Sheaz seriusly what are you talking about...When i say Blaiziken outspeeds Infernape i generally ment as a Sweeper/Mixed Wallbreaker.The only thing Infernape can do that Blaiziken cannot is probably Lead and a Scarfed set.But lets face it...Any 100+ base poke can slap on a Scarf and do that.Blaiziken has better Offensive stats,Bulk and after a single turn you are by far faster and your speed is about 400-ish...He also has a arguably better fighting attack that does not make you priority bait.The movepools are pretty much the same except U-turn and Stealth rock.U-turn was generally needed to get out of faster stuff who easily handled Nape such as Starmie,Flygon,Gengar,Latias etc.But Blaiziken dsn't have this problem.Why would you want to switch out if you can easily kill it anyway?And if you simply want to scout you always have Baton pass which sensible kindly pointed out which also makes something like Metagross happy.Another problem which Infernape always had a hard time over coming was Bulky waters which as Lee showed can all easily be overcomed...So how is your Infernape outclassing Blaiziken?Remember Spiritomb was once actually useful but then Rotom came in and took its niche.Its essentialy the same thing here.We have two pokes who both Wall break but one has a superior Attack,Bulk and tenchnically speed as well...So why would i want to use the other?
