PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Fire Spin is the better fast move with STAB and should be paired with Blast Burn.
  • Flamethrower is a downgrade, but at least it's not a legacy move. 
  • Rock Smash + Close Combat makes Infernape a Fighting attacker - a poor one.
  • Solar Beam and Close Combat are decent moves and are occasionally useful.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Rock Smash is as damaging as Fire Spin in defense but has better counter coverage.
  • Flamethrower is 2-bar and has an early damage window, therefore is more likely to hit.
  • Blast Burn is somewhat easy to dodge, but being a 2-bar move lets it be used more often. 
  • Close Combat hits very early and is quite hard to dodge, if it gets used at all.
  • Solar Beam, despite being a good coverage move, has 1 bar and is easy to dodge.

PVE Overview

Without a high ATK stat, Infernape is outclassed by a lot of Fire-type Pokemon that we already have. While the addition of its Community Day move, Blast Burn, is an improvement, it's not enough to make up for its lack of stats.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Fire Spin + Blast Burn* and Close Combat

Fire Spin is preferred for its considerably better energy gains compared to Rock Smash, though both moves offer the same STAB damage output. 

Blast Burn is a legacy move obtained during Chimchar's Community Day, and is a direct upgrade over Flamethrower in both damage output and energy cost. If you don't have the former, then the latter is still okay for providing Fire-type coverage. Close Combat takes just a tad more energy to pull off and also has STAB, making it another worthwhile move for its wide coverage. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1.5 / 5

Infernape has no real place in the Great League. All of its notable wins are better handled by other Pokemon, and it has too many losses to be worth considering. 

Ultra League: 1 / 5

Once again, Infernape has no place in the Ultra League due to holding no niche of its own.

Master League: 0 / 5

Perhaps Candela should re-think her Master League team...? At least until it learns Blast Burn.
