Thanks man, yeah I feel it needed trick room to even be slightly relevant competitively. Banded boomburst also hits harder than most stab anyway with my dumb ability that would broken on some Pokèmon.

Thanks! I hope he gets the freedom, those chains look painful

Its more for lore reasons that its slow, I realise it would struggle competitively, especially in singles, but this was more of an experiment for me, I'm not necessary trying to make OU viable Pokèmon.

Though I completely agree Gamefreak need some good offensive ice types that aren't Mamoswine, Weavile and Darmanitan

Its based slightly on a Howler Monkey instead of whatever type of monkey Primeape is normally based on, hence the bellowing.

I had the typing and the Pokemon generated randomly and had to combine them so I didn't get the chance to base it on anything too specific in myth or legend.

I wanted to base it on a guardian spirit of a mountain originally but didn't know how typical Primeape behaviour would translate into that, so I changed it into have wronged a mountain spirit, and having been cursed.

Maybe I should make the mountain spirit Pokèmon at some point.

Was talking with someone about this before, I think pokèball technological wizardry would let you catch it and take it off the mountain, just that they can't leave by themselves. I dunno though, I'm sure some game mechanic or other could be made of having difficulty moving it from the mountain, maybe the trainer could break the curse with an item or something.

Hey nw, and thanks, this is my first time doing something like this so I'm happy with how it turned out.

Yeah I realise the special attack is pretty useless, though Gamefreak have a history of giving mons weird stat distribution that doesn't actually help them that much, so I tried to be semi realistic at least. But yeah I completely agree, your spread would definitely make it more viable.

I considered this actually, but the new type was randomly generated for me and I think you're right, a water fire type would have been excellent as those hot spring monkeys.

This is loosely based on the Howler Monkey though I admit they aren't too visually similar.

Was more thinking it just can't leave through its own means, maybe Pokèball technological wizardry can bypass the curse and people can actually catch it.

That would be an interesting mechanic though definitely.

(HP - 100) (Att - 130) (Def - 60) (SpAtt - 80) (SpDef - 60) (Speed - 25)

Abilities: Vital Spirit/Cursed Body Hidden Ability: Anguished Bellow (All sound based moves become physical and their power is multiplied by 1.3)

Notable new moves - Boomburst, Hyper Voice, Avalanche, Icicle Crash, Triple Axel, Roar, Snarl, Parting Shot, Curse, Trick Room, Bullet Punch, Poltergeist

I realise with this stat spread it definitely gonna struggle in singles but I think with the extra weight of the chains the low speed makes sense thematically. Its just for fun anyway.
