Does anyone know if Inferno Overdrive (using Flame Charge) keeps the Speed Boost?

Nov. 27, 2016

I’m thinking of a physical Incineroar with Flame Charge for the STAB Fire & Speed Boost.

I’ve read that the Fire Z-Move using Flame Charge turns into Inferno Overdrive for a decent damage boost, but cannot confirm whether it keeps the Speed Boost, increases the Speed Boost or looses it entirely.

(I don’t yet have my copy of the game - UK based and Amazon Pre-Order has proven less than ideal)

Secondary effects of base moves are completely negated when turning into a Z move, therefore Inferno overdrive will only use the base power of Flame Charge to base itself off of, nothing else.

So no, you won’t get a speed boost when using inferno overdrive even if it’s basing from flame charge.
