Alolan Whip (ロープスイング, Rope Swing) is Incineroar's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

Incineroar dashes towards its opponent, grabs them and then throws them towards wrestling ring ropes. Upon being rebounded by ropes, Incineroar has to press the B button to perform an move against the oncoming opponent, with timing playing a huge factor. Pressing the button too early will cause Incineroar to do a Back Body Drop, which launches the opponent vertically; pressing it at the right moment will cause Incineroar perform a clothesline with strong horizontal knockback; and pressing the button too late (or failing to press it at all) will cause the opponent to collide into Incineroar, causing minor damage.

Origin

Although the move does not exist in the Pokémon games, it is instead based on a real wrestling move, the Irish whip, where the move gets its namesake; it is also named after the Alola region, from which Incineroar hails.

Trivia

• This is the first Pokémon special move to be a move original to Smash Bros.
  • This is not counting Thunder Jolt, which, while not in the mainline games, was in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
