    Best Nature for Infernape Explained

    Infernape benefits most from the Adamant Nature. The increase in Attack allows Infernape to better utilize its physical offense. Since most of its attacks are physical, it won't mind the drop in Special Attack.

    How to Change Natures

    Speed is not as big of a factor

    While a speed increasing nature is often considered for battles in mainline Pokemon games, it doesn't play as big of a factor in Legends: Arceus due to every Pokemon's access to the Agile and Strong Styles. Make up for lower speed by planning around your turn order.

    Best Moves for Infernape Explained

    As a fast Pokemon, Infernape can benefit greatly from starting a battle with an Agile Style Bulk Up. This will further strengthen its Flare Blitz and Close Combat, its the best STAB moves. Stone Edge offers good coverage by allowing it to hit Flying-types in a pinch.

    This moveset also proves useful against the most difficult battles in the game. The Fire/Fighting type combination should do quick work of Volo's Arcanine, Lucario, and Roserade. In a pinch, you can even land a strong Stone Edge against Volo's Togekiss.
