Incineroar Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Intimidate changes the entire equation for Incineroar. The 530 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked B-Tier as a wallbreaker. Flare Blitz with Assault Vest is the standard set.
Intimidate is what you want on Incineroar. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Blaze) work on paper but Intimidate is what makes Incineroar worth using.
At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Incineroar is a physical attacker with base 115 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Flare Blitz, Knock Off, Darkestlariat, and Fakeout on Incineroar. Flare Blitz is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Incineroar joined the series in Sun & Moon and has been available in 4 titles so far. With 4 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
