In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Ash learned that {{Gary}} had already caught 30 Pokémon, 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 try 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, and eventually, his {{AP|Charmander}} was finally able to defeat 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, 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 most likely have cost him the match. | Ash considered using Primeape in his match against [[Erika]] in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-Sation!]]''.
