Team pitfalls when building around Infernape

  • Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to water, ground, and flying.
  • Rock coverage and entry-hazard pressure can make this Pokemon harder to use without support.
  • Sweepers usually need defensive pivots or status support so they can enter safely.
