How do you evolve Primeape?

Answered by John Hunt

To evolve Primeape, you first need to catch a Mankey. Luckily, Mankey is a relatively common Pokémon in Paldea, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding one.

One of the earliest areas where you can encounter Mankey is in South Province (Area Four), just south of Cortondo. Keep an eye out for the grassy areas in this region, as Mankey is often found there. If you haven’t had any luck in Area Four, you can also try searching in South Province (Area Five) or West Province (Area One).

Once you’ve caught a Mankey, the next step is to level it up. Mankey evolves into Primeape at level 28. This means you’ll need to train your Mankey and gain experience points through battles and other activities in order to reach the required level.

Leveling up your Pokémon can be done in a few different ways. You can battle wild Pokémon in the various areas of Paldea, take on trainers in gyms or other locations, or even participate in special events or challenges that offer experience points as rewards. Additionally, using items like Rare Candies can provide an instant boost in experience, allowing your Mankey to level up more quickly.

As you continue to level up your Mankey and gain experience, keep an eye on its progress. Once it reaches level 28, it will evolve into Primeape. This evolution will typically happen automatically, without any additional actions required on your part.

In my personal experience, I remember catching a Mankey in South Province (Area Four) after a few attempts. I then trained it by battling wild Pokémon in the area, as well as taking on trainers in nearby gyms. It took some time and effort, but eventually, my Mankey reached level 28 and evolved into a powerful Primeape. Seeing its transformation was incredibly rewarding and made all the training worthwhile.

To summarize, evolving Primeape requires catching a Mankey and leveling it up to level 28. Mankey can be found in various areas of Paldea, such as South Province (Area Four), South Province (Area Five), and West Province (Area One). Train your Mankey by battling wild Pokémon, trainers, and participating in events to gain experience points and reach the required level. With dedication and perseverance, you’ll soon have a formidable Primeape by your side.
