Infernape, known in Japan as Gōkazaru (ゴウカザル), is a Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon in the Pokémon franchise that first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It is the third evolution of Chimchar and evolves from Monferno and is native to the Sinnoh region.
Infernape is best known for its unmatched agility and the bright ever burning flame ontop of its head, which reflects its fiery nature. Using its great speed and agility, Infernape practises a unique dance-like martial art that includes lighting its limbs on fire and tossing its opponent around to prevent them from counter attacking. Always eager to fight, Infernape will take on anyone that challanges it.
Battle vs. Blaziken, Typhlosion, and Charizard (Pokémon) (by MovieStuff65)[]
No battle will be written.
Expert's Opinion[]
- Fourth Place: Blaziken - Blaziken may have had some of the most powerful moves in its Blaze Kick and Sky Uppercut, but it lacked range or accuracy to be able to present a powerful front.
- Third Place: Typhlosion and Infernape - Typhlosion and Infernape each brought options that caused a split in voting. While Typhlosion had some powerful moves that could do consistent damage like Swift and Lava Plume, it wasn't capable of taking out the other entries before they took it out. Infernape had speed on its side, but the lack of raw power kept it from making a meaningful impact against the others in terms of damage.
- Winner: Charizard - Charizard had multiple advantages, with the versatile Flamethrower on its side and the ability to fly allowing it to pick and choose its fights when it wanted to.
