Empirilla is a Fighting-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Primeape when leveled up while holding a Jungle Crown, which evolves from Mankey starting at level 28.

Pokédex Entry

Pokédex entry When PRIMEAPE beats its rivals, it wins the right to wear the Jungle Crown, evolving it to the noble EMPIRILLA, much stronger and more intelligent.

Biology

Physiology

Empirilla is a large, bipedal monkey Pokémon. It has brown, furry hair all over its body, including a dark ruff around its neck. It has pointed ears and a pig-like snout. Its tail is long and curly. It has gold ornamentation on its body: golden cuffs on its wrists and a golden crown on its head. It has tusks protruding from its lower lip, one of which is capped in gold.

Gender Differences

Female Empirilla have a jewel on their crown.

Special Abilities

Empirilla, in addition to their mighty physical strength, have a much greater degree of intelligence and control than their pre-evolutionary stages. When it flies into a berserk rage, however, it is unstoppable.

Behavior

Empirilla have gained a sense of nobility and leadership upon evolution, and their crown compels other Pokémon to follow in their lead.
