Infernape was once a Chimchar owned by Paul. Prior to events of the Diamond and Pearl series, Paul saw Chimchar being chased by a group of wild {{p|Zangoose}}. The situation looked bad for Chimchar, but in its stress it pulled off an extremely powerful Flame Wheel. This impressed Paul enough to add Chimchar to his regular team. However, this first impression did not match up to Chimchar's normal abilities, resulting in Paul criticizing it for being weak. Since then Paul has been pushing Chimchar to the limit to duplicate the amazing power he saw before. Traumatized, Chimchar gained a morbid fear of all Zangoose.

Chimchar's first episode was ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' where Paul used it to battle [[Ash's Aipom]]. It fought well, but lost in the end. Chimchar reappeared in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' where it won against [[Ash's Turtwig]] and ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'' where it beat [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}} but lost to [[Roark's Cranidos]].

In ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', Paul used Chimchar in his Gym battle against [[Roark]] and his {{p|Onix}}. Chimchar immediately took damage from Onix's previously placed {{m|Stealth Rock}}, but remained standing. Chimchar than continued to use Dig until Onix was knocked out, having support from [[Paul's Elekid]]'s {{a|Static}} Ability slowing Onix down. Chimchar then went up against [[Roark's Cranidos]]. Paul uses the same strategy again, having Chimchar dodge and attack with Dig. However, Roark has figured it out by now and deals major damage from continuous attacks from {{m|Headbutt}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, causing Chimchar to activate {{a|Blaze}}. Chimchar attacks with a powered up Flame Wheel and followed up with Dig, but is knocked out with Headbutt, causing Paul to get angry with Chimchar for its defeat and promising to deal with it later.


After losing to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', Paul realized that Chimchar was not fulfilling his expectations. This culminated in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], where he was forced to battle alongside Ash. That night, Ash discovered Paul's training regime, which involved his Pokémon attacking Chimchar in the hopes of recreating the power he had seen before. Ash intervened and took Chimchar to the Pokémon Center where Nurse Joy told Paul it would be unable to battle. Paul ignored this warning.
