[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Primeape's decent Speed stat, great typing, and movepool all make it a wonderful Choice Scarf Pokémon in Ubers. Primeape, outside of being a good revenge killer, is an amazing Darkrai counter. Being resistant to Darkrai’s Dark-type STAB and immune to sleep, Primeape can switch in with ease and then proceed to U-turn out or OHKO Darkrai with STAB Close Combat.</p>

<p>There really is not a whole lot more Primeape can do, so the given moves are usually the best to run. U-turn allows you to scout out your opponent's team, while avoiding getting trapped by the elusive Wobbuffet. Close Combat is a general STAB move to hit Pokémon who aren’t the Giratina formes or Psychic-types. Punishment is a make or break move against Calm Mind Mewtwo and Giratina-O, hurting them for every time they decide to boost a stat. The throw up between Ice Punch and Stone Edge is your call. If you go with Ice Punch you can hit the many Uber Dragon-types for super effective damage, while Stone Edge will give you more coverage against the likes of Ho-oh while still hitting Rayquaza for super effective damage.</p>

<p>The EVs are a bit odd, but they serve a purpose. The 180 Speed EVs will give Primeape enough Speed to outpace Timid Mewtwo with an Adamant nature, but if you decide to go with a Jolly nature, Primeape will outrun a max Speed Deoxys-A. If you want Primeape to outpace positive nature base 90 Choice Scarf Pokémon, such as Kyogre and Dialga, then you should run at least 216 Speed EVs. 252 Attack EVs to give Primeape more of a kick, and the rest is dumped into HP to make sure that Dark Pulse off of a non Life Orb Darkrai is only a 3HKO. Vital Spirit is the only ability to run with this set, as the main goal is to be able to switch in on Darkrai and threaten it out.</p>

<p>When using Primeape the main problem it faces are other Choice Scarf Pokémon such as Palkia, Garchomp, and the annoying Ghost-type Giratina formes. The Choice Scarf Pokémon are easily handled by Primeape’s best friend, Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet can come in on most Choice Scarf Pokémon and KO them with either Mirror Coat or Counter. Rayquaza is a different problem altogether. As it has three deadly sets: mixed, Swords Dance, and Dragon Dance, Rayquaza is really a wild card. Most Rayquaza are the Swords Dance version, so using a Pokémon such as max Speed Dialga will handle Rayquaza rather well. If it turns out to be the Dragon Dance set, Choice Scarf Palkia is the one of the only Pokémon who can revenge kill it safely, though Choice Scarf Gengar can switch into Rayquaza as it uses either Swords Dance or Dragon Dance and OHKO with Hidden Power Ice. Giratina and Giratina-O are big problems, as Giratina-O is a powerhouse and can leave your team in rubble. If Giratina-O isn’t running Hidden Power Fire, and the sun is out, then Forretress with Payback makes a nice counter to it, Scizor also works equally well with Pursuit. Giratina-A will bow down to Taunt Calm Mind Mewtwo, who can set up on it with little to no threat.</p>

[Team Options]
<p>Primeape, like most Choice Scarf Pokémon, enjoys having Stealth Rock and a layer or two of Spikes on the field to help it sweep. Deoxys-S leads are good at making sure you’re getting Stealth Rock and one layer of Spikes on the ground right away. If not, using something like a supporting Groudon would also be nice, paralyzing your opponents Choice Scarf Pokémon and easing your sweep.</p>

<p>Primeape is going to have a difficult time getting past the Uber walls such as Giratina and Lugia, so having a Pokémon, like Mewtwo, who can easily come in on the two and set up is something worth considering. If Mewtwo isn’t your type of Pokémon, and if you can find a place where you can set up a Swords Dance Garchomp, then Garchomp can also take down the two walls rather easily.</p>

<p>With poor defenses, Primeape really needs to be careful of priority users in the Uber metagame. Rayquaza, being the most common priority user, poses a large threat to Primeape, so carrying a Pokémon that is either immune to ExtremeSpeed, such as Gengar, or resists it, like Dialga, will severely ease the problems which Rayquaza can cause.</p>

[Other Options]
<p>This set is really the best that Primeape can do, though a Choice Band set that invests heavily into HP and Special Defense could work. Outrage could be used on the Choice Scarf set to hit Dragon-types harder than your other moves will, but it leave Primeape very easy to revenge kill.</p>

[EVs]
<p>Maxing its Attack stat is the first thing you should do when using Primeape, making Primeape hit as hard as it can. The next question is how much should you invest into Speed. With a Jolly nature and 252 Speed EVs, Primeape will Speed tie with threats such as Scarf Dialga and +1 Rayquaza. If you do not like risking a game on Speed ties, then invest enough EVs into Speed so you can outrun non Choice Scarf Mewtwo. Dump the remaining EVs into HP.</p>

[Opinion]
<p>When it comes to revenge killers in Ubers, there is better. When it comes to Darkrai counters, there is nothing better. Primeape can make use of its excellent Fighting-type STAB in Ubers to hurt almost all Pokémon which do not resist it. When it boils down to your team you have to ask yourself if you are weak to Darkrai. If so, can you use Primeape on your team?</p>

[Counters]
<p>Giratina, Giratina-O, Choice Scarf Dialga and Palkia, Swords Dance Rayquaza, and Groudon are the best answers when it comes to Primeape. Groudon can OHKO it with its STAB Earthquake, or better yet it can even set up on Primeape if it is running the Rock Polish set. A supporting Groudon can paralyze it, making Primeape useless. Rayquaza resists its STAB Close Combat, making it easy enough to set up a Swords Dance, or just using ExtremeSpeed right away for a good portion of Primeape’s HP. The Choice Scarf users outspeed Primeape, so they can OHKO with their STAB Dragon-type attacks easily, though they should be wary of switching in, as Close Combat hurts. The Giratina formes don’t have much to worry about. Giratina-A can burn Primeape, while Giratina-O can set up a Substitute and Calm Mind. Wobbuffet handles Primeape with ease thanks to its trapping ability, Shadow Tag, Counter, and resisting Primeape's Fighting-type STAB.</p>

<p>There really is not a whole lot more Primeape can do, so the given moves are usually the best (removed "one", which needs an "s" anyway) to run. U-turn allows you to scout out your opponent's team, while avoiding getting trapped by the elusive Wobbuffet(removed "and"). Close Combat is a general STAB move to hit Pokémon who aren’t the Giratina formes (removed ",") or Psychic-types.

Nice Job Gen., changes and fixes are bolded.

The Choice Scarf Pokémon are easily handled by Primeape’s best friend, Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet can come in on most Choice Scarf Pokémon and KO them with either Mirror Coat or Counter.

If Mewtwo isn’t your type of Pokémon(insert comma) and if you can find a place where you can set up Swords Dance Rayquaza, it can also take down the two walls rather easily. You need to reword this sentence, as grammatically speaking, the word "it" here refers to Mewtwo and not Rayquaza. Try this "If Mewtwo isn't your type of Pokemon, Swords Dance Rayquaza can also take down the two walls easily if you can find a place to set up Swords Dance."</p>

I would change the name to "Ubers Choice Scarf." The current title sounds like Primeape's only job is to counter Darkrai. But Primeape can still function as a decent revenge killer and scout with the aid of a Choice Scarf.

 

[Matthew]

Thanks for the proof read, I incorporated most of your changes.

 

[mtr]

I'll add my suggestions and edits. It looks like the first few sections are fairly well-polished, so I'll start at Team Options.

[Team Options]
<p>Primeape, like most Choice Scarf Pokémon, enjoys having Stealth Rock and a layer or two of Spikes on the field to help it sweep. Is the main concern of Primeape to sweep, or to stop other threats from sweeping you? Deoxys-S leads are good at making sure you’re getting Stealth Rock and one layer of Spikes on the ground right away. If not, using something like a supporting Groudon would also be nice, paralyzing your opponents Choice Scarf Pokémon and easing your sweep. No mention of Forretress?</p>

<p>Primeape is going to have a difficult time getting past the Uber walls such as Giratina and Lugia, so having a Pokémon, like Mewtwo, who can easily come in on the two and set up is something worth considering. If Mewtwo isn’t your type of Pokémon, and if you can find a place where you can set up a Swords Dance Garchomp, then Garchomp can also take down the two walls rather easily.</p>

<p>With poor defenses, Primeape really needs to be careful of priority users in the Uber metagame. Rayquaza, being the most common priority user, poses a large threat to Primeape, so carrying a Pokémon that is either immune to ExtremeSpeed, such as Gengar, or resists it, like Dialga, will severely ease the problems which Rayquaza can cause. Scizor is also a problem, but it can be beaten through an advantage in residual damage, but it's worth mentioning that.</p>

I would add a small paragraph here about what teams Primeape can function well on. Maybe mention that stall teams are often so weak to Darkrai that they often warrant the use of Primeape in the final slot. It sounds a bit from this section like Primeape is a central teammate rather than a Darkrai check/revenge killer. Other than that, I've tried out Primeape on stall, but there are probably better options on offensive teams. Still, you know more, so this is up to you.

[Other Options]
<p>This set is really the best that Primeape can do, though a Choice Band set that invests heavily into HP and Special Defense could work. Outrage could be used on the Choice Scarf set to hit Dragon-types harder than your other moves will, but it leave Primeape very easy to revenge kill. Fire Punch to lure in and kill Scizor and Forretress, maybe?</p>

[EVs]
<p>Maxing its Attack stat is the first thing you should do when using Primeape, making Primeape hit as hard as it can. The next question is how much should you invest into Speed. With a Jolly nature and 252 Speed EVs, Primeape will Speed tie with threats such as Scarf Dialga and +1 Rayquaza. If you do not like risking a game on Speed ties, then invest enough EVs into Speed so you can outrun non Choice Scarf Mewtwo. Dump the remaining EVs into HP.</p>

[Opinion]
<p>When it comes to revenge killers in Ubers, there are better. When it comes to Darkrai counters, there is nothing better. Primeape can make use of its excellent Fighting-type STAB in Ubers to hurt almost all Pokémon which do not resist it. When it boils down to your team you have to ask yourself if you are weak to Darkrai. If so, can you use Primeape on your team?</p>

[Counters]
<p>Giratina, Giratina-O, Choice Scarf Dialga and Palkia, Swords Dance Rayquaza, and Groudon are the best answers when it comes to Primeape. Groudon can OHKO it with its STAB Earthquake, or better yet it can even set up on Primeape if it is running the Rock Polish set. A supporting Groudon can paralyze it, making Primeape useless. Rayquaza resists its STAB Close Combat, making it easy enough to set up a Swords Dance, or just using ExtremeSpeed right away for a good portion of Primeape’s HP. The Choice Scarf users outspeed Primeape, so they can OHKO with their STAB Dragon-type attacks easily, though they should be wary of switching in, as Close Combat hurts. The Giratina formes don’t have much to worry about. Giratina-A can burn Primeape, while Giratina-O can set up a Substitute and Calm Mind.</p>

Good work overall. Primeape definitely has its uses.

You could mention Fire Punch and Low Kick in OO. Fire Punch scores a OHKO on Scizor and a 2HKO on Forretress, something that Close Combat cannot do. Otherwise, Scizor could 2HKO Primeape with Bullet Punch, and Forry can get two layers of TSpikes up. Low Kick hits most Ubers for 120 base power damage, which is the same as Close Combat but without the Def drop and with more PP.

With a Jolly nature and 252 Speed EVs, Primeape will Speed tie with threats such as Scarf Dialga and +1 Rayquaza.

Primeape has base 95 speed, Dialga base base 90 Speed.

. If Origin isn’t running Hidden Power Fire, and the sun is out, then Forretress with Payback makes a nice counter to it, Scizor also works equally well with Pursuit

Are we allowed to shorten Giratina-O to Origin?

[Counters]
<p>Giratina, Giratina-O, Choice Scarf Dialga and Palkia, Swords Dance Rayquaza, and Groudon are the best answers when it comes to Primeape

Even if all of these deal with Primeape nicely, Scarf Dialga can't swap in to CC and neither will Palkia. Plus, Jolly Scarf Primeape outruns Scarf Dialga

Wobb needs to be mentioned as a counter because unless you're U-turning, you'll die against it horribly.
