- Infernape
[WIP]
[OVERVIEW]
- One of the hardest Pokemon to switch safely into in the tier.
- Very versatile, great speed with decent offensive stats, along with good offensive typing in Fire / Fighting.
- Great Stallbreaker
- 76/71/71 defences make it quite frail and can rarely take a neutral attack reasonably well

[OTHER OPTIONS]
- Swords Dance set can be used however Infernape will rarely get the time of day to set up and is still prone to being revenge killed by scarf Ghost-types / Gengar / Starmie etc.
-
-
[CHECKS AND COUNTERS]
- Checks and counter heavily depend on the set used.
- Choice Scarfers in general can revenge kill Infernape....Flygon / Rotom-A and faster Pokemon, Starmie / Azelf / Crobat etc.
- Bulky Suicune and Gyarados variants can handle the Physical variants relatively well however the latter must watch out for the occasional Hidden Power Electric.
- Dragonite can take both of Infernape's STAB attacks once or twice however caution must be taken.
- Thunder Wave / Toxic
- Dugtrio can trap and kill it provided it isn't scarfed.
- Lures such as Occa Metagross / Occa Jirachi all work however bare in mind they must only be used as an Ape stop as a last resort..in addition to being at relatively good health. Infernape can opt to simply U-turn on Celebi instead of risking missing with Fire Blast / Blitz recoil so be wary and don't think you can lure it and beat it UNLESS you are 100% sure it is a U-turn-less variant.
- Strong attacks such as Choice Band Dragonite Extremespeed does a good 72% on average to neutral Infernape.
