Primeape 043/084 – Pitch Black ME05 – Base Uncommon – Near Mint
Pokémon – Primeape – Pitch Black ME05 – 043/084 – Base Uncommon – Near Mint is a Fighting‑type non‑foil base card from the 2026 Mega Evolution Era Pitch Black expansion. Primeape’s enraged stance, neon‑charged motion lines and corrupted‑energy shading fit perfectly into the ME05 aesthetic even without foil treatment. Base cards from Pitch Black retain the same dramatic art direction as their reverse‑foil counterparts, making Primeape a key binder piece for collectors completing full ME05 base sets. Its crisp outlines, intense color saturation and sharp print clarity make it one of the strongest‑looking Fighting‑type uncommons in the entire expansion.
The Mega Evolution Era’s neon‑lit shading and corrupted‑energy undertones translate smoothly into base cards, and Primeape is a standout example. The aggressive palette contrasts sharply with the glowing accents, giving the card a sense of motion, fury and raw physical force. Many collectors pair Primeape with Mankey, Marshadow, Lokix and other corrupted‑energy Pokémon to build unified Fighting‑type binder themes. Its clean edges and consistent print quality make it a reliable binder‑grade choice for long‑term ME05 completion.
