Pokémon Debut
Annihilape, the Rage Monkey Pokémon, will make its Pokémon GO debut!
You can evolve Primeape into Annihilape after you defeat 30 Ghost-type or Psychic-type Pokémon in battle with Primeape as your buddy. You do not have to defeat these Pokémon with Primeape.
Tip: You can battle Mystic Team Leader Blanche (Master League) under Training and leave the battle after defeating their Metagross (the second Pokémon in their Party). Defeating Metagross will count towards the goal. Again, you do not need to defeat these Pokémon with Primeape nor do you need Primeape in your Battle Party.
