 * Torment: Infernape makes the opponent incapable of using the same move twice in a row.


 * Close Combat: Infernape attacks the opponent with no regards to its defense, doing extreme damage, but has the downside of lowering defenses.


 * Mach Punch: Infernape punches the opponent at the speed of sound. It almost always has priority.

 * Leer: Infernape glares at the opponent menacingly, lowering its defense.

 * Feint: Infernape does an attack that bypasses force fields (Protect and its offshoots) and precognition (Detect)


 * Punishment: Infername uses a darkness based move that does more damage the more the opponent buffs itself.


 * Fire Spin: Infernape traps the opponent in a vortex of flames.
