Let's discuss our own DragonBall Z monkey! :)))

Infernape (Goukazaru)



Ability: Blaze
Classification: Flame Pokemon

76/104/71/104/71/108

What can you say about him?

He.Is.Awesome. Can't you see that simplicity that oozes out of him?

And, follow-up question. what is a good in-game set for Inernape? I'm using this:

Infernape
~Close Combat
~Mach Punch
~Flame Wheel
~Ember (Flare Blitz once he learns it)

Discuss.

And mod's, plese feel free to move or close this thread. Thanks. I'm not sure if I'm posting it in the right place.

You claim he's awesome, yet only use STAB moves? :P

Well, that's ok....but I know of much better movesets (obviously not achievable until it's at a higher level)

Close Combat / U-Turn / Stone Edge / Overheat

Overheat is godly, as is Close Combat. Stone Edge hits flying-type foes, and U-Turn can be used for switching in your other pokémon, whilst also damaging the dreaded psychic-types.

Flare Blitz / Close Combat / Grass Knot / Earthquake

I personally like this set, as Flare Blitz is extremely powerful, although self-harming, Close Combat is basically an identical fighting-type attack, although it doesn't directly hurt you, Grass Knot can hit heavy water/rock/ground-types, and Earthquake is generally brilliant, being 100/100 power/accuracy, and hits rock,ground, steel and electric types (although you shouldn't struggle against rock/steel types, it has no drawbacks, unlike Flare Blitz/Close Combat.

Infernape has so many options, I'm going to keep the post-length shorter and just link you there...scroll down and you'll see level-up, tm/hm, egg move and tutor moves available to Infernape.....believe me, there are almost 100 options...

Infernape's awesome, and I regard the way I use him as... despicable.

I'm still not in the League, that's why I find it hard to part with TM's. That's why. Though, I'll cure it's moveset once we are there.

I agree that Earthquake is brilliant with 100/100, but my Garchomp pulled EQ better than 'Nape. Grass Knot is reserved for my Leafeon.

Oh, a point I forgot to mention.

The pig owns the chicken, but the monkey owns them all! FTW!!!

I have not actually played D/P/Pt. I have no idea what the pokemon are like outside of the ones that are obtainable in HG/SS.
I have done a little bit of research into the Sinnoh starters though, Infernape can be pretty beastly I would think.
I like the moveset Amore has posted. Well the 2nd of the 2 really.
I like the power, the diversity and the type coverage.
Besides, I've always been one to go for the fire type starter.

I do disagree though. I think Infernape would definately own Blaziken but the pig, no. Just no. It would get destroyed by both I think.
I can feel your fever, taking over me.

I agree, Infernape is just one badass Pokemon!
One of my favourites, and it's amazing that although he has great attack, that didn't affect it's sp. attack!
Plus it's first pre-evo is one of the cutest Pokemon...

Infernape is a very good Pokemon. With good offensive stats of 104 and a Speed of 108, it's one of the biggest threats around. Grass Knot is good on Infernape to let it deal with bulky Waters. It's not a good option on Leafeon, though.

Hmm, to be honest... I don't think I even used an Infernape even once before, haha
Because my favorite Fire/Fighting Pokemon will always be the good old Mankey thrown into a bonfire, no need for Infernapes. Whatever happened to that thread by the way, it was epic back then when it lived.
I'll be the first to say it... I hate Infernape! :D In real life I can't stand primates, I think they're disgusting to say the least. Same goes for just about every Pokemon that is based on one. Besides Mankey and Primeape, I have a heart for those.

Another thing that bothers me about Infernape is the dual fire/fighting typing. I loved it on Blaziken, but I wasn't thrilled to see it on Infernape. Having used Blaziken constantly all throughout R/S/E I had my fill of that typing. Needless to say I got bored fast.

Speaking on just performance terms he's not bad at all. It's everything else that bothers me. :( Anyways if you're looking for a good move set you can check out Smogon. I realize that's for competitive playing, but you can use it in-game.

I have to agree here. I always hated the Chimchar line in Gen. 4. But then again I hated the Piplup line even more. xD

But anyways with respect to Infernape, it's quite applicable in battle. It's got many move options, so as others have suggested, mix up the attacks a little. STAB is always good, but don't get too over-zealous with two Fire, and two Fighting attacks.

As for FIRE/FGHT in general, I always liked it for Blaziken, but now that they're using it for 3 generations straight, it's getting a bit annoying. x3

I don't like Primates either but I love Infernape which I think got me to love Chimchar. He is my favorite fire/fighting Pokemon. Chimchar was my first starter Pokemon I started with when I first played Diamond.

I also hate the Piplup line! Compared to Chimchar, it's inferior. And the three gen Fire/Fight is, yeah, annoying.

PS: I don't know if I can do this but...

@Murasaki: That's pretty off-topic.

As soon as I saw Infernape announced I fell in love with Chimchar, Monferno and Infernape, along with Twig', Grot' and Terra'

He's super fast and super strong which makes him perfect for OU <333
