Chasing the Silverback: Your Guide to Getting Shiny Annihilape in Pokemon GO

The powerful and sleek Annihilape has made its debut in Pokemon GO, and with it comes the ever-present allure of the elusive shiny variant. But how do you snag yourself a silver-toned Primeape evolution? Brace yourself, trainers, for the hunt is on!

Annihilape is coming to Pokémon Go during the Raging Battles GO Battle Week event, which takes place from January 19, 2024 to January 24. 

Annihilape can be obtained by evolving your Primape with special requirements. The Raging Battles event also brings an event-exclusive Timed Research quest.

Multiple Avenues of Ape-titude:

There are three main ways to encounter a shiny Annihilape in Pokemon GO:

1. Catch a Shiny Mankey or Shiny Primeape:

• Remember, Annihilape evolves from Primeape, who in turn evolves from Mankey. So, your shiny quest begins with these two.
• Shiny Mankey and Primeape spawn in the wild, though rarely. So, keep your eyes peeled and your Poke Balls loaded while exploring your local parks and streets.
• Lure PokéStops and gyms, as these can attract Mankey and Primeape, increasing your chances of encountering the shiny variant.
• Utilize Daily Incense and Lucky Eggs to maximize your encounters during Community Days or other events featuring these Pokemon.

2. Conquer Raging Battles:

• Raging Battles, the special event dedicated to Mankey and Primeape, offer another shot at a shiny Annihilape.
• Defeating Team Rocket Grunts during the event can reward you with Shiny Mankey encounters.
• Participating in Raids featuring Primeape also grants a chance at encountering the shiny form.

3. Evolution of Patience:

• If you already have a regular Primeape, patience is key. Accumulate 50 Mankey Candy to evolve it into Primeape.
• Then, the real test begins. You need to defeat 30 Psychic or Ghost-type Pokemon with Primeape as your buddy. Remember, the buddy doesn’t have to land the final blow, just participate in the battle.
• Once you’ve conquered 30 battles, and with a sprinkle of luck, your Primeape will evolve into the magnificent Shiny Annihilape!
• To get Annihilape, some say you need to battle 30 Ghost or Psychic-type Pokémon. Others have suggested filling Gyms with Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokémon to make the event easier.

Tips for the Hunt:

• Stock up on Poke Balls, especially Great Balls and Ultra Balls for those crucial shiny encounters.
• Consider using Silver Pinap Berries to increase your candy gain, which speeds up the evolution process.
• Join raids and events with fellow trainers to maximize your chances and share the shiny excitement.
• Don’t get discouraged! Shiny hunting requires patience and perseverance. Keep your eyes peeled, your Poke Balls ready, and your inner trainer spirit burning bright!

Primeape Power-Up: Speedrun Your Buddy Battles!

Tired of battling endless Psychic and Ghost-type Pokémon for your Annihilape evolution? This speedy trick lets you complete the task in a fraction of the time!

Here’s the plan:

1. Primeape Power: Choose your trusty Primeape as your buddy. He doesn’t even need to be in battle mode, just hanging out on your shoulder is enough.
2. Balloon Bonanza: Wait for the Psychic balloon to appear in Pokemon GO. Don’t worry, you don’t need to challenge any of the leaders yet.
3. Strategically Resign: Once the battle starts, defeat the Team Rocket Grunt’s first two Pokemon. Then, when the third one emerges, just resign from the battle. No shame in a tactical retreat!
4. Rinse and Repeat: That’s one battle down, 14 to go! Simply rematch the same Grunt and repeat the resign strategy each time. Remember, just two defeats per run, and don’t forget to keep Primeape as your buddy throughout.

Boom! Within 15 minutes, you’ll have completed the 30 buddy battles needed to evolve your Primeape into the ferocious Annihilape. No gym grinding, no endless Psychic-bashing, just a quick balloon blitz.

Bonus Tip: Use an Incense or Lucky Egg during this process to maximize your candy gain and speed up the evolution even further.

So, unleash your inner strategist and let Primeape’s buddy bond pave the way to your Shiny Annihilape in no time!

Remember: Don’t be afraid to adapt this strategy to your own Pokemon and Grunt battles. The key is to find a quick way to rack up victories without getting bogged down in long fights.

Happy hunting, trainers!

With a bit of dedication and a dash of luck, you’ll be roaring with victory as you capture your very own Shiny Annihilape in Pokemon GO. Remember, trainers, stay focused, stay strong, and most importantly, stay ape-solutely determined!
