Author's Opinion: This may look like an inferior Infernape, but it has some few things that Infernape doesn't have. It has access to Reversal, which combined with a Focus Sash and a Salac Berry is a nasty combination. He also packs Agility to make up for its OK speed, as well as Baton Pass to pass the boosts on.
Recommended Movesets:Nature: Jolly
Item: Choice Band/Scarf
EVs: 4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
~ Flare Blitz
~ Superpower/Brick Break/Sky Uppercut
~ Thunder Punch
~ Stone Edge
It's a Choice Band/Scarf set. What else? It just hits hard. Fun fact: Choice Banded Flare Blitz can score an OHKO on Skarmory, the best Physical Wall in the OU metagame. Earthquake is also an option to use.
Nature: Adamant
Item: Life Orb
EVs: 140 HP/252 Attack/116 Speed (with Agility)
4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed (with Swords Dance)
~ Flare Blitz
~ Agility/Swords Dance
~ Superpower
~ Thunder Punch/Stone Edge/Earthquake/Baton Pass
Agility can help you outrun base 120 Speed Pokemon as well as Scarfed 100's. Swords Dance is there for increasing Attack power. And then sweep. You can also Baton Pass to another Sweeper for the boost.
Alternate Moves:Reversal and Substitute make a nasty combination. Depending on the boosting moves, you will want to use a Salac or Liechi berry.
Countering Blaziken:I just use too much Smogon don't I?
Anyway, Starmie, Gyarados, and Slowbro can wall its STAB Attacks, and can hit back with Surf/Waterfall. Tread carefully with Thunder Punch, and that means you, Gyarados.
Suicune is an exception, since Thunder Punch will still fail to OHKO.
Salamence walls it, but be careful of Stone Edge.
Hippowdon, Gliscor, and Donphan can counter any set without Special Attacks.
