Pokemon Competitive Singles in Gen 4 has a long history. In the early days, Infernape was not only considered the best of the Gen 4 Starter Pokemon in Competitive, but one of the best Offensive threats in the format.
However, due to metagame Shifts over the years and the addition of one particular new Pokemon, Infernape has been dethroned by the more consistently powerful Water starter, Empoleon.

Some will never figure out how to get Empoleon in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Empoleon Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Empoleon Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on RU-vid. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

Bug is one of the most unfortunate types in the world of competitive Pokemon. In the early generations bug types were very limited defensively and had extrealy scarce offensive options. With the introduction of stealth rocks to the game, with punished all rock weak pokemons including bug, they suffer even more. Viable competitive bug types tend to be a rarity, but they do exist, sometimes bug types can overcome all of these roadblocks if they have enough advantages in other areas or if they are blessed with powerful complementary types. Let's take a look at all the relevant bug types in competitive singles for every single generation and how this type has evolved and adapted to it's enviorment throughout the years.

@aldrichunfaithful3589
@aldrichunfaithful3589 2 месяца назад
it could also just get a new ability. adaptability makes thematic sense, and at first glance it seems like it would be reasonable. one of infernape's greatest weaknesses is how its neutral stab hits aren't powerful enough without doing half your health with recoil and life orb, adaptability would fix that without eliminating counterplay since it wouldn't have brainless ways to nuke "resistances" like gen 9 mons lol

Infernape has provided us vital infomation of the capabilties of Iron Mugulis we now know it has access to Endavour, Quick Attack, it's signature move Half-Full and coverage in Scald. To think Iron Mugulis has acccess to such an effective coverage move to prevent ground types from walling it. If he had access to Scald this entire team he could have 1 shot great tusk with a scald but instead he chose to toy with us by using F.E.A.R stratagies. Iron Mugulis is truly a sadistic mug.

@@enderluckjarmg985 Being weak to Fire Bug, Flying and (4x) Ice (all common attacks aside from Bug, though even Bug has some good attacks this gen), immune to Electric and only resisting Ground and Rock (uncommon attacks) is bad enough, but Torterra's defensive and speed stats (105, 85 & 56 respectively) are worse than Empoleon's (88, 101 & 60 respectively). Not to mention that while decently physically bulky it's specially frail, so Fire & Ice attacks shred through it easily. While it does have Synthesis, Giga Drain and Leech Seed and tools like Rock Polish, Earthquake, Seed Bomb, Frenzy Plant and Wood Hammer, that's small comfort when it's outsped & oneshot by most common special attackers. I do like Torterra (it was my first starter) but sadly its flaws unfortunately hold it back from be OU viable.

Gen 4 was the first time I decided to pick a grass starter. With my Turtwig, I make it to the first gym where he just learned razor leaf. "Alright!" I thought, a better grass move to attack rock types. I then fight a geodude and the move missed. I tried again. It missed again. I try a third time. It missed AGAIN. This 95% accurate move missed three times in a row. I was furious. My first experience using a grass type starter there immediately ended. I restarted the game and chose Chimchar and immediately loved it.

It's also great that they finally gave both Infernape and Empoleon healing moves in Gen 9. Infernape with Drain Punch and Empoleon with Roost. Empoleon with Roost is a big one. I also want to mention Torterra getting Shell Smash and Headlong Rush is a huge win depending on how you look at it. Let's not forget when playing through the game casually, Torterra is awesome. Free Earthquake when it evolves for Grotle.

Hi Jimmy - Thanks for featuring clips from my tournament games throughout the video. While Empoleon provides a lot more defensive utility and is probably considered slightly better in terms of viability, Infernape's coverage and speed has to be considered on every DPP team. One of the reasons why Latias is so good is because it's one of the most consistent checks to Infernape resisting both Fire/Fighting STAB. My favorite Infernape which I ran twice in SPL runs Naughty nature with Mach Punch and Stone Edge for coverage to hit Zapdos and Gyarados.

It never seemed broken because it had subpar physical stats and bad speed that wouldn't be beneficial in trick room, and the mid physical stats are readily apparent when its 3 only weaknesses are super common offensive and coverage types with only two of the 3 being most associated with physical attacks.

It has been said that Torterra is not great, but the Past Paradox form of Torterra, Great Trunk, has recently been seen snooping around Gen 8 OU.

I think infernape would have been better as a dedicated physical attacker, the combination of fire and fighting type just screams that it wants to be physical (fighting obviously being a primarily physical attacking type, and fire not being able to be burned is amazing for physical attackers), along with both flare blitz and close combat being amazing stab physical moves, if you made it relly fast and hit really hard on the physical side it would probably be op, and i mean look at it, aesthecially it just looks like a really fast hard hitting pokemon.

Always bothered me that with Earthquake (Torterra) or Close Combat (Infernape) Empoleon can’t check any of the starters in Gen 4 reliably

With the powers of TMs, Empoleon can definitely freeze Torterra with a good Ice Beam. Idk about Infernape though, I guess if it lives the Close Combat somehow then Surf or Hydro Pump could potentially drown it.
