Primeape (Japanese: オコリザル Okorizaru) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Mankey starting at level 28.

Biology

Primeape eating bananas

Primeape is a bipedal Pokémon with a round body covered in whitish, shaggy fur. It usually has a throbbing vein on the left side of its forehead, and it has triangular ears with pink insides and a pink, snout-like nose. Its arms and legs are brown and have metal shackles on the wrists and ankles. This is probably indicative of a method of training with weights. The hands have no visible fingers, instead resembling mittens or boxing gloves, and the feet have two toes.

Primeape is easily angered; even the slightest glance of eye contact will make it furious. When Primeape is furious, its blood circulation is boosted. This makes its muscles stronger, but at the cost of some of its intelligence. It will chase anyone who upsets it and will not stop until it has caught its quarry. Even if it is awoken from sleep, it will groggily chase whatever woke it. Primeape can be found in vibrant forests or on mountains. It has shown some fondness for bananas.

Trivia

Origin

Considering its pig-like nose, coloration, and tendency to fly into a rage if eye contact is made, Primeape has much in common with baboons.

Name origin

Primeape may be a combination of prime and ape, as well as being a pun on primate.

Okorizaru can be taken to be 怒り猿 (angry monkey).
