I can't believe they made another Fire/Fighting Pokémon as a starter... Seriously, it has basically the same stats as Blaziken, looks awful, and has less offense with more HP. It's speed is horrendous for a Sub-Punch set, too, which it could have been good at with a huge HP stat and STAB FP off of 123 base attack.
I true that. Plus, it can pull off a Nitro Boost set, since Nitro Boost is a Fire-type new Speed+ move. It has decent bulk to survive a hit, boost, and sweep of its 123 Base Attack. More useful than Blaziken, if you ask me. Well, now that Blaziken has Speed Boost, he seems like a much more useful choice than before(then again, I`ve always hated how Infernape outclassed him, so Im probably quite biased) Yeah, now Infernape's main advantage over Blaziken is gone =D I wouldn't be surprised if Blaziken became OU this generation because of that ability alone. It can set up a sub on a switch, SD the next turn, and Baton Pass away with +3 Speed... Basically a Ninjask with way more defenses (albeit still not very good defenses), way better STABs and no SR weakness. | |
