That Groundon Growth set reminds me, that I tried to write a set for Growth Infernape to be used under the sun, but there were too many options! Overheat, Blue Flame, Blue Flame, Lava Plume, V-Generate, Sacred Fire, and those are just Fire moves! Also Infernape can learn so many useful fighting moves! In addition to Close Combat, Drain & Mach Punch; Infernape can now learn Reversal, Hi Jump Kick, Sacred Sword, Aura Sphere, Sword of Mystery, so many others!
I suppose the BEST set would be:
Burn, baby, Burn! Disco Infernape
Infernape @ Charcoal/ Life Orb/ White Herb/ Salac Berry
*EVS either Defensive if you're use take advantge of moves with high burn rates, or Maxed out Attack & Speed for Blaze/Reversal Strategy*
-Growth
-Blue Flame/ Overheat/ V-Generate/ Sacred Fire/ Flare Blitz/ Flame Charge
-Reversal/ Hi Jump Kick/ Close Combat/ Drain Punch/ Aura Sphere/ Sword of Mystery/
-Lightning Strike/ Volt Tackle/ Power Whip/ Wood Hammer/ Leech Horn/ Giga Drain/ Solar Beam/ Mach Punch/ Extreme Speed/ Vacuum Wave/ Sucker Punch
Set up Sun with a teammate, bring out Infernape, Grow, and let the pain begin! Choose a Fire Move, a Fighting Move, and a Electric/Grass move to get those pesky water types, particularly King Jellyfish. You can use high recoil moves like Flare Blitz and Wood Hammer/Volt tackle to get you low enough HP to take advantage of Blaze & Reversal.
In fact you can run a set with Flare Blitz/ Sacred Fire/ Blue Flame/ Overheat, Reversal, and a priority move holding either a Focus Sash or a Salac Berry; the strategies are:
1)If you're holding a Focus Sash; get a defense lowering nature, use Growth as you go down to 1 HP, activating Blaze, and now you've got 200 base power reversal, Blue Flame or Overheat, and a priority move. Your opponents team is pretty much doomed.
2)If you're holding a Salac Berry use a more defensive EV Spread have a team mate set up Screens, bring out Infernape, spam Flare Blitz whilst taking weakened hits, (especially if you manage to burn you're opponent.) until you reach & 200 Power Reversal. Now sweep with Reversal & Sucker Punch/Extreme Speed. Or you can drop a priority move and replace it with V-Generate:
V-Gererate + Growth's Attack Boost + STAB + Sun's Boost to Fire Moves + Blaze's Boost to Fire Moves = Perfect last ditch move that will melt away any opponent that doesn't have Flash Fire or is Water/Rock.
Electivire is Super Effective
Electivire @ Expert Belt/ Life Orb/ Choice Band/ Wide Lens
*Max Attack and Speed*
-Lightning Strike/ Volt Tackle
-Ice Punch/ Icicle Drop
-Close Combat/ High Jump Kick/ Fire Punch/ Blaze Kick/ Dragon Dance
-Earthquake/ ExtremeSpeed/ Fire Punch/ Blaze Kick/ Dragon Dance
This is essentially Electivire's "classic early Diamond & Pearl" set on steriods, and trained by Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, and Chuck Norris. Electric/Ice/Fighting/Ground hits 12 out of the 17 type for super effective damage.
You can replace either your Fighting move or Earthquake with Fire Punch/ Blaze Kick if you worried about being walled by Shedinja. You can even run Dragon Dance to boost your stats! I would suggest Gear Change, but then you wouldn't be able to use neither Lightning Strike nor Icicle Drop
You can boost Electivire's attacks with Expert Belt, Life Orb, or Choice Band; you can use Wide Lens to give Icicle Drop and High Jump Kick perfect accuracy.
