I am extremely skeptical of Emboar in OU.
It has unimpressive bulk, low speed, and heavy dependence on recoil moves. Those three traits do not mix well together. You may get a bunch of damage in on the few turns you have it in, but it won't be in for very many turns before it's taken out. At least it's rivals Victini and Darmanitan can be supported with defog or rapid spin to help get over their Stealth Rock weakness. I wouldn't even consider using it as a wall breaker when there are so many other, more durable options.
You could go for a Flame Charge or Choice Scarf set to help deal with its speed, I suppose. Then it might be more viable. However, I'm worried about using Flame Charge when there are so many impressive sweepers out there (namely MegaZardX) who are even more threatening after one turn of boosting.
Choice Scarf looks to be the most viable set, in my opinion, but I'm even a bit doubtful of that because it just goes down so easily.
