Mesprit is a
Counter to Primeape. I didn't stutter. It's a counter. You don't have to be a ghost type to knock this monkey flat on its face. Rocky Helmet punishes Primeape even further by chipping away at its health while it tries to slap you with its noodle arms. Here's some of the calcs:
252 Atk Primeape Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Mesprit: 59-70 (16.2 - 19.2%) -- possible 5HKO after Stealth Rock
252 Atk Primeape U-turn vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Mesprit: 94-112 (25.8 - 30.7%) -- 11.8% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock
252 Atk Primeape Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Mesprit: 67-79 (18.4 - 21.7%) -- guaranteed 5HKO after Stealth Rock
252 Atk Primeape Gunk Shot vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Mesprit: 79-94 (21.7 - 25.8%) -- 100% chance to 4HKO after Stealth Rock
And I'll even throw this calc in just in case someone wants to be cheeky and run Night Slash on Primeape
252 Atk Primeape Night Slash vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Mesprit: 94-112 (25.8 - 30.7%) -- 11.8% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock
252 Atk Primeape Night Slash vs. 252 HP / 240+ Def Mesprit on a critical hit: 142-168 (39 - 46.1%) -- 19.9% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
PS: Mesprit still wrecks you
