Strategy Overview
When compared to other Fire-type Pokemon in UU, Infernape has no issue standing out, being the only one in the tier to possess a secondary Fighting typing, which offers excellent coverage and a neutrality to Stealth Rock. Infernape boasts equal 104 / 104 offenses, complemented by an offensive movepool with matchless versatility, featuring even priority moves such as Mach Punch and Vacuum Wave, making it very difficult for the opponent to predict what Infernape is going to do.
However, the plethora of options at Infernape's disposal can be viewed as a weakness, as it often suffers from four-moveslot syndrome, meaning certain Pokemon will always check it based on its choices. Coupled with its poor defenses and exploitable typing, Infernape can have trouble switching in and taking strong hits, so it must be played carefully to be used to full effect.
