Known as the Flame Pokemon, Infernape first appeared in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl as the Sinnoh region's Fire-type Starter. Infernape is the fully evolved form of Chimchar and Monferno, and is usually classified as a dual-type Fire and Fighting Pokemon. With a very versatile move list and high speed, physical attack and special attack stats, Infernape is one of the more popular starters to come from the Sinnoh region. However, Flame Pokémon's intensity is offset by its low HP and defense, and weaknesses to water, flying, and ground attacks. IN Pokemon Scarlet and VioletInfernape can be obtained by capturing a Chimchar in the terrarium's polar biome and evolving it.
Although Serperior the Unrivaled was an easier Tera Raid battle, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers will soon have a more challenging foe to face. According to Serebii.net, Infernape the Unrivaled will appear in the Seven-Star Tera Raid dens starting Thursday, October 3rd at 8:00 PM Eastern and ending on Sunday, October 6th at 7:59 PM Eastern. Pokémon trainers who miss the first matches against Infernape the Unrivaled will get another chance next week, from October 10th to 13th at the same start and end times. Infernape the Unrivaled will have the Rock type as its Tera type and will give the most powerful mark to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player who defeats it.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Reveal Infernape Seven-Star Tera Raids (October 2024)
- Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will host Infernape The Unrivaled in Seven-Star Tera Raids
- The raids will run from October 3 to 6, with a second run on October 10 to 13.
- Infernape the Unrivaled will be a Rock-Tera boss with the hidden ability Iron Fist.

Similar to before Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Tera Raid bosses, Infernape the Unrivaled comes with his Hidden Ability, Iron Fist, which will increase the power of punch attacks by 50%. Ergo, moves like Mach Punch, Fire Punch, and Thunder Punch will likely appear in the Flame Pokémon's repertoire. In addition to his punches, Infernape the Unrivaled will use a rock-type attack like Stone Edge or Rock Slide to take advantage of his Tera-type, and can use moves like Taunt and Swords Dance to stop his enemies. Although Rock-type Pokémon are known for their toughness, Infernape's nature as a glass cannon makes it vulnerable to water, ground, and melee attacks.
Pokemon with strong defenses of their own that can also use moves like Body Press can be crucial in the fight against Infernape the Unrivaled. What strategies Pokemon Scarlet and Violet the players will develop remains to be seen.
