I wish fortune tents in Festival Plaza weren't version exclusive. Really hoping to get a 1-star Unova Tent.

Eternal Floette was coded in Bank since the beggining. It is here to stay, like Ash-Greninja and Dusk Lycanroc.

Here's a list analysis breaking down ten characters who won't make surprise cameos in the next Pokemon game, and why.

Cue them making cameos and that poor excuse for clickbait becoming irrelevant.

Hey, don't know if it's Kosher to ask for this here, but could someone help me get a Scyther in Let's Go Eevee? It's the one Pokemon I'm missing.

Plus I need to get the trade evos

False Swipe Gaming's longest video yet is about Infernape, and for good reason. This little fire monkey has quite the history for its debut gen, for singles and doubles. Unfortunately it dropped to UU due to powercreep, but it still shines from time to time there.

As expected of SON GOKU.

Also, the Mewtwo review was longer 25 minutes, so it's the second longest.

Infernape made the firexfighting starter meme worth it.

Mostly.

Generation 4 is when I got into competitive, so I'm more than familiar with the Ape. He definitely defined the fire/fighting starters out of him, Blaziken and Emboar.

Stunky

#435.5 - Stunky live in dens along the forest floor. They’re not powerful fighters, so they protect themselves by spraying a noxious fluid from their rear. The foul fluid is so revolting that it can make people feel queasy up to a mile and quarter away. The stench lingers for 24 hours, driving away surrounding Pokemon. Though their spray range increases with age, they remain vulnerable to attacks from above. Trainers looking to raise a Stunky or Skuntank must train them well not to spray, or else must learn to deal with the horrid smell.

[up][up] Based on the quick look at Smogon, Intimidate, Will-o-wisp, Snarl, Fire resist, and lack of reliable recovery on Infernape's part.

Will-o-wisp doesn't affect Infernape though?

Looks like I don't know much about Pokemon don't I.

Looking harder, it's mainly Arcanine's Fire resist, decent bulk, and recovery vs Infernape's lack therof which usually does Infernape in, especially in doubles.

I'm pretty sure it's just Infernape not being allowed in VGC 17 as it's not in the Alola Dex. For the record, Infernape does Fake Out, and most Arcanine ditches Will-O-Wisp in the later part of VGC 17. From what I have seen, only one Senior team actually packs Will-O-Wisp because as it turns out, Tapu Fini is really, really dominating and the burn damage nerf means special attackers don't mind it anymore. Link is here.

Even setting Incineroar or Arcanine aside, Infernape unfortunately won't stand a chance in Gen 7 Doubles anyway since the metagame has become bulkier than before.
