However, even though they can nuke half of the tier, victini and darmanitan also need the sun, as they aren't very useful in the rain, sand or hail. They also have low speed in the current metagame, meaning that garchomp and thunduros-t can outspeed and KO them. Infernape has higher speed, meaning that he can outspeed a good chunk of the metagame, unlike victini and darmanitan. He also has a fighting subtype, meaning that he gets STAB on fighting moves and has a SR nuetrality. He also is a pretty good CB user because of his high speed and fighting STAB. Infernape just seems better than darmanitan and victini IMO.
