Type/s: Fighting HP: 333 Attack: 308 Defense: 218 Speed: 288 Special: 218
Weaknesses: Psychic (2x) Resistances: Rock (0.5)
Tier: UU
Body Slam Hyper Beam Counter/Seismic Toss Submission
It's pretty much a weaker Machamp with more speed. It has a nice speed stat but when your only STAB move is Submission, you would rather have the HP and attack that Machamp does. Primeape also doesn't get EQ which hurts its use, as it can't hit as many Pokemon.
Body Slam and Hyper Beam are pretty obvious. Counter works because of Primeape's very low defense, while Seismic Toss is good for finishing off a high defense Pokemon and not having to worry about Hyper Beam missing or the foe switching out. Overall, Primeape just doesn't have enough power and it's movepool is too lacking, so it's a low tier fighting type. Submission is your only STAB move, so use it.
Other options: Dig has little potential considering you're better off hitting rock types with Submission (It will do more damage anyway) and the foe can switch out, but it can be good for non Reflect Electabuzz. Thunderbolt is good for Gyarados and Cloyster as the former will be 2HKOd and the latter will be 3HKOd.
