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. Its former hair crest has presumably formed into the flame on its head. 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.
