Primeape was only around for a few of episodes, but it had a lot of personality. It was very mischievous, mercilessly vicious, extremely violent, almost always out of control, had a very short fuse and was prone to an explosive rage.

Despite this, it was given to Anthony for training after only five episodes and only appeared in the episode it was caught and the episode it was given to train with Anthony. But under the explosively violent personality, it had a softer side, which allowed it to bond with Ash.

History

As a wild Mankey

Original series

Ash caught Primeape on Route 7 in the episode Primeape Goes Bananas. On the road to Celadon City, Ash learned that Gary had already caught 30 Pokémon. Upon hearing this, Ash aspired to catch more for himself. Soon afterwards, a friendly wild Mankey ate some of Brock's food. Ash took this opportunity to try 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 about having his beloved cap stolen.Team Rocket took this opportunity to try to capture Pikachu. Mankey came up to Team Rocket, then James kicked it out of sight. The angry Pig Monkey evolved into Primeape, punched Jessie in the face sending her face-first into a rock, then viciously attacked the Team Rocket members as well as Jessie again. 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 berserking Primeape, and eventually, his Charmander was finally able to defeat 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.

It appeared in a flashback in Pokémon Scent-Sation! and was planned to be used against Erika. However Ash decided not to remembering how crazy it was.

Primeape's appearance in Spurt!

In 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 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. In the first match against a Machop, Ash saved Primeape from a nasty fall, which caused the usually angry Pokémon to become closer to Ash. Primeape eventually won the tournament. Anthony offered to train Primeape for Ash, with the promise of training 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 (although the narrator in the dub hinted at the end of the episode that it's possible that Primeape would return).
