I need a moveset
 
for Sp. Sweeper Infernape. Here's what I have so far:
Grass Knot
Focus Blast
Flamethrower
???

Help!

well i dunno about this but you could try:

Infernape @ Wide Lens/Focus Sash
Timid/Naive/Hasty Nature
252 SPD/184 SP ATK/72 HP
-Fire Blast/Flamethrower
-Focus Blast
-Grass Knot
-Nasty Plot/Calm Mind/Close Combat

naive/hasty nature if you use Close Combat. Nasty Plot for Timid, and Calm Mind if you want Infernape to be able to take a hit from someone like Gengar or ChoiceScarf PorygonZ.

How about a hidden power?

Arcknight316 November 17th, 2007 12:29 PM

Hmm.....it;s Timid, but I think I'll try some Calm Mind-ing. I haven't determined its Hidden Power yet.

EDIT: Grass Knot is SPECIAL????? i never knew that....

Another Edit: Maybe I'll use it to Sunnybeam....?

Anti November 17th, 2007 12:32 PM

no to sunnybeaming. Just don't do it.

Nasty plot would probably help your cause for special sweeping.

lol

Infernape is a sweeper, letting it take hits and act as a tank is a BAD idea. Its defenses are horrible, CM won't change that.

Maybe Hidden Power Rock to couter Flying weakness.

Or Stone Edge =P but that's physical

hiiden Power Ice ;) Might be a decent idea.

Samson November 17th, 2007 1:59 PM

Calm Mind is very decent. when used on the switch, it allows him to survive hits from special sweepers who are faster than him. infernape, unfortunately, isn't the fastest so you really have to make up for that by either giving him a choice item, giving him focus sash, or giving him the ability to take a hit.

Substitute is really good on Infernape.

Try this:

Infernape @ Life Orb
Timid/Naive/Hasty Nature
252 SPD/252 SP ATK/4 ATK
Flamethrower
Substitute
Grass Knot
Close Combat

Subsistute on the switch, so even faster opponents have to take a hit before they break your sub.

Arcknight316 November 17th, 2007 6:27 PM

checked out its HP....its steel. ouch :(

Anti November 17th, 2007 6:40 PM

Rebreed then if you have to...
