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. | In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Ash learned that {{Gary}} had already caught 30 Pokémon, and he aspired to catch more for himself.

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. | Ash considered using Primeape in his match against [[Erika]] in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-Sation!]]''.

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. | Despite its few appearances, Primeape was naturally mischievous, but it also showed itself to be particularly irritable.
