 Unlimited - Well it can OHKO Vileplume ex, that's if you 
					even get it into play. 1/5
 
 Modified - Not as good as it used to be. Gallade, Magmortar 
					and Absol decks beat it pretty bad. But doing 80 damage for 
					2 energy is great. 3/5
 
 Limited - Hard to get a stage 2 out in this format, but if 
					you do you can do big damage quickly. 3/5

							GOOD MORNING VIETN… Um… EARTH!!! If you got that 
							joke then good job. Today’s COTD is the start of 
							the… TOP 10 POKEMON CARDS OF 2007!!! And today’s 
							card coming in 10th place is the one and 
							only “King of flaming fungus” Infernape! I’d tried 
							to get an interview with the guy but alas, he didn’t 
							say much… Anyway, 100 HP is nice, little sub-par 
							compared to today’s larger 130 HP beasts but not as 
							bad as 90 (Obviously.) The first attack is almost 
							useless other than being cheap, 50% chance just to 
							do 30 is good for 1 (C) energy. Next, is the “Mad 
							incinerator’s” most lethal and deadly attack while 
							un-leveled up, Flare blitz. No offence but the 
							attack's name sounds kind of like a football plan… 
							You know, *Football dude walks into the huddle* 
							Alright, now we're going to do Flare Blitz! Lol, 
							anyway, 90 for 2 (fire) rocks! The discard is little 
							to worry about since the “Awesome Inferno” has no 
							retreat cost! Yea, none... Not even Ninetales the 
							foxy fox has 0 retreat cost… So why give 0 retreat 
							cost to a dang monkey? He’s not even very fast in 
							the Video Games… 
							
							  
							
							Pros – 
							
							Free retreat cost (Stupid monkey…) 
							
							90 damage for 2 (fire) 
							
							Cheap attacks 
							
							  
							
							Cons – 
							
							Coin flips are evil 
							
							100 HP isn’t great for a stage 2… 
							
							  
							
							Unlimited - Stage 2’s here? Nope. 1/5 
							
							  
							
							Modified – With speed and power who need defense? 
							4.5/5 
							
							  
							
							Limited – even if you can only use the first attack 
							it is still good. 4.5/5 
							
							  
							
							Next time! Day of the living dea… Pokemon, 
							
							  
							
							“In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let 
							there be light!' And there was light. There was 
							still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot 
							better.” |

						This card have both good and bad points. 
						Its very fast and hard hitting but being a stage 2 with 
						only 100HP leaves it fragile. 
						
						Damaging 90 makes Plus powers and 
						strength charm a necessity. To many pokes have 100 or 
						110 to be ignored 
						
						Infarnape may not be the best deck but 
						its still a strong choice

 | Infernape 
 There's a lot of ways to do 90 damage now and many have 
						prevolutions and attack costs much preferable to 
						Infernape. The problem with doing 90 is that it isn't a 
						particularly helpful amount, even less so if double 
						rainbow is used to get around the discard and reduce 
						damage to 80. A combination of Monerno's fire dance and 
						Infernape's flare blitz falls short of KOing any of the 
						many popular 130HP pokemon. Infernape isn't prospering 
						in tournaments right now for a reason. Magmortar is a 
						lower stage with better general stats so use that.

              | Arbok14 | Name: Infernape Set: Diamond and Pearl (Base Set)
 Rarity: Rare Holo
 
 Overview: Infernape is a stage 2 Pokemon, which evolves 
						from its stage 1 Monferno, which evolves from its basic, 
						Chimchar. Infernape has 100 HP, +30 Weakness to water, 
						no Resistance, and a Retreat cost of 0. Its first 
						attack, 'Meteor Punch,' has an energy cost of (C) and 
						has you flip a coin until you get tails, doing 30 damage 
						times the number of heads. Its second attack, 'Flare 
						Blitz,' costs (RR), does 90 damage, and has you discard 
						all (R) enerrgy attached to Infernape.
 
 Analysis: 100 HP is not very good for a stage 2 
						nowadays, but its quickness helps that not be as much of 
						a factor. Both attacks are good, but Flare Blitz makes 
						it shine. If you can get Infernape turn 2, you will be 
						in good shape. Even with only a Double Rainbow Energy, 
						he can do 80 damage. And its Level X made it even more 
						lethal, tag-teaming with the Delcatty's to become a 
						150-damage-a-turn engine. Believe me, I experienced it 
						and it was painful... Unfortunately for Inferape, 
						however, Empoleon became popular as a result of its huge 
						popularity, in an effort to counter Infernape's 
						domination. So with that, along with the cards from 
						newer sets, Infernape vanished almost as fast as it 
						rised to glory.
