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 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 art that utilizes all four of its limbs. It can also use unique fighting moves with fire on its hands and feet. Having fully evolved, 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.
Habitat
Infernape are very rare and only make their nests in cliffsides and rocky mountains.

Trivia
- Infernape is the only fully evolved Sinnoh starter Pokémon to not have a unique type combination. Its type combination is shared with Blaziken and Emboar.
- It is also the only fully evolved Sinnoh starter Pokémon not to be immune to Sandstorm.
- However, while Torterra and Empoleon lose some of their resistances to Water and Fire respectively (and the first to Grass as well), Infernape actually loses a weakness to Rock.
- Infernape is the only final form Sinnoh starter Pokémon not to have an immunity, since Empoleon is immune to Poison-type attacks and Torterra is immune to Electric-type attacks.
- Infernape shares the same species name as Charmeleon, Charizard, Flareon, and Moltres. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
- Infernape is the first form of a starter Pokémon to be used by a member of any Elite Four, without counting the Champion.
- Infernape is the fastest Fire-type Pokémon with a base speed of 108.
- It also has the highest base stat total of all non legendary Fighting-type Pokémon, with 534.
- It is the shortest fully evolved main series starter Pokémon to date, being only three feet and eleven inches (1.2m) tall.
- Infernape is the only Pokémon introduced in Generation IV whose name starts with the letter I.
Origin
Infernape is based on a monkey. The gold elements in its design as well as its 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
Infernape is a combination of inferno and ape
Goukazaru is a combination of 業火 gōka (hellfire or inferno) and 猿 saru (monkey).
