Read more ↓Primeape is a Fighting-type Pokémon, known for its aggressive and perpetually enraged demeanor. It evolves from Mankey starting at level 28. Introduced in Generation I, Primeape is often depicted as a short-tempered and volatile creature, capable of sustained fury once provoked. Its Pokédex entries consistently highlight its uncontrollable rage, noting that it can become so angry it forgets why it started fighting in the first place, sometimes even collapsing from exhaustion. Primeape's natural habitat typically includes mountainous regions and forests, where it lives in groups, often engaging in fierce territorial disputes. Its diet is primarily herbivorous, consisting of fruits and berries, though its aggressive nature extends to its foraging habits, often scaring off other Pokémon from food sources. In the anime, Primeape is famously owned by Ash Ketchum for a brief period, showcasing its fighting prowess before being left for training. Its evolution, Mankey, is equally known for its temper, but Primeape takes this characteristic to an extreme, making it a formidable opponent in battles. Its distinct appearance, with its spiky fur and perpetually scowling face, further emphasizes its combative nature, cementing its place as an iconic, albeit short-fused, Pokémon from the Kanto region.
