Primeape just received a huge buff during a Pokemon Go Community Day exclusive move.

One of the frustrating aspects of costume Pokemon is that there are times when their evolutions don’t receive an upgrade, forcing them to be stuck in a weaker form.

The other downside is that they can’t be moved to themainline Pokemon games. So, anyone who finds a Shiny costume ‘Mon is forced to keep them in the mobile title.

Thankfully, Dedenne cannot evolve, and it’s not exactly a powerhouse in the mainline games. At least in Pokemon Go, it can be used in thelower Battle Leaguesand show off its fancy new duds while still packing a punch.
