In Primeape Goes Bananas, Ash learned that Gary had already caught 30 Pokémon, he aspired to catch more for himself. Presently afterward on Route 7, a friendly wild Mankey ate some of Brock's food. Ash took this opportunity to try to take hold of the Pokémon, but the Poké Ball failed, instead catching a rice ball. Mankey was angered and chased the grouping, vanquish up Ash, and stole his hat. Mankey gleefully teased Ash every bit the young Trainer fumed over having his dearest cap stolen. Squad Rocket decided this was the perfect opportunity to plot how to capture Pikachu, with Mankey budgeted the trio out of curiosity. James kicked information technology out of sight and this angered the Mankey and then much that information technology evolved into Primeape. It proceeded to punch Jessie in the face, sending her face-first into a rock, then viciously attacked the other Squad Rocket members. Afterwards it beat out up Brock, chased Ash and Misty downwardly Route 7 and followed Ash into ane of Team Rocket's pitfalls, Ash made several attempts to catch the rampaging Primeape, and eventually, his Charmander was finally able to defeat it. Ash caught it and unleashed it upon Squad Rocket, where it brutalized them and sent them diggings off into a nest full of wild Primeape.

Ash considered using Primeape in his match against Erika in Pokémon Scent-Sation!. Notwithstanding, after thinking dorsum to Primeape's explosive assailment, he decided not to, as its brutality would near likely have cost him the match.

Personality and characteristics

Despite its few appearances, Primeape was naturally very mischievous, simply it also showed itself to be especially irritable. Primeape's short fuse made information technology prone to explosive outrages and merciless violence. Nevertheless, Ash saw through this flaw and went on to catch Primeape in the hopes of using its ample energy for battles. Primeape'south potential shone through during the P1 Grand Prix event in The Punchy Pokémon, where its able-bodied prowess and sheer ability was able to be utilized. Underneath the explosively violent personality, it had a softer side, which allowed it to bail with Ash.
