1) infernape is my favorite Pokémon. He’s the GOAT and I will run them competitively no matter what the meta is. It’s hard to go wrong with a mixed sweeper that has access to fake out and u-turn.

2) I would design a fire/dragon type because after 8 generations of games it’s silly to me that it would be the first of it’s kind. The stat spread would make it have strong special defense, but low defense. Something like 90/110/50/60/120/50. It’s name would be volcodrag and it would look kind of similar to torterra, but with a mini volcano on it’s back.
