Team Rocket captures more Pokémon and turns them into Shadow Pokémon in each season of Pokémon Go, and it looks like Mankey has been added to their ranks. Now you have the chance to rescue this Pokémon and evolve it into a Shadow Primeape.

Like any new Pokémon you add to your collection, it's time to consider what moves and attacks you want to teach Primeape. As one of the most powerful Fighting-type Pokémon you can get in Pokémon Go, there are a few different choices to consider. You'll also want to think about where to use Shadow Primeape and how to optimize it for the teams you're building. Here's what you need to know about the best moveset for Shadow Primeape in Pokémon Go.

There are a variety of moves that Shadow Primeape can learn in Pokémon Go. Some moves are better than others, but Shadow Primeape can become a key attacker on any team and can have a diverse moveset based on what you need. If you’re looking for the best moveset, you’ll want to teach Shadow Primeape to use the fast move Karate Chop and the charged moves Ice Punch and Cross Chop. But before you worry about learning Shadow Primeape, you’ll want to catch a Shadow Mankey by battling Team Rocket grunts.

When it comes to giving Shadow Primeape a fast move, Karate Chop is easily the strongest choice. It’s an attack that only takes two turns to use, dealing five damage and giving out 4.5 energy per turn. The energy you can gain from using this attack is fantastic, meaning Primeape can use his charged attacks frequently. Compare that to the other fast moves he can learn, Counter and Low Kick, which fall short. They’re all Fighting-type moves, but Counter does eight damage and gives out three energy, while Low Kick does four damage and gives you 2.5 energy. Karate Chop is always going to be the best option in Pokémon Go.
