Infernape (Japanese: ゴウカザル Goukazaru) is a dual-type Fire/Fighting Pokémon.

It evolves from Monferno starting at level 36. It is the final form of Chimchar.

Biology

Physiology

Its body is a primarily a brownish-red color, with sections of white fur on its chest, head and legs, and a large flame burning on its head that never goes out. The tail flame it had as a Monferno has disappeared. Infernape wears two gold chest rings in place of a chest plate. It also has swirl-patterned, gold shoulder pads, knee pads, and wrist bands. The blue and red markings it had on its forehead as a Monferno have now changed to a deep blood-red color. Infernape’s scleras are yellow, and its irises are blue. Its hands, toes, and inner ears are also blue. Unlike Chimchar and Monferno, Infernape's head flame never goes out.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Infernape uses a special kind of martial arts that utilizes all four of its limbs. Being the final evolution of its kind, Infernape can learn Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, and Blast Burn.

Behavior

Infernape is said to have a fiery nature, and is most competitive when it comes to speed. Being powerful fighters, Infernape test their fighting abilities against each other. An Infernape's fighting spirit is determined by the size of the flame on its head. Infernape uses its hands and feet to pull off special combat moves.

Trivia

  • Infernape is the only final form Sinnoh starter Pokémon not to have a unique type combination. Its type combination is shared with Blaziken.
    • It is also the only final form of a Sinnoh starter not to be immune to Sandstorm.
    • However, while Torterra and Empoleon lose some of their resistances (to Water and Fire, respectively), Infernape actually loses a weakness (Rock).
  • Infernape has the second-highest Speed of the starters (Sceptile ranks first).
  • Although its Pokédex entry says that "this Pokémon is beaten by none in terms of quickness" its base Speed is the 34th highest of all Pokémon.
  • Infernape shares the same species name as Charmeleon, Charizard, Flareon, and Moltres. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
  • Infernape is the first fully evolved form of a starter Pokémon to be used by a member of any Elite Four, not counting the Champion.
  • Infernape is both the fastest Fire-type and the fastest Fighting-type Pokémon, with a base speed of 108.
  • It is the shortest fully evolved main series starter Pokémon to date, being only three feet and eleven inches tall.
  • Infernape is the only final form Sinnoh starter Pokémon not to have an immunity, as Empoleon is immune to Poison attacks and Torterra is immune to Electric attacks.
  • Infernape was the last fully-evolved Sinnoh starter Pokémon to be introduced in the anime.
  • Infernape is the only Pokémon in Generation IV whose name starts with the letter I.

Origin

Infernape is based on a monkey. The gold elements in his design as well as his Japanese name are most likely linked to Son Goku, the Japanese interpretation of the character Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong is the main character in the Chinese epic Journey to the West and is a monkey with powerful abilities. It is also similar to the Vanara, a race of ape-like humanoids in the Hindu epic Ramayana. It is most likely based off the martial art Muay Thai which uses all the limbs and possibly Monkey Kung Fu, another type of martial arts. It may have also be loosely based on Crazy Monkey Defense, a boxing style that incorporated elements from other martial arts such as Muay Thai.

Name origin

Goukazaru is a combination of 業火 gōka, hellfire or inferno, and 猿 saru, ape. Infernape is a combination of inferno and ape.

In other languages

  • German: Panferno - From Schimpanse (chimpanzee) and inferno.
  • French: Simiabraz - From simian and braise (ember).
  • Korean: 초염몽 Choyeommong'
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 烈焰猴 Liè Yàn Hóu - "Raging flame monkey".
