Infernape A Tier (Fighting)
General Info
Infernape has 2 common sets on fighting teams one is a lead. the lead set can make it so an opponent can't set up Stealth Rocks which makes it so your sashes cannot be broken. Also Infernape with its attacking stats can do a lot of damage making it a good support lead unlike coblaion which does not do as much damage. Other things it can do is run an all out attacking mixed Infernape which hits like a truck and kill lots of Pokemon. it is similar to terrakion and keldeo expect lower offenses but it can go mixed making it a big threat. The moves i state here thunder punch is to deal with bulky water if wanted. Stone edge is for Zard-Y. earthquake is for just a random and useless coverage move. u-turn is there to gain momentum. last of all hidden Power ice is there to deal with Lando-i if you want to deal with that. Also it gets 2 abilities if you have mach bunch go with iron fist if you don't have mach punch go with blaze like on the support set.
Other sets
The other moves it can run are flare blitz with a choice banded set which hits like a truck but it does not abuse Infernape's special attack potential which makes it a weak Terrakion. It is a slightly weaker version of Terrakion and Keldeo with better coverage moves and ability to go mixed, Also scarf Infernape is viable but it is kinda meh since ape does not like being locked into a move and Terrakion and Keldeo outclass it as a scarfer. Overall Infernape is A rank because of its mixed power speed and its support potential as the best stealth rocker on fighting and best way to prevent your sashes being broken via hazards and it also has ways to 2 hit ko the majority of the A Rank with its dual stab and a coverage move. but Infernape is very frail which makes it A rank
