Pokemon Go Infernape best PvP moveset
The best moveset for Infernape in Pokemon Go’s PvP content is Fire Spin as a Fast Move and Blast Burn as a Charged Move.
Even though both benefit from STAB, Fire Spin is a better option than Rock Smash because of its higher energy gains, which will allow the player to reach the Charged Move faster.
Blast Burn is a Legacy Move players can only obtain by capturing a Chimchar during its Community Day. This Charged Move is more powerful than Flamethrower, but if you don’t have it, it’s acceptable to with the latter.
You can replace Blast Burn with Close Combat if you wish to have more coverage, but remember it has a self-debuff that could harm you.
THE POKEMON COMPANYPokemon Go Infernape best Raid moveset
The best moveset for Infernape during Raids is also Fire Spin as a Fast Move and Blast Burn as a Charged Move, with 15.91 damage per second and 362.8 damage before the Pokemon faints.
Again, between both options, Fire Spin is still better than Rock Smash from both offensive and defensive perspectives, though it offers a little bit more coverage.
As a Charged Move, Blast Burns can be spammed more often than other of the options available, so it ends up being the smarter choice.
