Moves
========
- Fake Out allows Incineroar allows you to gain momentum by blocking an opponent's move
- Flare Blitz is Incineroar's strongest STAB attack. It wears down your HP, so avoid using it when you don't have to (unless you're trying to activate your own pinch berry)
- Knock Off offers utility as well as a relatively strong Dark-type attack against targets that aren't carrying a Mega Stone or Z Crystal
- U-turn allows Incineroar to switch out, even in the face of Shadow Tag, and act as a "slow pivot" that can bring in a partner without forcing it to take an attack.
========
- The given spread survives two Earthquakes from Jolly Landorus-T after Intimidate, survives two Thunderbolts from Life Orb Tapu Koko in terrain (when using Assault Vest), maintains an odd HP number for less damage against Stealth Rock, then dumps the remaining EVs into Attack
- An alternative spread with 68 Def and 80 Spe allows Incineroar to outpace Mega Metagross in Tailwind while avoiding a 2HKO from Mega Metagross's Stomping Tantrum
