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 preform 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. Hitting the button at the right time will cause Incineroar to do a lariat, and hitting the button too late will cause the opponent to slam into Incineroar, damaging it in the process.
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.
