Infernape

[Nato potato]

My Infernape/Quiet amulet coin (just gettng money)
focus blast attack 210
fire blast defense 158
solar beam sp.atk 235
shadow claw sp.def 137
speed 195
i think shadow claw sucks but i can't find a better bug/ghost/dark move that infernape can learn, i want to be able to kick psychic pokemon's asses.

what do you think i should do?
do you know a better move than shadow claw?

Uh, this is a pretty bad Infernape. I'd say give it Swords Dance (yay TMs) to to boost the slightly lower attack and just use physical moves, keeping Shadow Claw.

it's stats have gone higher than that now but about the moves i was trying to defend his weaknesses. cuz his sp.atk is the highest i try to use sp attacks
focus blast / solar beam / fire blast / they're all special.
what does quiet nature mean?

why is he bad?
how is he bad, like stats or something?

[Chris!]

it's not that bad, but Focus Blast is inaccurate when Close Combat will usually end up doing about the same damage. Solarbeam has that nasty charge up turn, which is only okay in-game. Fire Blast and Flare Blitz are a lot like CC and Focus Blast, except for Skarmory Flare Blitz does more.

quiet is something like +spdef - spd i think... I'm not sure, I'm too sleepy.

This is a very good special Infernape

Focus Blast/HP Ice
Grass Knot
Nasty Plot/HP Ice

That is a really bad nature by the way.

Quiet reduces speed and increases sp att.

Infernapes best stat is speed
