Mega Pokémon that boost Mankey
The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Mankey if they are Mega-evolved.
Mega Catch Bonus
While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy are granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
Is it worth evolving Mankey?
Yes, yes and yes. In short for PVP:
- You will want Annihilape for Great League.
- You will probably want Annihilape for Ultra League.
- You will definitely want Annihilape if you play in Master League.
