Restrictions 1 and 3
Like many things with Infernape’s toolset, this is an everymon. Slap on Veil, Rocks, and U-Turn and you have a good pivot lead. Lean into both offenses for pressure, or opt for one offensive stat with SD or NP to be a sweeper. If the meta stays around this mon’s power level it would be quite hard for Vanillape to fall out of every possible niche it could fill.
