komayama and SM4A 023/050 by Miki Tanaka. Only the SV2a print is one we offer as a PSA 10; the others are listed here to help you identify a card you already hold.

How to Read a Japanese Mankey Card

Start with the number: 056/165 means card 56 in a set printed with 165 numbered cards, and the set code (SV2a) ties it to the product. The rarity as shown by the official database icon is Common for every Mankey print in the table; our rarities guide explains the lettered tiers. Then read the HP, the type, the attack text and the illustrator credit printed on the card. The how to read Japanese Pokemon cards guide walks through the full layout, and the condition guide covers what PSA 10 means for a card like this.

A Master Ball Mirror copy adds a holo pattern to the same card face. That pattern is a print variant named on the listing; when you compare a copy with the database entry, expect the text, number and artwork to match the standard card.

PSA 10 designates Gem Mint condition per PSA’s published grading standards; our PSA 10 meaning guide sets out the scale, and the grading guide compares the services. For a Common such as this one, the PSA 10 label describes the condition of the individual copy; it does not change what the database prints for the card.
