Character description
Incineroar is a bipedal, feline Pokémon, and is categorized within the Pokédex as the "Heel Pokémon". Incineroar is a dual Fire/Dark-type Pokémon, and is the final evolved form of Litten, after having evolved from Torracat at level 34 onward. As Litten, it is one of the Alola region's three starter Pokémon.
True to its Pokédex categorization, Incineroar behaves much like a heel in professional wrestling. It is known for being selfish, egotistical to the point of ignoring its own Trainer's commands on a whim, and brutal to the point of even attacking the opposing Pokémon's Trainer. However, Incineroar gets bored when facing weaker opponents and, like Charizard, becomes more motivated when fighting challenging ones.
In addition to using a mix of punches and kicks, Incineroar can emit streams of flame from its navel. On a related note, it is typically seen with flames ringed around its waist, which fittingly resemble a championship belt.
Incineroar's default Ability is Blaze, which increases its Attack and Special Attack statistics by 50% when using a Fire-type move and while it has a third or less of its Hit Points remaining. In comparison, its Hidden Ability is Intimidate, which decreases the opponent's Attack stat by one stage whenever Incineroar enters a battle.
Like Decidueye and Primarina, its fellow fully evolved Alola starter Pokémon, Incineroar has both a signature move and signature Z-Move. In Incineroar's case, it can learn Darkest Lariat, which can be converted into Malicious Moonsault as long as it holds Incinium Z.
Although Incineroar's slow Speed and vulnerability to common attacking types see it generally struggle in singles battles within the competitive Pokémon metagame, it is renowned as one of the most useful Pokémon within the competitive metagame's double battles format, thanks to its above-average Attack stat, respectable overall defenses, potent offensive typing, and the utility provided by both Intimidate and its moveset.
In the Pokémon anime, Incineroar appears as the main Pokémon of Professor Kukui while under his Masked Royal persona. It developed a rivalry with Ash's Torracat, and is shown to be incredibly powerful in battle. In I Choose You!, an Incineroar appears under the ownership of Cross, the movie's main antagonist.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Incineroar appears as a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was revealed during a Nintendo Direct on November 1st, 2018, alongside Ken and Piranha Plant.
