@Period: You know, it's funny. As a matter of fact, not only are you using the same ideals and language that ZLS used until I persuaded him otherwise, but even more odd is that the same Pokemon is being fought over. Arcanine is much worse. Infernape is one of the best sweepers in standard play, and the fact that his physical and special capabilities are both great make him an even greater threat, because that makes him that much more unpredictable. And honestly, looking for "balanced" stats isn't the thing a competitive battler would do. If that were the case, Blissey, for example, would
NEVER be used, and Pokemon like Arcanine, the likes of UU and NU, would run rampant. Generally, having one-sided traits is what can make Pokemon so good/popular. You're factoring in Infernape's Defensive stats. That's like counting Blissey's Attack, or even its Speed. Infernape isn't meant to take blows, nor is almost any Sweeper, for that matter. It's a universal fact. That's why switch-outs exist. And hence why residual damage and switch-in hazards are so popular. And hence why Rapid Spinners are so popular. It goes on and on. Defense on him isn't meant to be counted.
@flipz: ooh u haz pt
Do you have Wi-Fi? If so, you can participate in our upcoming Wi-Fi Tournament, which I hope to host with fabulous, wonderous prizes of wonder.

i kno, but it isn't the best sweeper tbh. for sweeping i use weaviles. they are faster and more powerful (in attack not special attack).
@renegade phantom: that isn't to great... wt if u r against a golem or steelix? i kno u can switch out but i try to keep pokémon more dynamic.
