Flavor Text

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

: It stops being angry only when nobody else is around. To view this moment is very difficult.
: It is always outrageously furious. If it gives chase, it will tenaciously track the target no matter how far.
: 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.

: It has been known to become so angry that it dies as a result. Its face looks peaceful in death, however.
: Some researchers theorize that Primeape remains angry even when inside a Poké Ball.
: 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.
: The blood vessels in its brain are sturdier than those of other Pokémon, so it can stay healthy despite its constant raging.
