Primeape (Japanese: オコリザル Okorizaru) is a Fighting-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Mankey starting at level 28.

Biology

Physiology

Primeape has a round body covered in whitish, messy fur. Primeape's ears are triangular with pink insides, its arms and legs are colored brown and the tail it had as a Mankey has disappeared, despite its body style saying that it still retains it. Primeape has metal shackles on its wrists and ankles; this is probably indicative of a method of training with weights. The forepaws seem to resemble boxing gloves, alluding to its nature as a Fighting-type Pokémon. Primeape has a stress mark on the left side of its forehead.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Primeape's abilities are similar to those of its pre-evolution, Mankey, only stronger. When Primeape becomes furious, its blood circulation is boosted. In turn, Primeape's muscles are made even stronger. However, it also becomes much less intelligent at the same time. Since Primeape is a fully evolved Pokémon, it is capable of using Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.

Behavior

Primeape are easily angered. Even the slightest glance of eye contact will make it furious. If approached while asleep, it may awaken and angrily give chase in a groggy state of semi-sleep. A Primeape will chase anyone that makes it upset and won't give up until it catches its quarry.

Habitat

Primeape can be found in vibrant forests or in mountains. Kanto is the best place to find them, although they can be found in Sinnoh as well.

In the manga

Primeape in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

A Primeape is first seen as a wild Pokémon that Saur defeated, becoming an Ivysaur afterwards. This catches the attention of the looming con artist, Green, starting a long-winded chain of events that led to Red first losing his money to her charm, and then his Badges.

In The Primeape Directive, a herd of Mankey, led by a frustrated Primeape, attacked Yellow and her temporary master, Blue, whose Porygon defeated it. Yellow then empathies the poor Pokémon and has it leave peacefully to the wild.

Much later, Chuck, Blue's own master, owns a Primeape, seen in Volume 10 working out with him and his Poliwrath. Together with Poliwrath, it used DynamicPunch to reveal Suicune's presence in the ocean off the Cianwood coast, but the Gym Leader was defeated in the end, even after being joined by a friend.

In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga

Blaine sent out Primeape during the battle portion of the Pokémon Quiz Battle.

Isamu Akai caught a Primeape prior to PM042 and another one off-screen in PM054.

Chuck's only known Pokémon is a Primeape. It battles with one of Isamu's Pokémon in PM096.

Trivia

• It is capable of learning Iron Tail despite not having a visible tail. This may likely be due to the fact that its pre-evolution has one. Also, Primeape itself in PokéPark, who teaches the player Iron Tail, says that he does not have a tail.
• In Pokémon Platinum, Primeape is one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. Meowth, Oddish, Hitmonlee, Ninetales, Muk, and Registeel are the others.

Origin

Considering its pig-like nose, its coloring, and tendency to fly into a rage if eye contact is made, Primeape has much in common with baboons.

Name origin

Primeape may be a combination of prime and ape, as well as being a pun on primate.

Okorizaru can be taken to mean 怒り猿 (angry monkey). Alternatively, it could be a combination of 怒って okotte (angry), 怒り ikari (anger), and 猿 saru (monkey).
