Competitive Strategy
Incineroar is a bulky utility attacker and pivot. Intimidate lowers the opponent's Attack on switch-in, softening physical threats, while 95/90/90 bulk lets it take hits. Flare Blitz and Darkest Lariat are strong STAB options, and U-turn plus Parting Shot keep momentum and disrupt setup. Fake Out provides free chip and position. Its Fire/Dark typing leaves it weak to Fighting, Ground, Rock, and Water, so pair it with partners that cover those four matchups and use its pivoting moves to bring them in safely.
