Which infernape moveset?

I have 2 infernape sets, but which ones the best?

Infernape 1

Infernape@life OrbAbility: Iron FistNature: JollyEvs:252 Spd, 252 Atk, 4 Def-Thunder Punch-Airial Ace-Earthquake-Close Combat

Infernape 2

Infernape@life OrbAbility: BlazeNature: JollyEvs: 252 Spd, 252 Atk, 4 Def-Close Combat-Flare Blitz-Earthquake-Mach Punch

infernape 1 has the best type coverage, but infernape 2 has fire STAB and priority. Which is best?

I would recommend Infernape #1 because Thunder Punch’s power is increased by 20% with iron fist, that combined with the Life Orb will deal a high level of damage towards Water and Flying types covering two weaknesses that Infernape has. As for STAB, it still has Close Combat.

I would use the first set, mainly because of Iron Fist. But I also have some changes for the set:

First off, Infernape has no Fire STAB, which you’ll need to take down some bulky Pokemon. So for the fire move I would replace Aerial Ace with Flare Blitz, for hitting super hard.

Now, after that’s out of the way, you’re gonna need some priority. So I would replace Earthquake with either Fake Out or Mach Punch. It’s up to you. Either a fast attack that can cause flinching or a STAB Priority move boosted by Iron fist for revenge killing.

The final set:

Hope I helped!
