Infernape is hands down the best of the three starter evolutions, sporting impressive stats, two useful types, all while being the coolest of them. A master martial artist, it channels the raging flame on its head to use the powerful Flare Blitz attack, which does massive fire damage, but hits Infernape with significant recoil. Between Flare Blitz and Close Combat, this Pokémon is one of the versatile and powerful creatures in the game... shame they couldn't have come up with a name that wasn't also based on the word “inferno.”
