It will not abandon chasing its quarry until it is caught. It stops being angry only when nobody else is around. To view this moment is very difficult. If approached while asleep, it may awaken, and angrily give chase in a groggy state of semi-sleep. It becomes wildly furious if it even senses someone looking at it. It chases anyone that meets its glare. It will beat up anyone who makes it mad, even if it has to chase them until the end of the world. 65 105 60 95 60 385 65 105 60 95 60 70 455

Primeape's ears are triangular with pink insides, and its arms, and legs are colored brown. 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'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. 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 it quarry. Primeape can be found in vibrant forests or in mountains. They seem to have an affinity with the Payapa Berry, since they are sometimes found with it. 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. Primeape's name may be a combination of "prime", and "ape." It is also likely that its name is a play on the word primate.
