Primeape is a Fighting-type Pokémon and the evolved state of the Pig Monkey Pokémon Mankey.
Pokédex Data[]
Primeape looks largely similar to Mankey, but can be told apart by its larger size, its lack of a monkey-like tail and the metal shackles on its wrists and ankles. It also has a perpetual stress mark above its left eye, an indicator of its hair-trigger temper.
Primeapes can be driven to anger over the tiniest of happen-stances and will violently vent their rage on anyone in sight. If disturbed, a Primeape will relentlessly pursue the offender, never stopping until the quarry has been caught and beaten into submission.
Abilities[]
- Rage - Primeape becomes stronger the angrier it gets. Each time it is attacked, it will follow up with an even stronger blow.
- Swagger - A taunt that infuriates and confuses the opponent.
- Thrash - Primeape goes berserk and will unleash its full strength in a series of powerful blows. It will not stop attacking until it has worn itself out.
- Close Combat - Primeape gets in close to its opponent and focuses solely on attacking rather than defence, delivering devastating blows.
