Trainers who want to participate in the event should know that this is the best chance to evolve your Primeape into Annihilape since the requirements for its evolution are related to defeating Ghost and Psychic-type Pokemon, and the event spawns will focus on those types of Pokemon.

Pokemon Go Raging Battles event Annihilape debut

Annihilape will be debuting in Pokemon Go as part of the Raging Battles event. As mentioned previously, trainers will need to complete a series of battle-related challenges to evolve their Primeapes into Annihilape.

Trainers will be able to evolve Primeape into Annihilape after they defeat 30 Ghost-type or Psychic-type Pokemon in battle while having Primeape as a buddy.

Pokemon Go stated that trainers don’t need to directly engage in combat using Primeape to fulfill the requisites, they just need to have it as a buddy.
