Crystal：

When PRIMEAPE becomes furious, its blood circulation is boosted. In turn, its muscles are made even stronger. However, it also becomes much less intelligent at the same time.

The blood vessels in its brain are sturdier than those of other Pokémon, so it can stay healthy despite its constant raging.
