Incieroar is a prime example of how strong role compression can be. It fulfills multiple roles in a single set: Its decently Bulky, its a fake out user, it deals with Steel and Grass Types, its a damage controler, its a Pivot (even more importantly its a SLOW Pivot) and depending on the generation it can remove Items.

[@NikkiNighteye]

Incineroar was the first Pokémon I ever used in my first game of Sun, and as someone who doesn't play competitive, I love to see my boy absolutely slaying out there. And here I was playing my game with him using 4 fire moves and a dream

I didn't care about Incin at first in Sun and Moon, I didn't necessarily hate his design like everyone else, but I also wasn't the biggest fan of it.

[@Yomasi]

The crazy part is, i don't think we should nerf Incineroar. It has an insane movepool full of supportive options but it's, for the most part, a pretty healthy presence. I like to refer incineroar as "the bullshit ender" because it and mons with redirection is able to snuff out any stupid gimmick BO1 might throw at you

[@RocketPropelledMexican]

Yeah it's really not OP if you actually play comp VGC. It's not something format warping like urshifu. It's actually a saving grace because of how splashable it is as a glue mon.

[@DimensionDefender]

I feel the same way. Yes, there would probably be ways around the more painful presences and strategies without it, but it would be way harder and take more Pokémon on a team to fulfil the roles for. He might be the most centralizing Pokémon to ever centralize, but Incineroar's role compression actually frees up more team slots to allow for more unique Pokémon choices and strategies, as well as making things a lot easier in general.

Incineroar is the definition of the perfect Pokémon, if an offensive pokémon was op you can bring a counter, if a defensive one controlled the meta you can bring a wallbracker. but a supporting pokemon is impossible to fully counter, because you can just not bring him, because he's not your win condition if you dedicated an answer for him and didn't appear you're pretty much screwed. You need to fear and respect his existence, he is the one in charge of the battle.

[@astupidlylongnamethatstoolong]

Well, its not you can't counter a supportive pokemon, its how the mon is made. Amoongus literally loses a few moves if there's ever a grass type or held item in play, and it's not oppressive at all nor has the capability to shut down as much play as incineroar. Another example is Indeedee, trick room helping hand support, can be easily shut down by another trick room or just straight up denying it from using it. Another another example Pelipper for Rain tailwind setter, not very op, easy to shut down, and only threatening under some circumstances. Incineroar otoh, has a perfect partner in crime with rilaboom who will always run fake out and uturn for extra fake out pressure, grassy surge to top it off on top of its way better stats. If anything, Incineroar is OP, just not in the way we typically think it is. It's an OP enabler, not an OP tanker/Dmg dealer.

When I built my team for the climb to Master Rank, I used a bunch of Pokémon that worked well alongside my Dialga, but far and away the best pairing I found was my Incineroar, Mr. VGC, who basically is an amazing partner for _literally everyone on the team_ due solely to his support options. He’s a Support with the moveset Flare Blitz, Fake Out, Parting Shot, and Helping Hand (so more offensively orientated, which works for my team). I have had a win happen solely due to Incineroar surviving a +1 Tera Fairy (was a turn one braindead play) Calyrex Shadow Astral Barrage, using what little health he had to pivot out into Dialga, allowing him to provide Fake Out Pressure on the next turn so Dialga could safely secure the game with Trick Room. Dude is OP, but like, in a good way. Incineroar is basically a glue that holds together entire teams due to how versatile it is.

Wolfey has made this exact video like 5 times lmao

[@kaizenpkmn7339]

Someone should do the math on how much money Incin has actually made. That would be actually dope

[@loupofe.8836]

5:30 is that a zato-1 reference

[@kingambitreal]

I wonder in which gen another Intimidatiger will be introduced to finally dethrone this mf

[@happygol-lucky5938]

Incineroar may be the Heel, but he is the Hero we need against Power Creep.

[@dovahkiin0357]

That opener was gold

[@jerisj.8971]

Besides Ting-lu's ability(kinda), there's no sp.atk "intimidate" that competes for viability. Im curious if GF would put something like this in the game, either by a new mon or reworking abilities on previous mons.

[@adamjsher04]

I love Incineroar. He stat drops, he burns, he knock offs, hell the MF even Smashes opponents from all over gaming history

[@CharlesHarrisonIsColorBlind]

Incineroar was my first starter so…

[@varanus5622]

So, my first exposure to Incineroar was in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and in that game Incen *is* a one-shot machine, so I found the fact that he was broken in Pokémon for completely different reasons extremely funny.

Me forgetting Chien Pao vs Incineroar are cats. Them: you will suffer mortal

[@MrTheHawk]

THAT INTRO 😂😂😂

[@Badoofhmz]

7:42 he is mahogara!

[@luqmanloki4803]

Funny enough I loved Incineroar when he was 1st revealed. Just because I grew up watching wwe. Now everybody hates him because of his utility makes me like him even more😂. Thank god I don't play competitive pokemon.

[@sketchydude8431]

If anything, you could see Incinroar intentionally causing hate. He's a wrestling heel! That's kindve their thing. He's a heel wrestle cat that flexes menacingly and goes back out while throwing insults using parting shot He's causing so much hate coming his way and he's loving it.

[@ChaosMagik]

Ah, 2020. I returned to the game that year with all my time at home. I saw your control team video and used incineroar ever since.

[@HikasCorner]

Bro 29 sec ago, I'm spawn camping this vid

[@AdrianGado]

I love seeing this because he was my favorite starter for that gen.
