>Inb4 you can't

You can't. Play some lower tier.
you can't.
>>31697339
you can't
>>31697339
Sneaky pebbles setter with a sash and priority can be a good suicide lead.
Go mixed. Close Combat/Fire Blast/HP Ice and whatever filler move.
Stealth Rock/Endeavor/Filler/Filler
ok

This. I used to run this set on ORAS:
Infernape @ Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze / Iron Fist
Level: 50
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Mach Punch
- Stealth Rock
- Endeavor
- Overheat
However, you can't get Sneaky Pebbles, Endeavor or Vacuum Wave in S&Munless you just inject lol, which is why I was using Mach Punch. I also like this one:
Infernape @ Choice Band
Ability: Blaze / Iron Fist
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Flare Blitz
- Earthquake / Thunder Punch / Mach Punch
- Close Combat
Use Blaze if you're not running Mach/Thunder Punch.

rocks/flare blitz/fake out/filler
its not gonna be good though
Z-Encore might be useful, but with just 108 speed i don't think it'd help much just going up one stage of speed, even if you lock your opponant into the last move they used.
Blaziken is better anyway with Speed Boost and Z-Mirror Move.

blaziken is banned from OU anon

I really like z-mirror move. I really, really do. I want an adamant speed booster to properly take advantage of it, but the only speed booster I have is a male with a neutral nature, so I can't pass it down.
How do you think a mixed set would stack up? Worth the z-mirror move still, or another, more reliable coverage move?

>the only speed booster I have is a male with a neutral nature, so I can't pass it down.
what? just breed with a ditto until you get a female
>>31697570
But it won't pass down the ability.
>>31697585
I think...
>>31697585
>>31697596
yes. Males pass down the HA when breeding with dittos
>>31697604
I'll have to try this again. Will post results.
>>31697636
There it is.
>>31697604
thanks

Well, I guess you COULD use it as a niche priority puncher with iron fist, fire punch, thunder punch and some filler move but that's about all I could come up with.
Sorry if that sounds verlis tier levels of stupid. I'm just kinda spitballing here as I've never used a competitive Infernape myself.
