Ash caught Primeape on {{rt|7|Kanto}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''. | Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} Primeape on {{rt|7|Kanto}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''. After Ash learned that {{Gary}} had already caught 30 Pokémon, he aspired to catch more for himself. Soon afterward, 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 caught it and unleashed it upon Team Rocket, where it brutalized them and sent them blasting off into a nest full of wild Primeape. | ||
Ash considered using Primeape in his match against [[Erika]] in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-Sation!]]''. However he reconsidered this idea after thinking back to Primeape's explosive aggression. | |||

In ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'', after leaving Celadon City, Ash and | 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, with the promise of training 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. Although the [[narrator]] in the [[dub]] hinted at the end of the episode that it's possible that Primeape would return. | ||

Despite its few appearance, Primeape had a lot of personality. It was naturally very mischievous, but 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. | |||

Ash offered the man his Mankey in exchange for the map, only to later find out that the map was false and that he had been scammed. | ||
