 *{{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Delcatty|8}} is in the deck to sit on the bench and provide drawing support with its '''Energy Draw''' [[Pokémon Power|Poké-Power]].
 *{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Delcatty ex|91}} is a dual-purpose addition to the deck.  First of all, its '''Constrain''' [[Pokémon Power|Poké-Power]] can be used to put energy in the discard pile for {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Infernape Lv.X|121}}'s massive '''Flare Up''' attack, and it can recycle energy back into the deck that {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Infernape|5}} loses with its '''Flare Blitz''' attack.
 *{{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Infernape|5}} is the deck's main attacker, being able to attack quickly for large amounts of damage with '''Meteor Punch,''' and then dealing a lot of damage with '''Flare Blitz.'''
-*{{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Infernape Lv.X|121}} is the big finisher, dealing an amazing 150 damage for only two energies.  The downside is that it only works if a player has eight [[Fire Energy (TCG)|Fire Energies]] in their discard pile, and then they are shuffled back into the deck.  It also recycles energies lost with '''Flare Blitz''' and '''Energy Draw.'''

 *{{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Monferno|56}}, despite possessing cheap, fast attacks, is in the deck for the same purpose as {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Chimchar|76}}.
 *{{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Skitty|62}} cannot hold its own in battle and is only useful to evolve into either {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Delcatty ex|91}} or {{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Delcatty|8}}.
-*{{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Budew|43}} quickly searches any needed trainer out of the deck.  It is the perfect starting Pokémon.

 *{{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Holon Mentor|75}} is used to search out any three basic Pokémon in the deck.
 *{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Windstorm|85}} is kept in the deck to discard cards like {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Cessation Crystal|74}}, which can make this deck slow and hard to use.
-*{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Castaway|72}} can root out one [[Supporter card (TCG)|Supporter]] (usually another Castaway), a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool}}, and a Basic Energy Card.  This is the key trainer card in the deck, because a player can decide which supporter to use next turn.

 *{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Warp Point|84}} is to retreat a Pokémon with a special condition, because most Pokémon in the the deck have free retreat costs.
 *{{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Professor Elm's Training Method|79}} is for searching out {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Delcatty ex|91}}, because {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Celio's Network|73}} cannot search Pokémon EX.
 *{{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Strength Charm|81}} is like a {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|PlusPower|109}} that is searchable by {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Castaway|72}}.  The downside is that it takes up the {{TCG|Pokémon Tool}} slot.

 ==History==
-Obviously, the deck was not possible to build before the release of {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}, because {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Infernape|5}} is a key card, and it is from that set.  The deck gradually rose in popularity and saw a sharp rise in useage when [[Beckett Pokémon Collector]] published an article about it in its October 2007 issue.

-===Restiction===
+===Restriction===
+Infercatty was restricted due to the {{TCG|rotation}} of all pre-{{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} cards from the [[2008-09 Modified format]].
-Infercatty has not been banned and is not likely to be banned any time in the foreseeable future.  It will likely be awhile before the next {{TCG|rotation}}.
