Talk:Infernape vs Greninja/@comment-34864871-20180301220250

Greninja takes this.

Base Greninja vs. Base Infernape = I can see Greninja taking this. Infernape got one shotted E4 Flint's Infernape, Base Greninja could survive being hit by Champion Diantha's Gardevoir, and score a hit on her (admittedly with tactics). Not mention, even in Base Form Greninja could hold his own with Alain's Mega Charizard for a short while and overpower it even.

Worst case scenario, I'd see Greninja and Infernape (Base Form) fight to a stalemate.

Ash-Greninja vs. Blaze Infernape = Greninja one shots. Blaze is pretty situational seeing as Infernape needs to be low on health to use it, and one Water Shuriken or any attack should be enough to put down a weakened Infernape. Plus, despite being abnormally powerful compared to other Fire-Types with the same ability, only Infernape's Fire-Type moves benefit from the boost, Battle Bond boost ALL of Greninja's stats.
