To get Annihilape in Pokémon GO, you need to evolve a Primeape under a special condition: have it as your buddy, farm candy, and defeat Ghost/Psychic types until the evolution unlocks.

Step-by-step: how to get Annihilape in Pokémon GO

1. Start with Mankey and Primeape

  • Catch a Mankey in the wild or from events/raids when available.
  • Evolve Mankey into Primeape using 50 Mankey Candy.
  • If you already have Primeape, you can skip this part.

2. Get enough candy

  • You need 100 Mankey Candy to evolve Primeape into Annihilape.
  • Ways to farm candy:
    • Catch more Mankey during spawns or events.
    • Use Primeape/Mankey as your buddy to gain candy while walking.
* Transfer extra Mankey/Primeape to the professor.
* Use Pinap Berries when catching Mankey during good spawn windows.

3. Set Primeape as your buddy

  • Go to your buddy menu and set the Primeape you plan to evolve as your active buddy.
  • The game tracks progress for the evolution requirement using that specific Primeape , so don’t swap buddies until you’re done.

4. Defeat 30 Ghost or Psychic-type Pokémon

To unlock the evolution button, you must:

  • Defeat 30 Ghost or Psychic-type Pokémon while that Primeape is your buddy.
  • Important detail:
    • Primeape does not need to be used in battle; it just must be your buddy while you defeat them.
* Any of these count:
  * Trainer Battles with friends (where they bring Ghost/Psychic teams).

  * Team GO Rocket battles against Ghost/Psychic grunts or leaders.

  * GO Battle League matches, if opponents use Ghost/Psychic Pokémon.

  * Certain NPC battles like the Master League battle versus Blanche with Metagross (Psychic/Steel), which also counts toward the total.

5. Fast methods players are using (forum-style tips)

Players on guides and community forums have worked out some quick grinds:

  • Friend battle loop
    • Ask a friend to load a team of low-CP Ghost or Psychic Pokémon.
    • Battle, defeat their whole team, repeat until you hit 30.
  • Team GO Rocket grunt loop
    • Find a Ghost/Psychic-type grunt (look at their dialogue or team typing).
    • Beat their first two Pokémon, then back out on the third and rematch; the defeated Pokémon will still count.
  • Moves suggestion from community
    • Some players recommend giving Primeape Counter and Night Slash so it performs well against both Ghost and Psychic if you actually use it in battle, though usage is optional for the requirement.

These tricks turn what could be a slow, random grind into a focused 30-win farm you can finish in a short session if you coordinate.

6. Evolve to Annihilape

Once you have:

  • 100 Mankey Candy , and
  • 30 defeated Ghost or Psychic-type Pokémon with that Primeape as buddy,

the evolve button for Primeape will show Annihilape as the next evolution.

  • Tap evolve to get Annihilape , a Fighting/Ghost-type Pokémon. It can also be shiny if your Primeape was shiny.

7. Why Annihilape is worth it (quick notes)

  • Typing: Fighting/Ghost , giving it unique coverage and interesting PvP roles.
  • Typical moveset options include:
    • Fast moves: Counter , Low Kick.
* Charged moves: **Close Combat** , **Ice Punch** , **Low Sweep** , **Night Slash** , **Shadow Ball**.
  • This mix lets it threaten many popular meta picks in certain leagues when built correctly.

“How to get Annihilape Pokémon GO” is trending in guides and community discussions because its evolution requirement is more involved than a normal candy-only evolution, so players share grind tricks like the grunt/friend loops to optimize it.

TL;DR:
Catch Mankey → evolve to Primeape (50 candy) → set that Primeape as buddy → defeat 30 Ghost/Psychic-type Pokémon in battles (friend fights, Rocket, GBL, or Blanche) → use 100 Mankey Candy to evolve into Annihilape.
