Infernape (#392) is a Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon from the Sinnoh region (Generation 4) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 3,070 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Infernape is a strong competitor in various formats. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Infernape in 2026.
Infernape's Attack stat is 222 (Excellent). This is a competitive Attack stat that makes Infernape a strong damage dealer.
With 151 Defense (Good) and 183 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 556. This gives Infernape reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Fire-type Pokémon, Infernape's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Infernape depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Fire Spin (Fast) with Solar Beam (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Infernape has 2 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from. Note that Infernape has Elite TM moves that may outperform standard options in certain formats.
In Great League, Infernape can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Fire/Fighting typing provides useful matchups against Bug, Fire, Grass-type threats while being weak to Water, Ground, Flying types.
In Master League, Infernape faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
Infernape appears as a high-tier Raid Boss. Focus on Water, Ground, Flying-type counters for maximum damage. With strong counters, 2-3 trainers can defeat it. After the raid, catch Infernape at Level 20 (1,459 - 1,533 CP) or Level 25 with weather boost (1,824 - 1,916 CP). A 100% IV (hundo) will have exactly 1,533 CP.
Infernape can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Sunny/Clear weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Infernape is part of a 3-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
