Annihilape Arrives In The Pokémon TCG With An Ex Box

Annihilape, a new evolution added to the Mankey & Primeape line, will arrive this summer in the Pokémon TCG with an ex Box.


An Annihilape ex Box is coming to the Pokémon TCG. Releasing shortly after Scarlet & Violet – Paldea Evolved, this product will likely feature the card that we expected to see in that set as an SV Black Star Promo. Annihilape is the new evolution in the Mankey and Primeape line that gives Primeape an evolved form more than 25 years in the making. This box will also include a jumbo version of Annihilape ex, a holographic card featuring an as-of-yet unannounced Pokémon, and four booster packs. It will retail for $19.99.
