MetaMons competitive notes
Infernape is a fire/fighting-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 534 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 108) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Blaze ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Infernape. Build around what Infernape actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
