How To Get Primeape and Evolve it into Annihilape in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
You cannot catch this Ghost/Fighting dual-type in the wild. First, you have to get a Primeape by evolving Mankey or catching one in the wild. You can find Primeape in West Province (Area Three), North Province (Area One), and North Province (Area Two).
Once you get a Primeape, you can evolve it into Annihilape by using the Rage Fist move 20 times. At level 35, Primeape will learn this move on its own. To do so, you can use Exp Candies, Rare Candies, and Meal Powers. Then, you can start the grind to evolve it.
