Suggested usage notes

Infernape performs best when its role is clearly defined in team preview. As a Speed Control Pokémon, focus on positioning it where it can execute its job without being forced into unfavorable exchanges. Be mindful of Psychic- and Fairy-type coverage from the format's top special attackers.

When teambuilding, pair Infernapewith Pokémon that cover its type weaknesses (see counters section below) and provide the speed control or redirection it needs to function. Review the common moves and items section for established sets, then adjust based on your team's specific needs.
