Incineroar's other [[special moves]] complete its moveset with a few versatile tools. [[Darkest Lariat]] is Incineroar's get-off-me option, possessing fast startup (being tied for neutral attack and neutral aerial as its second fastest attack), a long duration, [[transcendent priority]] throughout its hitboxes, [[invincibility]] on its arms, and a very strong early hit. Though its power gradually weakens over time, its perks allow it to outprioritize many moves (even weak projectiles) while hitting hard. [[Cross Chop]] is Incineroar's main recovery move; it can contest against other attacks due to its [[super armor]] during the start, and the descending hit deals high knockback. It is also a powerful combo finisher or [[sacrificial KO]], as the initial descent's high base knockback allows it to [[gimp]] any character at 0% should the descending hit connect. | Incineroar's other [[special moves]] complete its moveset with a few versatile tools.

Finally, [[Revenge]] is a unique [[counterattack]] that retaliates with a weak hit, but stores a stackable power increase that affects Incineroar's next move; with a sufficiently strong buff, it grants exorbitantly powerful punishes, with moves such as its smashes, Darkest Lariat, Alolan Whip, and most infamously back throw turning into some of the strongest attacks in the game. While the buff lasts for one successful move, it is not lost should the attack hit an opponent's shield, making Incineroar's moves generally safe on block and can even result in the opponent's shield being broken if they keep shielding, leading to their doom. The buff does eventually go away if Incineroar uses too many moves without landing a hit, or if Incineroar itself is hit enough times | Finally, [[Revenge]] is a unique [[counterattack]] that retaliates with a weak hit, but stores a stackable power increase that affects Incineroar's next move; with a sufficiently strong buff, it grants exorbitantly powerful punishes, with moves such as its smashes, Darkest Lariat, Alolan Whip, and most infamously back throw turning into some of the strongest attacks in the game.

Revenge's buff is not lost upon hitting the failed version of Alolan Whip, but is lost upon hitting the first neutral attack if you do not complete the jab combo. | ||
However, Incineroar's powerful abilities come at a severe cost. Its biggest issue comes from its poor [[neutral game]]. As mentioned before, Incineroar possesses abysmal mobility; when combined with a lack of a [[projectile]], this makes it very easy to zone out and gives it a terrible approach. While the hitboxes on its moves are large, Incineroar's overall [[range]] remains somewhat short, so any sufficiently long-ranged projectile or [[disjoint]]ed range can be enough to keep Incineroar at bay. This is especially troublesome considering the cast is also full of characters with either greater mobility (such as {{SSBU|Sonic}}), superior melee range (such as {{SSBU|Lucina}}), good zoning games (such as {{SSBU|Min Min}}), or in some cases, all three points (such as {{SSBU|Wolf}}). | However, Incineroar's powerful abilities come at a severe cost.
