PokeBonk Primeape
Pokemon · Mankey line · last checked 2026-10-20
PokeBonk Primeape is a Fighting-type Pokemon that you cannot pick at the start of a run: it is the evolved form of Mankey, a League Pokemon. Play Mankey and it evolves into Primeape automatically at player level 39, which raises your HP and damage multiplier to 1.12x. Primeape keeps the Mankey kit. The line sits in S tier with a Kit Score of 60.1.

How to get Primeape in PokeBonk
You do not unlock Primeape directly. First unlock Mankey through its League challenge and catch it; the PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists the conditions. Then pick Mankey for a run and level up: evolution in a run depends only on your player level, not on stones or trades, so Primeape arrives at level 39.
Each stage adds 0.12 to your HP and damage multiplier, so an evolved form hits harder and takes more hits than the Pokemon you started with. An Eviolite helps until the last stage. See PokeBonk evolution for every line.
Primeape moves and passive
Primeape uses the same four-move kit as Mankey; evolving does not swap moves. Its passive is Anger Point: +8 armor. Every hit you take enrages you: +6% damage per charge (up to 6; like Primeape, up to 8). The rage fades after 5 s without taking damage.

| 2 | Rage Fist | Ghost | Physical | Homing | Level 2 |

Primeape evolution levels in PokeBonk
In PokeBonk every evolution happens by player level inside a run, whatever the main games ask for. The Mankey line evolves like this: Mankey evolves into Primeape at level 39.
Primeape stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mankey | 0 | 105 | 6.8 | 1.09x | 1.13x | 0.96x | 1x |
| Primeape | 1 | 122 | 7.5 | 1.07x | 1.1x | 0.98x | 1.12x |
Primeape base stats

Where Primeape appears as a boss
Besides being playable, Primeape is listed as a boss on the maps: Rocky Desert as a possible zone 1 Totem. Boss HP is budgeted from your own damage per second, so the fight length stays close to the game's targets; the PokeBonk maps page lists every boss slot.
