Primeape now evolves into the Fighting/Ghost type – Annihilape. We already know that if you know this, you want one. So let’s get to it, but remember that this task isn’t very straightforward.

How to Evolve Primeape into Annihilape in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Here are the steps to Evolve Primeape to Annihilape:

  1. Firstly, get your Primeape up to level 35.
  2. Make it learn the Ghost-type move.
  3. Now, make your Primeape use Rage Fist in battles 20 times.
    Use Rage Fist 20 time to evolve Primeape into Annihilape in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
  4. When both are done, the next time you level up, your Primeape will evolve into Annihilape.
  5. You can use a Rare Candy to speed up the process.

We know it sounds rather simple. However, there are a few specifics and important conditions that you need to take care of. 

Firstly, you cannot go to heal in a pokemon center to heal in between battles. If you do so, your Rage Fist counter will reset to zero, and you’ll have to start over again.

So try challenging the low-level pokemon. You can even head to Poco Path, a place where almost all pokemon are below level 10, so your easy victory is bound. 

Secondly, you will have to make use of Ether when you are out of the Rage Fist (contains only 10 PP) to complete the task in a go. If you don’t have it, then simply be on the lookout for the red glowing pokeballs when you travel, there are a lot of them that’d just be lying around.  

Note: Even if you catch a Primeape that is above level 35, learning Rage Fist is still an option.

Remember that to make sure that your Party has Primeape, check your summary via ‘Check summary’. Go to its listed moves and to ‘Change Moves’, press A button. An option comes up saying ‘Remember Move’; select it. Now you are enabled to relearn the Rage Fist. 

Also, if you want to catch Annihilape directly, you will fail. This is because you cannot find it in the wild, and to check, go to your Pokedex entry and find out.
