Infernape is more a physical sweeper, used to sweep teams with strong STABs such as Close Combat, Flare Blitz and a priority Mach Punch.Infernape has the ability Iron Fist that power up all punch moves, great ability for him with a STAB Mach Punch for revenge kill.

Scrafty is used to Wall and resist some pokémons. It has decent Defence and Special Defense, knowing Rest and having great abilities to decrease attack such as Intimidate or to increase attack such as Moxie. Shed Skin is a great ability to but I don’t like it, you can use it to prevent status-problems. Dragon Dance or Bulk Up are needed for is set. Has great moves such as Head Smash (recoil hurts), Drain Punch, Hi Jump Kick, Crunch.

Both are physicals while Infernape is weak to water, ground, flying and psychic and Scrafty weak to fight, flying and fairy.In your team, Infernape’s weakness are covered by Greninja/Blastoise, Rhyperior, Aegislash.Scrafty’s weakness are covered by Aegislash and Rhyperior.

Infernape is a perfect set. Jolly and Life Orb great combo with Iron Fist and some punch moves.

Scrafty if you want it to be a physical dragon-dance sweeper, go with Life Orb and had Drain Punch over Hi-Jump-Kick, if you want to remain your set, Life Orb is a great item for use.If you want it to resist some attacks, then use Intimidate ability + Dragon Dance with Drain Punch and Rest, having 252 Sp.Def / 128 Def / 128 HP. You can add Toxic for beeing more annoying.

If you want a special sweeper, go with Infernape. As alot of speed and attack.Like I said, Scrafty hasn’t the best Attack but has great Defense and Sp.Defense.

Hope this helps.

Overall, Scrafty and Infernape are very different. Scrafty performs wall, or setup sweeper whereas, Infernape is a lead usually mixed.Most Infernapes, are physical, but some are mixed and setup stealth rocks.Scrafty, on the other hand, usually run dragon dance and 3 attacking moves.

Immunity to Will O wisp

In UU, Forretress is common so Infernape can completely shut it down.

It has the ability iron fist and thunder punch and fire punch.

Brilliant offensive typing in fire/fighting.

Frail as paper.

He doesn’t have the best offensive stats and nasty plot his is only boosting move so either way he gets killed quickly.

More weaknesses than scrafty

Reallygood bulk

It has dragon dance.GG if it gets these up.

Because of dragon dance, it can use an item such as leftovers.

Great abilities

With lots of W-o-Ws and thunder waves flying round in UU, he has to run shed skin or lum berry.

In UU, he is used less than Scrafty, so I suppose he is better?

He has worse offensive stats but dragon dance cancels that out.

Of course these are just the pros and cons, so it’s entirely up to you.Personally, Scrafty seems better.Also, Scraftys ability should be shed skin and its item should be leftovers.

Hope I helped!
