I just found out Pangoro can learn the TM for Infestation. Let me repeat that: My overweight muscle bear can infest other pokemon. How can you be INFESTED by a BEAR?!? Bill, could you please tell me how this works before morbid curiosity kicks in and I teach it to him? Or before I go and catch a Mr. Mine to teach this TM to instead. (Turns out you can also be infested by clowns.) Please stop me Bill. Help.

Editorial note: Bill, this question is not to be answered with bear puns. —LH

Oh, Infestation from a pangoro is quite unbearable, anonymous.

Bill, I swear to literally all the gods. —LH

In all seriousness, the pokémon themselves don’t do the infestation. Rather, they summon swarms of bugs that overwhelm their opponents. This is why it’s difficult to escape while the infestation is active: there are so many bugs swarming your pokémon that you simply can’t withdraw them.

Happy battling, anonymous!
