Incineroar @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 68 Atk / 32 Def / 160 SpD
Careful Nature
- Fake Out
- Knock Off
- Flare Blitz
- Parting Shot
Thanks to Intimidate combined with access to valuable support moves, Incineroar stands out as one of the best pivots in the tier and one of the few reliable Ghost-resistant Pokemon able to check Spectrier and Dragapult. Fake Out + Parting Shot gives the upper hand in positioning, either by keeping your partner safe for a turn from an opposing threat or by slowly and safely bringing in one of your own threats. This also allows Incineroar to come back again on the field and reuse Intimidate and Fake Out, with Heavy-Duty Boots keeping it safe from entry hazards. Knock Off can remove valuable items such as Eviolite from Porygon2 and Leftovers from Tapu Fini. Incineroar works well on a variety of teams as a glue Pokemon; teammates such as Tapu Fini specifically appreciate its ability to threaten Grass-types such as Rillaboom and to generate safe turns for it to set up with Calm Mind, while offensive threats such as Urshifu-R value the slow, safe switch. The given EV spread allows Incineroar to survive a Steam Eruption from Volcanion while also securing the KO on Dragapult, showing off its all-around talent.

Dank Intimidate in Kombination mit dem Zugriff auf wertvolle Support-Attacken sticht Incineroar als einer der besten Pivots im Tier und eines der wenigen verlässlichen Geist-resistierenden Pokémon heraus, das in der Lage ist Spectrier und Dragapult zu checken. Fake Out + Parting Shot gibt die Überhand beim Positionieren, indem sie einen Teampartner für eine Runde vor einem gegnerischen Pokémon beschützen oder ein eigenes Pokémon sicher in den Kampf zu bringen. Das erlaubt es Incineroar auch erneut in den Kampf zu kommen und Intimidate und Fake Out zu verwenden, wobei es von Heavy-Duty Boots vor Entry Hazards geschützt ist. Knock Off kann wichtige Items wie Eviolite von Porygon2 und Leftovers von Tapu Fini entfernen. Incineroar passt als Unterstützer in viele Teams. Teampartner wie Tapu Fini schätzen Incineroar für die Fähigkeit Pflanzen-Pokémon wie Rillaboom zu bedrohen und sichere Runden zu generieren, um ein Setup mit Calm Mind durchzuführen, während offensive Threats wie Urshifu-R das sichere Einwechseln wertschätzen. Die EV-Verteilung erlaubt Incineroar eine Steam Eruption von Volcanion zu überleben und den KO gegen Dragapult zu sichern, um so das umfassende Talent zu zeigen.
