'''Ash's Primeape''' (Japanese: '''サトシのオコリザル''' ''Satoshi's Okorizaru'') was the ninth overall {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} obtained in the [[Kanto]] [[region]].


Ash caught Primeape on [[Route 7]] in the episode ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''. On the road to [[Celadon City]], Ash learned that [[Gary]] had already captured 30 Pokémon. Upon hearing this, Ash aspired to capture more for himself.

====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Ash learned that {{Gary}} had already caught 30 Pokémon, and he aspired to catch more for himself. Soon afterward on {{rt|7|Kanto}}, a friendly {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Mankey}} ate some of {{an|Brock}}'s [[rice ball|food]]. Ash took this opportunity to catch the Pokémon, but the {{i|Poké Ball}} failed, instead catching a rice ball. Mankey was angered and chased the group, beat up Ash, and stole his {{AP|hat}}. Mankey gleefully teased Ash as the young Trainer fumed over having his beloved cap stolen. {{TRT}} decided this was the perfect opportunity to plot how to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}, with Mankey approaching the trio out of curiosity. [[James]] kicked it out of sight, and this angered the Mankey so much that it [[Evolution|evolved]] into Primeape. It proceeded to punch [[Jessie]] in the face, sending her face-first into a rock, then viciously attacked the other Team Rocket members. After it beat up Brock, chased Ash and {{an|Misty}} down Route 7, and followed Ash into one of Team Rocket's pitfalls, Ash made several attempts to catch the rampaging Primeape. Eventually, his {{AP|Charmander}} finally defeated it. Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} it and unleashed it upon Team Rocket, where it brutalized them and sent them blasting off into a nest full of wild Primeape.
[[File:Ash winning P1 Grand Prix.png|220px|left|thumb|Primeape and Ash after winning the P1 Grand Prix]]
Ash considered using Primeape in his match against [[Erika]] in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-Sation!]]''. However, after thinking back to Primeape's explosive aggression, he decided not to, as its brutality would likely cost him the match.


Soon afterwards, a friendly wild {{p|Mankey}} ate some of Brock's food. Ash took this opportunity to try to capture the little Pokémon, but the [[Poké Ball]] failed and Mankey was angered. It chased the group, beat up Ash, and stole Ash's lucky hat. Mankey gleefully teased Ash as the young trainer fumed about having his lucky cap stolen.
In ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'', after leaving Celadon City, Ash and {{ashfr}} met a man named {{OBP|Anthony|EP029}} who was training to win the [[P1 Grand Prix]], a tournament for {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. Anthony's daughter, {{OBP|Rebecca|EP029}}, wanted him to stop spending so much time away from home training. Brock and Ash volunteered to enter the tournament to discourage Anthony, with Ash entering Primeape. In the first match against a {{p|Machop}}, Ash saved Primeape from a nasty fall, which caused the usually vicious Pokémon to become closer to Ash. Primeape listened to Ash's instructions and eventually won the tournament. Anthony offered to train Primeape for Ash, promising to train it to become a P1 champion, so Ash left Primeape with Anthony. Primeape, unlike the other Pokémon that Ash has given to another Trainer for training, hasn't been seen since.


Team Rocket took this opportunity to try to capture [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], knocking Mankey aside.  The angry Pig Monkey evolved into Primeape, which viciously attacked the Team Rocket members.
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash reminisced about Primeape's battle with Charmander.


After several attempts to capture the berzerking Primeape, [[Ash's Charizard|Ash's Charmander]] was finally able to defeat it. Ash captured him in and unleashed him upon Team Rocket.
=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Ash and Primeape.png|thumb|220px|Primeape and Ash]]
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Primeape appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]].


Soon after that, in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' after leaving Celadon City, Ash and his friends met a man named Anthony who was training to win the [[P1 Grand Prix]], a tournament for {{t|Fighting}}-[[type]] Pokémon.  Anthony's daughter, Rebecca wanted him to stop spending so much time away from home training.  Brock and Ash volunteered to enter the tournament to discourage Anthony.  Ash entered Primeape into the P1 Grand Prix.
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Primeape appeared in a fantasy while Ash reminisced about the Pokémon he'd caught on his journey.


In the first match, Ash saved Primeape from a nasty fall, which caused the usually angry Pokémon to become closer to Ash.
====Personality and characteristics====
Despite its few appearances, Primeape was naturally mischievous, but it also showed itself to be particularly irritable. Primeape's short fuse made it prone to explosive outrages and merciless violence. However, {{Ash}} saw through this flaw and went on to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Primeape in the hopes of using its ample energy for {{pkmn|battle}}s. Primeape's potential shone through during the [[P1 Grand Prix]] event in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'', where its athletic prowess and sheer power was able to be utilized. Underneath the explosively violent personality, it had a softer side, which allowed it to bond with Ash.


Ash eventually won the tournament.  Anthony asked for Primeape, and so Ash gave it to him.

Primeape was only around for a couple of episodes, but it had a lot of personality.  It was very mischievous, and would often fly into uncontrollable tantrums if it didn't get what it wanted. This notably caused Ash to audibly reconsider using Primeape in a gym battle against [[Erika]].

In Primeape Goes Bananas, Ash learned that Gary had already caught 30 Pokémon, and he aspired to catch more for himself. Soon afterward on Route 7, a friendly wild Mankey ate some of Brock's food. Ash took this opportunity to catch the Pokémon, but the Poké Ball failed, instead catching a rice ball. Mankey was angered and chased the group, beat up Ash, and stole his hat. Mankey gleefully teased Ash as the young Trainer fumed over having his beloved cap stolen. Team Rocket decided this was the perfect opportunity to plot how to capture Pikachu, with Mankey approaching the trio out of curiosity. James kicked it out of sight, and this angered the Mankey so much that it evolved into Primeape. It proceeded to punch Jessie in the face, sending her face-first into a rock, then viciously attacked the other Team Rocket members. After it beat up Brock, chased Ash and Misty down Route 7, and followed Ash into one of Team Rocket's pitfalls, Ash made several attempts to catch the rampaging Primeape. Eventually, his Charmander finally defeated it. Ash caught it and unleashed it upon Team Rocket, where it brutalized them and sent them blasting off into a nest full of wild Primeape.

Anthony's daughter, Rebecca, wanted him to stop spending so much time away from home training. Brock and Ash volunteered to enter the tournament to discourage Anthony, with Ash entering Primeape. In the first match against a Machop, Ash saved Primeape from a nasty fall, which caused the usually vicious Pokémon to become closer to Ash. Primeape listened to Ash's instructions and eventually won the tournament. Anthony offered to train Primeape for Ash, promising to train it to become a P1 champion, so Ash left Primeape with Anthony. Primeape, unlike the other Pokémon that Ash has given to another Trainer for training, hasn't been seen since.
