Primeape

Primeape distinguishes itself among the various Fighting-types in LGPE OU by virtue of its access to U-turn, allowing it to function as a fearsome pivot that can take advantage of common checks such as Mew and Zapdos. This, in tandem with Primeape's access to plentiful coverage options and a strong Low Kick, gives it a decent niche as an all-out attacker. Furthermore, Primeape's decent Speed tier enables it to be effective against common foes like Dragonite and Gyarados. However, its Speed stat is not amazing and leaves it susceptible to prominent threats such as Mega Alakazam, Mega Aerodactyl, and Starmie. Furthermore, Primeape faces competition from other Fighting-types such as Poliwrath, Machamp, and Hitmonlee that possess better defensive or offensive capabilities.
