Its Ability
Blaze Dance
Once during your turn (before your attack), when you play Infernape from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for up to 4 Fire Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon in any way you like. Shuffle your deck afterward.
Its attacks

60During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Infernape by attacks is increased by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
Spreading Fire
80Discard 2 Fire Energy attached to Infernape and this attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
What to make of it
Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- Close Combat hits for 60 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Stormfront hits harder for that price.
- It has an Ability, Blaze Dance. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- None of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
- It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Monferno to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
- Weakness Psychic +30. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 1,909 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
Who plays it
None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
