Infernape's body becomes surrounded by red-orange fire and it shoots at the opponent like a missile, slamming into it with great force. Sometimes as its charging at the opponent, the fire around it turns light blue. When the attack is over, red sparks surround Infernape's body as it takes recoil damage. | |||
