Appearances

Anime

In the anime, Ash encountered a Mankey that he attempted to capture. It then stole his hat and evolved into a Primeape, but Ash managed to capture him. Later he entered the Primeape in a tournament for Fighting Pokémon so as to beat a man with a Hitmonchan and convince him to pay more attention to his family. His Primeape managed to win and Ash left it with the man to train it. Though at first Primeape seemed very aggressive towards Ash, he seemed to become very attached to his trainer, even having tears in his eyes when Ash decided to leave him to be trained.

• Anthony's Primeape
• Butch's Primeape
• Hisashi's Primeape

Trivia

Similar to Alakazam, Primeape loses its tail upon evolving. It however retains its ability to learn Iron Tail.

Origins

Primeape is based on a pig and a monkey. It may also be based on baboons due to its pig-like nose and vicious temper.

Etymology

Primeape is probably named after "Prime" and "Ape", and a play on the word "Primate".
