So I was browsing around Nugget Bridge and came across an interesting post:

To sum it up quickly, the poster lists a unique Infernape set for VGC.
Infernape @ Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fake Out
- Flamethrower
- Encore
- Taunt
With it's base 108 Speed stat, it has a faster Fake Out than Kangaskhan, Smeargle, Liepard, and Meowstic. It's base speed allows it to Taunt Smeargle, Xerneas, and Cresselia. Encore is a surprise move, allowing it to lock opposing Pokémon into unfavorable moves. From the post, the user states that only 12.5% of Infernape carry Encore according to Battle Spot, meaning that it's not a move that your opponent will expect.
What do you guys think? I think it's worth trying out. Who would you pair with Infernape?
