Incineroar (ガオガエン, Gaogaen) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed as a playable character alongside Ken and Piranha Plant on November 1, 2018.

Attributes

• Incineroar mainly utilizes pro-wrestling moves, most notably having powerful throws.
• Incineroar will pose after successfully landing certain attacks, as well as visibly expressing frustration if they don't. However, these poses are merely aesthetic and can be cancelled out of.

Known moveset

• Darkest Lariat - Incineroar's neutral special, as well as its signature move in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Functions similarly to grounded Spinning Kong.
• Side special is a command grab where it tosses the opponent backwards into a boxing ring rope, lunging them back towards Incineroar. Pressing the attack button will initiate a follow-up based on timing:
  • Pressing at the perfect time will initiate a powerful lariat.
  • Pressing too early will initiate a back body drop.
  • Pressing too late or not pressing at all will cause the opponent to damage Incineroar.
• Cross Chop - Incineroar's up special. It leaps into the air and rockets back downwards at an angle, causing an explosion upon impact. However, Incineroar can self-destruct if not used properly.
• Revenge - Incineroar's down special. A unique counterattack that instead powers up its next attack.
• Max Malicious Moonsault - Incineroar's Final Smash, a more powerful version of its Z-Move. When used, Incineroar dashes forward, grabs the first opponent it touches, and throws them into the ropes of Boxing Ring, where the opponent rebounds back to Incineroar. Incineroar then delivers a powerful uppercut, sidekick, and punch to the opponent before moving on top of them and slamming them down in the middle of the ring, making a large explosion when it hits the ground. It functions similarly to Omega Blitz.
• A knee strike dash attack, similar to Zero Suit Samus's.
• A standing dropkick forward smash.
• A double axe handle up smash.
• A splash down smash, similar to King K. Rool's.
• A splash neutral aerial.
• A dropkick forward aerial.
• Forward throw - Spins the foe around and throws them forward, similarly to Wario's forward throw.
• Back throw - A back body drop.
• Up throw - An argentine backbreaker.
• Down throw - Slams the opponent into the ground.
