How to get Primeape during Pokemon GO Mankey Community Day?
The following are the ways to obtain Primeape in the event:

1) Evolve a wild Mankey into one
Mankey will appear frequently in the wild during Pokemon GO Mankey Community Day. So, make sure you collect 50 Candies so that you can trigger the evolution of the monster into Primeape.
The featured creature of this event will spawn in higher numbers in the game; however, you will want to play Pokemon GO in Cloudy Weather, as this weather increases the spawn rate of Mankey. Furthermore, you can activate the Lure Modules and Incense to boost the rate of spawns further.
