Strategy Overview

Incineroar is one of the most widely used Pokemon in Doubles, as its unique access to the combination of Intimidate, Fake Out, and U-turn aids every team in the difficult task of maintaining a positive board position. Aside from its perks in momentum management, Incineroar does well both offensively and defensively due to a solid typing and set of stats that allow it to take on prominent threats like Mega Metagross, Tapu Bulu, and Amoonguss relatively safely. Its utility, which is further augmented by access to Knock Off, ensures that Incineroar will almost never be dead weight, as the ability to pivot, lower Attack, and remove items can always come in handy. This constant and assured utility leads Incineroar to fit easily onto most teams and team styles. However, Incineroar can be slightly passive against Fire-resistant or bulky targets like Zygarde, Tapu Fini, and Landorus-T due to its low Speed and not especially notable Attack; the former trait also makes Incineroar prone to being worn down over the course of the match, especially when paired with its weakness to Stealth Rock and inability to fit Protect on most movesets.
