If your Infernape lacks Speed, go with Mach Punch.
But if your Infernape has enough Speed and lacks Power, go with Close Combat
The better option overall is Close Combat for Mixed Apes or Physical Apes. The only way you’ll get to abuse Mach Punch is if you get its DW Ability, Iron Fist to get boosted damage on it.
If you need more power than go with close combat. Mach punch is for priority if you need to outspeed the opponent. You can have both since both are useful.
It depends. Mach Punch isn’t good for power, but it has more pp than Close Combat. And Close Combat has 5 pp. But they’re both really good moves. So go with your gut on this one.
i would definitely go with close combat
