Players will need to use Rage Fist twenty times to prompt the evolution, useable by both Primeape and Annihilape. This is actually a brand new move for Scarlet and Violet. Rage Fist converts the user’s rage into energy to attack, and the
more times the user has been hit by attacks, the greater the move’s power.
