*Torment: Infernape torments and enrages the target, making it incapable of using the same move twice in a row.

*Mach Punch: Infernape throws a punch at blinding speed. This move always goes first.
*Flare Blitz: Infernape's body becomes surrounded by red-orange fire and it shoots at the opponent like a missile, slamming into it with great force. When the attack is over, red sparks surround Infernape's body as it takes recoil damage. It has a chance to burn.
