Primeape

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Primeape is a bipedal, simian Pokémon with a round body covered in whitish, shaggy fur. There is usually a throbbing vein on the left side of its forehead, and it has triangular ears with pink insides, narrow eyes with tiny pupils, and a pink, snout-like nose. Its arms and legs are brown and have metal shackles on the wrists and ankles. This is probably indicative of a method of training with weights. The hands have no visible fingers, instead resembling mittens or boxing gloves, and the feet have two toes.
===Behavior===
Primeape is easily angered; even the slightest glance of eye contact will make it furious. When Primeape is furious, its blood circulation is boosted. This makes its muscles stronger, but at the cost of some of its intelligence. However, it has sturdy vessels in its brain that help keep it healthy. It will chase anyone who upsets it and will not stop until it has caught its quarry. Even if it is awoken from sleep, it will groggily chase whatever woke it.
===Habitat===
They can be found in forests or mountains in Kanto and Sinnoh.
===Diet===
Primeape like to eat bananas and other fruits.
===Natural abilities===
Primeape are easier to anger than its pre-evolved form. When it attacks, it uses strong punches and kicks.
==Evolution==
Primeape is the evolved form of Mankey as of level 28. 
In Generation IX, it evolves into Annihilape after using Rage Fist 20 times and leveling up afterwards.

==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.

* 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.
*Despite being tailless, the Pokédex says that its body style has a tail.
===Origin===
Due to its aggressive nature and pig-like nose, Primeape is likely based on a baboon. Primeape may also be a play on the term "go ape", which means to show great anger or excitement.
===Etymology===
Primeape may come from prime, ape, and primate.
Primeape's Japanese name, Okorizaru, literally means "angry ape".
