Infernape

[saviorslegacy]

What is the best moveset for an Infernape?

 

[TheRandomGuy]

Depends for what you want. My personal Favorite is
Infernape/Naive/Life-Orb *max speed*
HP Ice
Fake Out
Close Combat
Flamethrower

I prefer "**** anything that moves" infernape (337 SpA, LO w/ Overheat).

 

[ss118]

depends on your team, as with any other pokemon

 

[Jimnymebob]

Give it this=
Item= Quickclaw
Earthquake
Hyper Beam
Aerial Ace (Flying monkey FTW)
Cut

That's the way to go.
You can hurt ground Pokemon, shoot lasers, fly attack, and cut trees.
I see no flaw in that moveset.


Being serious now, just pick the moveset that best suits your situation/ fighting style.
If you want him to be defensive, give him certain moves, if you want offensive give him others.

Why not get a Life Orb set, it really works. Also, why not make it lean to either Physical or Special not both?

no ways a pure sweeper for infernape
infernape
jolly
252 att/252 spd/ 6 hp
life orb:
flare blitz
fake out
close combat
stone edge/rock slide/ eq

start off with fake out. easy 1/4- 1/5 damage.
then finish off with other attacks

More proof that proves that Life Orb Infernape is good, although a special one has more survivability. Without moves like Flare Blitz or Close Combat, a Special one can get the job done safely.

 

[Deleted member]

you're still better off with special fire, since the things weak to fire usually have lower spe defense.

 

[ToiletRoll]

I think this would be good... not too sure though...

Infernape @ Life Orb
Hasty
252 speed, 126 Atk, 126 Sp Atk
Overheat
Grass Knot
Close Combat
U-Turn

Your basic mixape. as is my understanding. it can take care of a lot of things IMO and U-Turn to retreat to something better when your under threat

 

[sonic 12111]

i like your mixape. thjo it will get ***** by jolly aerodactyl and alakazans that is good toilet bowl. but shouldnt u change overheat cuz of stat reduce?

 

[ElemMasterZeph92]

i like your mixape. Although it will get ***** by jolly aerodactyl and alakazams that is good toilet bowl. but shouldn't u change overheat because of stat reduce?

Fixed
The only other option (well safe one) would be Flamethrower, of course one could always use Flare Blitz but I don't recommend it though.

Srsly.
Thats like saying all scizors are countered by Scarftran (exepct the Focus Sash ones). OF COURSE THEY ARE >.< Overheat>Flamethrower because you overheat turn one, U-turn turn 2 =D lol
srsly.
EDIT@ toilet
Most Mixapes have HPICE> u-turn
also your EV set and nature are weird

but if he gets rid of u turn then wouldnt it be smart to get rid of overheat. u said it yourself. overheat then u turn

 

[WouW]

I don't think Infernape would stay in more than three turns attempting to sweep its counter.

Besides, two Overheats are stronger (210) than two flamethrowers (190)

 

[sonic 12111]

ya but it affects his other sp atts. after two all he can do is switch out or rely on his phisical attacks

 

[roy is my boi]

Which he should do after his counter comes in after you pwn someone.
Srsly.

 

[sonic 12111]

ya. infernapes are like the 2nd most iritating pokemon to my team. the most iritating one is breloom. i hate that thing.

 

[WouW]

^ agree

 

[sonic 12111]

^ agree

finally. someone who understands me =)

 

[WouW]

The fact that Breloom has sweeped half of my team multiple times and that I therefore fucking HATE Breloom doesn't have to do much with 'understanding' you.

 

[roy is my boi]

Just sacrifice a poke and use Ice Shard.
Srsly.

 

[WouW]

And what if my Weavile is already beaten?

 

[roy is my boi]

Don't get hit. No Johns.
If you dont have anything that outspeeds Breloom, then ur team need help. Its not like Breloom is fast.
Srsly.

ok is srsly the only thing u are gonna put after a post. i like that. maybe i need my own word. but on topic brelooms with jolly can outrun some of the most common pokemon in ou. with 263 speed it can outrun blisseys, bronzongs, cresselias, donphans dusknors forterress hipowdon machamp metagross scizor skarmory snorlax swampert tyranitar and vaporeon .most have the standard sub seed set. but i think that this set is far more effective and irritating. i take out sub seeders fast but this one i dont know if it is just me or what but it bites. =p

Breloom
toxic orb
poison heal
Adamant/ jolly
252 spd/ 200 att/ 56 hp

mach punch/ focus punch
spore
leech seed
protect

first they use protect to activate the poison heals 1/8th heal effect. then he will use spore to sleep you (assuming they hit u first he will lose some damage). then he will leech seed to gain hp. then switch off beetween mach punch and protect until they die. spore if they wake up. the breloom will most likely get back all the hp lost and he will do this to your whole team.

this set is so bad a$$. i cant beleive i and so many other people are vulnurable to this. he is the most irritating pokemon ever!!!!!

If that thing has a sub up, you need to sacrifice at least 1 poke. Or two if your Fire Blast misses.

Spoiler

**** YOU HEATRAN

breloom is an *******.

Kay, all those Pokemon are Frikken pretty slowass walls, and are basically outsped by everything.

Most (smart) people switch when they are asleep. Not a great set either btw.
EDIT: I agree that Breloom is a ***** tho. ****ing Brelooms >.<

I wouldn't call Scizor and Metagross slowass walls.[/quote]

Indeed. Spore gets Breloom a free switch so he can set up a sub and then at least 1 poké is screwed.

Or you could just switch in Glisor, and outstall him lol.

 

[WouW]

Or you don't have a Gliscor. -.-

 

[roy is my boi]

Switch in a ghost-type? Switch in someone with a multi-hitting move (Ambipom). Or predict a Spore and switch in a Sleep-absorber/Pokemon with the ability Insomnia. Or just say GG, I lose because I do not have a single Breloom counter.
Srsly.

Srsly.

if u switch in to the ambipom (with the double hit move) that is just plain dum. the breloom can predict the switch in and then focus punch his monkey a$$ to china.

 

[roy is my boi]

After you sacrifice a poke, switch in Ambipom, use double hit to break the sub.
Srsly.

 

[sonic 12111]

If u do that then he will spore you. Double hit will break the sub and do some damage but he will just sleep u and do the same thing again.
