This means you can participate in Rocket battles, Gym battles, League battles, battles against other trainers, and even the Team Leader trainers. The only requirement is that Primeape remains your Buddy as you take down the Ghost and Psychic Pokemon.

Annihilape is another new addition to Pokemon GO, and it’s great to see that it has an obtainable in-game way to evolve. Speaking of evolutions, as of the Pokemon GO Tour: Sinnoh, trainers will be able to catch Origin Forme Palkia and Dialga, which offer some new in-game features, too!
