>>25056536>comparing infernape to blazikenThat's like comparing Salamence to Haxorus.
>Infernape has:- insant power
- better mixed versatility
- muh mentun
- 4 viable priorities
- 2 recovery forms
- 5 ways to boost
- instant speed and good base speed for choiced sets
- can be used from the beginning of the game until the end
- has 2 abilities to benefit from
- less predictability
- better coverage
- taunt
- smogon pebbles
- frail
- grass knot
- gunk shot
- rekt by bravest bird
Blaziken and M-Blaziken have:
- outdated reversal
- one slot for predictable protect or the need to risk it with substitute
- can baton pass boosts
- requires specific evsing to deal with common switch ins and eventual hp ice
- has to pick between two risky fighting moves that are variable in power low kick and coin flip kick
- flare blitz sips hp as much as the risky hjk, fire blast can be an option sometimes
- frail
- no recovery
- debatable coverage
- can be outspeed but common scarfed mons or bulky dragons / grounds / water and risking thunder wave or phazing forced to restart the set up with less hp
- sd sweep can be handled with aqua jet or situationally with sash
- knock off
- knock off / shadow claw / stone edge to pick from to deal with either ghosts or bulky psychic or bulky part flying mons
- is usually a late game cleaner or situational lead passer
- rarely a revenge killer because has to play the 50/50 with either protect or opp switching into a check / counter diring that turn since its base speed is mediocre
- pretty ugly tbqh impo but that's an opinion
- rekt by bravest bird
They are very different despite sharing he same type.
