Is Power-Up-Punch on Iron Fist Infernape a viable strategy?

Sep. 28, 2014

Power-Up-Punch on an Iron Fist Infernape. 90 BP + +1 Attack seems pretty tempting.Also include pros, cons, better moves and what would fit in.

So, would it work?

Iron Fist - The power of punching moves is increased by 20%.

In the first Power-Up-Punch = 40 Base Power x 1.2 = 48 BPIn the second attack it will be 48 x 1,5 x 20% = aproximatted 80-90 BP

If you see, Close Combat is better, giving a 120 BP. Also Infernape doesn’t have much defense and have much weakness like ground, water.. that are very common in competitive.I suggest you to use Power-Up-Punch in a Mega Kangaskhan because hit twice, doubling the attack boost and Close Combat in Infernape.Also you have a priority Mach Punch on Infernape.

It seems like an ok strategy, but here are some flaws>Topsy TurvyShadow Tag Mega GengarRoar, Dragon Tail etcThose were the only ones I could think ofHope I helped
