Strategy Overview
Primeape is just one among many in UU. Its Speed is the highest of the multitude of Fighting-types in UU, its movepool is extensive, and its ability, Vital Spirit, is amazing to have in a tier overrun with Sleep Powder-carrying Grass-types. The only things holding back this furious ape are its low defenses and stiff competition in a tier filled to the brim with other able-bodied Fighting-types. However, Primeape's aforementioned perks are what separate it from the competition and make it a unique and admirable choice for any team.
