Type wise, Infernape is the best. It's fire type allows it to break even with empoleon and it's speed could just mach punch blitz torterra before it could use enough status moves. It's fighting type beats Empoleon and empoleon's superior speed to torterra and torterra's type would easly kill torterra. And it's really strong. For example, some pokedex entries for empoleon: "It swims as fast as a jet boat. The edges of it's wings are sharp and can slice apart drifting ice" And "It avoids unessasairy disputes, but it will desimate anything that hurts it's pride" And it has a third one, but it's literally a combonation of the first two. It has hydro pump, metal claw (Basically it's only steel move...), Swagger (Yeah, THAT),  Swords dance, Aqua Jet, and so many good attacks. And none of these require TMs. I suggest you do more research. But seriously, this guy has SWAGGER and wings that can cut through iceburgs. Just use swagger on torterra, it hits itself in confusion while Empoleon goes for a swords dance, then aqua jet or metal claw, DEAD. As for my boy Infernape, As said in it's pokedex entries, it's fire never goes out and it always used unique martial arts with all of it's limbs. No charizard probem here folks. Close combat, while bad in the long term, could easily beat the two others before anything gets too bad. Flare blitz, acrobatics, taunt to prevent torterra from using the status move that you say let it win this battle, FREAKING CALM MIND. And once again, none of these requre move toutors or TMs. Also it's previous evlolution can learn SLACK OFF. And synthesis is no better then slack off in regular sunlight like this battle had. So torterra easily gets countered by the two. As for it's moveset and pokedex entries, it's entries don't help it at all combat-wise, withdraw only raises it's defence by one stag and leaves it open, as the other two get to attack it before it withdraws. Also, Earthquake is the ONLY ground type move it naturally learns, and once again, Infernape and torterra can just obliterate it before it uses it. Or just use a special attack on it to ignore it's defence. That's my rant for the day.
