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. | ||

However, after thinking back to Primeape's explosive aggression, he decided not to, as its brutality would likely cost him the match. | ||
In ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'', after leaving Celadon City, Ash and {{ashfr}} met a man named {{OBP|Anthony|EP029}} who was training to win the [[P1 Grand Prix]], a tournament for {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. Anthony's daughter, {{OBP|Rebecca|EP029}}, wanted him to stop spending so much time away from home training. Brock and Ash volunteered to enter the tournament to discourage Anthony, with Ash entering Primeape. In the first match against a {{p|Machop}}, Ash saved Primeape from a nasty fall, which caused the usually vicious Pokémon to become closer to Ash. Primeape listened to Ash's instructions and eventually won the tournament. Anthony offered to train Primeape for Ash, promising to train it to become a P1 champion, so Ash left Primeape with Anthony. Primeape, unlike the other Pokémon that Ash has given to another Trainer for training, hasn't been seen since. | In ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'', after leaving Celadon City, Ash and {{ashfr}} met a man named {{OBP|Anthony|EP029}} who was training to win the [[P1 Grand Prix]], a tournament for {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

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.
