Verdict

Shadow Infernape is a solid but not elite Fire-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#18) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,033 and base stats of 222/151/183, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Fire-type counters. The best moveset is Fire Spin paired with Blast Burn. Consider investing if you need a Fire-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
