It was revealed in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'' that Infernape battled by Flint's side since he was a child, when it was a Chimchar. At the time, {{ci|Sunyshore}} had a notorious reputation of being full of hoodlums. Having battles day after day, Flint and Chimchar were soon known as the strongest Trainers in all of Sunyshore. When Flint first met [[Volkner]], Chimchar had just taken on two Trainers who sent out {{p|Stunky}} and {{p|Jolteon}}, defeating them with a single {{m|Flamethrower}}. Flint then went on ahead to have a battle with Volkner's {{p|Pikachu}}, which he won. Soon, Volkner challenged them again, which he won, causing a rivalry between the two.

Later, the two were shown wondering in a forest at night, during a rain. Encountering a rogue [[Pokémon poacher]] and his {{p|Houndoom}}, the two were forced to battle side-by-side with each other for the first time. With Chimchar and Flint getting knocked down by Houndoom's Flamethrower, Volkner is left to continue on his own. Finishing up with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, the poacher is finally chased away. He is later revealed to be the [[Proprietor]], a good friend of both in the present day. Exhausted from the battle, the gang was shown lying on the ground, becoming friends since that day. Having had numerous battles with Volkner day after day, Flint finally decided to leave the city on his journey to becoming stronger.

In ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', Flint recalled battling in the finals of the [[Sinnoh League]]. Being about Ash's age, he was the clear underdog, going up against {{p|Snorlax}} with his {{p|Monferno}}. Beginning with {{m|Flamethrower}}, Snorlax was able to simply blow the flames away. Monferno then followed up with a {{m|Mach Punch}}, with Snorlax's belly easily absorbing the impact. Snorlax then used {{m|Body Slam}} for a successful hit. Against all odds, Flint ended up winning the Sinnoh League and later became a member of the {{DL|Elite Four|Sinnoh Elite Four}}, with Monferno evolving to {{p|Infernape}}.

Infernape debuted in ''Flint Sparks the Fire!'', where it saved Ash from Volkner's Gym's arm machines that had grabbed him as he refused to take a free Badge, which Volkner was now giving away due to loss of passion. Fruitlessly trying to convince him to have the battle, the decision was made for Flint to battle Ash in his place, which Volkner agreed to watch. Taking on {{AP|Buizel}} as its first opponent, Buizel started out with {{m|Water Gun}}, which Infernape dodged with a high jump. With Infernape still in the air, Ash ordered Buizel to use {{m|Ice Punch}}, which it easily blocked, having its hands frozen in the process. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Buizel then unleashed {{m|Sonic Boom}}, only to have his hands freed. As its fourth move, Buizel went out charging with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, countered by Infernape's {{m|Flare Blitz}}, which knocked Buizel out of the match. Infernape's next opponent was none other than {{AP|Infernape}}. Ash's Infernape started off with a {{m|Flame Wheel}}, which Flint's evaded. It then used a series of {{m|Mach Punch}}es, all of which were dodged. Despite a vigorous attempt, Ash's Infernape proved no match either, as it was knocked out by an exceedingly powerful Mach Punch, earning Flint's Infernape two wins in a row. As its last opponent it faced {{AP|Pikachu}}. Unlike the last two, it held on well. During the battle, it sparked the flashback of Volkner battling side-by-side with Flint in the woods. After a long battle, Pikachu went charging with Volt Tackle, clashed by Infernape's {{m|Thunder Punch}}. As Pikachu was finally unable to continue, Flint was awarded the win of the match.

Flint's Infernape (Japanese: オーバのゴウカザル Ōba's Goukazaru) is the only known Pokémon owned by Flint in the anime. It is also one of the Pokémon he uses in the games, being his main one in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Main series

History

Pre-series

It was revealed in Flint Sparks the Fire! that Infernape battled by Flint's side since he was a child, when it was a Chimchar. At the time, Sunyshore had a notorious reputation of being full of hoodlums. Having battles day after day, Flint and Chimchar were soon known as the strongest Trainers in all of Sunyshore. When Flint first met Volkner, Chimchar had just taken on two Trainers who sent out Stunky and Jolteon, defeating them with a single Flamethrower. Flint then went on ahead to have a battle with Volkner's Pikachu, which he won. Soon, Volkner challenged them again, which he won, causing a rivalry between the two.

Later, the two were shown wondering in a forest at night, during a rain. Encountering a rogue Pokémon poacher and his Houndoom, the two were forced to battle side-by-side with each other for the first time. With Chimchar and Flint getting knocked down by Houndoom's Flamethrower, Volkner is left to continue on his own. Finishing up with Volt Tackle, the poacher is finally chased away. He is later revealed to be the Proprietor, a good friend of both in the present day. Exhausted from the battle, the gang was shown lying on the ground, becoming friends since that day. Having had numerous battles with Volkner day after day, Flint finally decided to leave the city on his journey to becoming stronger.

In Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!, Flint recalled battling in the finals of the Sinnoh League. Being about Ash's age, he was the clear underdog, going up against Snorlax with his Monferno. Beginning with Flamethrower, Snorlax was able to simply blow the flames away. Monferno then followed up with a Mach Punch, with Snorlax's belly easily absorbing the impact. Snorlax then used Body Slam for a successful hit. Against all odds, Flint ended up winning the Sinnoh League and later became a member of the Sinnoh Elite Four, with Monferno evolving to Infernape.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl
Infernape battling Ash's Pikachu

Infernape debuted in Flint Sparks the Fire!, where it saved Ash from Volkner's Gym's arm machines that had grabbed him as he refused to take a free Badge, which Volkner was now giving away due to loss of passion. Fruitlessly trying to convince him to have the battle, the decision was made for Flint to battle Ash in his place, which Volkner agreed to watch. Taking on Buizel as its first opponent, Buizel started out with Water Gun, which Infernape dodged with a high jump. With Infernape still in the air, Ash ordered Buizel to use Ice Punch, which it easily blocked, having its hands frozen in the process. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Buizel then unleashed Sonic Boom, only to have his hands freed. As its fourth move, Buizel went out charging with Aqua Jet, countered by Infernape's Flare Blitz, which knocked Buizel out of the match. Infernape's next opponent was none other than Infernape. Ash's Infernape started off with a Flame Wheel, which Flint's evaded. It then used a series of Mach Punches, all of which were dodged. Despite a vigorous attempt, Ash's Infernape proved no match either, as it was knocked out by an exceedingly powerful Mach Punch, earning Flint's Infernape two wins in a row. As its last opponent it faced Pikachu. Unlike the last two, it held on well. During the battle, it sparked the flashback of Volkner battling side-by-side with Flint in the woods. After a long battle, Pikachu went charging with Volt Tackle, clashed by Infernape's Thunder Punch. As Pikachu was finally unable to continue, Flint was awarded the win of the match.

Infernape and Flint

In Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!, Infernape came to the rescue when Team Rocket robbed Kenny's Floatzel. Infernape stopped them by using Overheat and sent them blasting off. Afterwards, it had a battle with Jasmine's Steelix, which Infernape again won with a single Flare Blitz.

Infernape briefly appeared alongside Flint during the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

In Memories are Made of Bliss!, Flint finally challenged Cynthia for the title of Pokémon Champion. Defeating two of her Pokémon, Infernape finally went up against Cynthia's Garchomp. After a fierce battle, Flint ordered Infernape to finish the battle with Flare Blitz, countered by Garchomp's Dragon Rush. With Infernape unable to stand, it was finally eliminated from the match.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

In Meeting Up with the Monarch!, Infernape was used to battle Charizard in Flint's World Coronation Series match against Leon, only to be defeated. This caused Flint's rank to drop from 7 to 8.

In The Fiery Road to Mastership!, Infernape was shown watching Cynthia's Masters Eight Tournament match against Iris alongside its Trainer.

Personality and characteristics

Infernape is considered to be a very well-trained and powerful Pokémon. This strength was first shown when it was still a Chimchar in Flint's youth, where it took out a Stunky and Jolteon singlehandedly. The same also applies to Flint's battle with Ash when it easily took out his Buizel and Infernape and then defeated his Pikachu in a slightly more contested fight. Infernape is also highly persistent, fighting to the very end with Garchomp in Flint's battle with Cynthia even after having been previously weakened from defeating two of her other Pokémon.
