Coming up with brand new designs and concepts for Pokemon for a ninth generation and over 1000 Pokemon later must be tough. This is why it’s fun to hark back to OG Pokemon and reinvent them for a new generation, which is exactly what Pokemon Scarlet and Violet do with Annihilape.

The evolution line now goes Mankey, Primeape, and now Annihilape, with the descendent of the original Kanto-based duo roaming the lands of Paldea.

Its dark origins say that the Pokemon was born of a Primeape that became so angry and furious it basically died and came back as Annihilape. On the plus side, the conditions to add the Pokemon to your party aren’t quite as dark and foreboding, so let’s run through them.
