Preparing for battle
Trainers must prepare carefully for this raid, as
Infernape’s mix of speed and powerful moves makes it a formidable Pokemon to face.
Key factors to consider are as follows:
Iron Fist-boosted moves
Expect to see boosted punching moves like Mach Punch, Fire Punch, and Thunder Punch, all of which will deal extra damage.
Rock-type attacks
Infernape’s Rock-type Tera form will likely come with moves such as Stone Edge or Rock Slide to take full advantage of its Tera type.
Low defense but high speed
Although Infernape has lower defenses, its high speed and attack stats will allow it to dish out a flurry of attacks before players can react.
Vulnerabilities
Infernape is weak to Water, Ground, and Fighting-type moves, making them the most effective strategies for success.
With Infernape’s combination of powerful punches and Rock-type moves, careful team selection and strategy will be essential to secure victory. Trainers have two chances to challenge this fiery opponent and earn the prestigious Mightiest Mark.
