While very potent, offensive teams fall short in everything they’re able to cover. Starmie obliterates offense especially with sand and spikes, gengar neuters everything, and skarmory and blissey are so prevalent that they need dedicated trappers like magneton and dugtrio to consistently remove them. A lot needs to go right for offense to work, meanwhile TSS has been a very solidified and powerful structure for a very long time.

Diamond was my first Pokemon game, and I was really young when it came out so I never played competitively. But I remember basically spamming my way through most of the game once my Chimchar evolved into Infernape, because close combat was almost a guaranteed one-shot move. I only struggled a couple times in that game, but generally demolished without needing any sort of strategy or switching Pokemon. Good memories

Eh, Infernape is better in BDSP than in modern DPP. It's really hard to switch into CB Ape (especially with that powerful U-turn to deter Latias and Starmie), and there's generally less passive damage flying around to limit Ape; there is no permanent sand, it's easier to remove hazards with great hazard control options in Gliscor, Scizor, Latias, and Starmie, and the fact that most Infernape runs Band means it won't get worn down by its own recoil. Granted, Infernape doesn't switch in well to much, but when it's in, it has the capability of putting some good damage.

Punching Gloves would be interesting on Infernape as it gets Iron Fist. It’d remove contact from punching moves (so Nidoqueen wouldn’t be able to poison to for instance or no rocky helmet damage) and it gets a bunch of punching moves. It’d make thunder punch just short of 100 damage. Not sure whether it’d be 97.5 (75x1.3) or 99 ((75x1.2)x1.1) but close enough in terms of damage. Stab fire punch being kinda’ nutty also at near 150 damage (less than blitz but still hefty) It’s pretty fast at 108 speed and gets SD.

Start ape and have good mons to back it. It has amazing potential being relatively quick and with the hidden ability where it’s punch based moves do more damage (I think it’s moves that punch so would cc count there or no.) but having a defog in duos a glimmora to clear hazards and even starting ape gives an edge since most legendaries I don’t think will be legal when home drops but ape might as well be meaning less threats, remember, you can’t lose if everything they have is dead

I always thought it was strange that a pokemon with 104 offensives was considered a powerful wallbreaker, plus its 108 speed isnt that much faster than most pokemon. I guess its lack of power finally did it in in DPP.

It basically fits the same niche as Greninja, good attack and special attack and good speed with excellent coverage, the main difference is that Greninja is decently faster and hits harder with coverage due to Protean and it’s base typing and movepool allowed to be relevant in the power crept later gens while Inferno was eventually outclassed completely

tank is blissey, a pokemon that's just made to survive whatever is thrown at it while whittling down opponents with hazards or status ect. wall breaker is pretty much as it says. infernape is a wall breaker to blissey because blissey is weaker on the physical defense side. and tank is a mon that can both take powerful hits while dealing powerful hits, this one is a bit more vague depending on the team a lot of mons can fill this role. think dragonite. tanks usually have very well rounded stats with maybe a single bad stat to make up for it like speed

I feel like if Blaziken had 100 base speed from the start it would’ve probably been top tier since it COULD beat nidoqueen and Maria’s with coverage like earthquake and shadow claw/night slash. Gen three would’ve been hilarious for a 100 base speed Blaziken tho 😂

this is proof that even if u give a pokemon good stats movepool ability and typing it can still not be as good with other contenders/walls. but tera type ghost or Fire Fighting Ice Electric will make it a good versatile wallbreaker again with good punching moves and iron fist itll be hard to predict what tera it is.
