Infernape physical ace build that fully invests in Attack and Speed and uses Focus Sash for a guaranteed turn to set up Swords Dance. After surviving with Focus Sash, its Blaze Ability activates, so Dominates opponents in one go with boosted Attack and high-power Fire moves.
Try changing Swords Dance depending on the team
Swords Dance becomes even stronger against opponents Infernape is already favored againstです。自分の構築が苦手な相手によって変えてみましょう。対面性能が上がるがんせきふうじ、みずフェアリーに通るダストシュート、自分より速い先制技持ちを止めるはやてがえしが候補です。
きあいのタスキを盾にして安全に攻撃力を引き上げ、高威力のタイプ一致技で相手のパーティを崩していくのが主な役割です。主力技のデメリットやタスキ消費後の脆さはありますが、Locks down weakened opponents before they can act using priority moves can also act as a stopper.
Struggles against Pokémon with high physical bulk
Infernape has excellent coverage but its Attack stat isn't particularly high.Pokémon with high physical bulk can be tanked through even after Swords Dance。裏に特殊の高火力ポケモンを入れて対応しましょう。
