With every new generation of Pok\u00e9mon<\/em>, Game Freak comes up with new ways to take older species and spice them up with new forms, variants, or mechanics. And after more than 25 years, it was finally time for Mankey and Primeape to get a little love in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and Violet<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>
The mono Fighting-type line from Kanto have never been the most appealing team members, as their stats and movepools pale in comparison to many other Pok\u00e9mon from Gen I alone. This is no longer the case as Primeape can now evolve into a much more powerful Pok\u00e9mon\u2014appropriately named Annihilape. <\/p>
As a Fighting\/Ghost-type, it implied that Primeape\u2019s signature anger became so overwhelming that it either died or was forced to overcome its rage to reach new heights via some form of spiritual enlightenment. Now, Annihilape has gained power that is unfettered by the limits of its physical body and can use its rage to throw punches capable of shattering targets at their core. <\/p>
And you will need to help your Primeape master its raging fists if you want a chance to have Annihilape on your team. <\/p>
