Pokédex entries by game

Descriptions recorded in these games. This list does not establish where the Pokémon can be caught or transferred.

Red · Blue

Always furious and tenacious to boot. It will not abandon chasing its quarry until it is caught.

Yellow · X · Lets Go Pikachu · Lets Go Eevee

It stops being angry only when nobody else is around. To view this moment is very difficult.

Gold · Heartgold

If approached while asleep, it may awaken and angrily give chase in a groggy state of semi-sleep.

Silver · Soulsilver

It becomes wildly furious if it even senses someone looking at it. It chases anyone that meets its glare.

Crystal

It will beat up anyone who makes it mad, even if it has to chase them until the end of the world.

Ruby · Sapphire

When PRIMEAPE becomes furious, its blood circulation is boosted. In turn, its muscles are made even stronger. However, it also becomes much less intelligent at the same time.

Emerald

When it becomes furious, its blood circulation becomes more robust, and its muscles are made stronger. But it also becomes much less intelligent.

Firered · Y

It is always outrageously furious. If it gives chase, it will tenaciously track the target no matter how far.

Leafgreen

Always furious and tenacious to boot. It will not abandon chasing its quarry until it catches up.

Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2

It grows angry if you see its eyes and gets angrier if you run. If you beat it, it gets even madder.

Omega Ruby · Alpha Sapphire

When Primeape becomes furious, its blood circulation is boosted. In turn, its muscles are made even stronger. However, it also becomes much less intelligent at the same time.

Sun

It has been known to become so angry that it dies as a result. Its face looks peaceful in death, however.

Moon

Some researchers theorize that Primeape remains angry even when inside a Poké Ball.

Ultra Sun

It will never forgive opponents who have angered it. Even after it has beaten them down until they can’t move, it never ever forgives.

Ultra Moon

The blood vessels in its brain are sturdier than those of other Pokémon, so it can stay healthy despite its constant raging.
