Infernape Rank 1 Team

1st Place

Doubles • Regulation Set M-A

Synergy

Infernape opens with Stealth Rock and burns physical attackers, while Heliolisk uses Shed Tail to hand a substitute to one of four setup sweepers. Mega Froslass and Mega Gyarados are the two Mega options, chosen per matchup. Froslass sets Aurora Veil and sweeps with boosted special attacks under hail; Gyarados takes the physical lane after a Dragon Dance. Hawlucha and Aegislash are the back-end closers, both threatening Swords Dance sweeps behind the team's many defensive tools.

Win Conditions

Heliolisk's Shed Tail secures a free substitute for Froslass, Gyarados, or Hawlucha, enabling a setup sweep behind screens or hazard pressure. Infernape's Will-O-Wisp and Stealth Rock chip opposing teams while Taunt shuts down support attempts. Aegislash's Shadow Sneak provides priority cleanup against weakened targets.

Lead Options

Infernape + Heliolisk, Heliolisk + Froslass, Infernape + Gyarados

Threats

Strong water-type attackers that overwhelm Passho Berry coverage on Infernape. Phazers and Haze users that clear substitutes. Basculegion with Last Respects bypasses Aegislash's Focus Sash at full stacks.
