Since Incineroar absuses Intimidate, we should replace it with a different ability. I suggest Wonder Guard.

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. But it grew on me, and not only is it my favorite Fire starter, but I use this mfer in Smash Bros. a lot. I love this stupid, wrestle cat, creature thing. Way before it even got Intimidate

[@HeavensBane53]

I like Incineroar's design (the fire-dark heel cat is just a fun concept) and I think it's neat seeing a starter pokemon be so dominant in competitive. Of course, I am a complete casual that doesn't even play ladder, so I don't have to experience the effects of dealing with it either.

[@mistereiswolf70]

It was criminal that the intro bit did not had the line "It kinda looks like grandma" in it!

[@LimitBreakr424]

My uncle that works at Pokémon says that Incineroar is going to get a signature move, Fake Rocks, an entry hazard that causes switch ins to lose a turn like they’ve been hit with Fake Out. Also it can’t be removed. Idk sounds like it’ll still need a buff

[@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.

[@doubled1533]

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.

[@yungmuney5903]

Still think intimidate should hit one opposing pokemon on the field rather than both.

[@ryankerr7318]

The epitome of "Why be first when you can be second".

Nah, he's just there to support the big guy, then move on to the next bigger fish. Dark type fr xD

[@haytamlaalami5514]

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.

[@jamiesinclair-williams9503]

Incineroar does warp the meta around him, but i think its in a way like max c does in yugioh, its mere presence and ability to loom over so many pokemon that would otherwise be unstoppable, creates a more diverse meta, and as he fits into so many teams, he just gives more agency to express player skill, and preparation.

[@astupidlylongnamethatstoolong]

Counterpoint, stopping maxx c is as easy as 1 card and for most decks nowadays, they have plenty of outs to maxx c. And people on ygo are far more pissy when they can't deny you a chance of playing the game at all with 2 negates,1 omni negate and 2 destruction cards on field.

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.

[@PrinceSilvermane]

You know what the bigger problem is with Incineroar? How do you even fix the problem if it even can be considered one. Take away parts of his kit and he'll find a niche. Introduce a better Incineroar and the problem gets worse. Introduce a Pokemon that can do aspects of his kit better but not all at once and people will still use him just because he could do a multi-role check. You just can't win.

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.

[@timaeustanis]

Three Pokémon I hate most: - Miltank (sausage nipples) - Incineroar (effing cat is too busted) - Toxapex (bc of all the poison stall teams in Showdown)

[@xx_squirtle8621]

Lowkey, Incineroar hate in VGC brings me back to Toxapex hate on Smogon. Hating a defensive mon

[@onebear6504]

Love the fact that Incin isn't broken because of some busted gimmick. The epitome of "why be first when you can be second". He's just always there to support the OP mon, before moving on to the next 👑

[@xx_squirtle8621]

@@onebear6504 Another thing about incin being broken is like it feels like none of it was intentional. Like they weren’t trying to make broken ass threat number 50000 like they are nowadays. Bro just happened to have every tool a defensive VGC mon needs

[@astupidlylongnamethatstoolong]

​@@xx_squirtle8621parting shot definitely felt intended tho. Who though the ability to be able to do 3 attack downs and 1 spatk down was a balanced idea lol

[@tedscheett9420]

Incineroar's most powerful tool in it's kit is how deceptive it is. You don't really expect Fire to be a good defensive type, but it actually is the type with the second most resistances in the game. You don't expect Base 90 to be that great for defense, but with it's high HP and Intimidate, it is. You don't expect a Pokemon built like a bulky attacker to have utility, but it does. The problem with Incineroar is that everything that you think it can't do, it can and does.

[@SSJ22Terris]

how fitting for the Heel pokemon to be so universally acclaimed, and by many despised.

[@onebear6504]

He's also a dark antihero I hear since without him being the super glue for various diverse teams, the meta is gonna be our beloved Uber Fest~ The day when Incin is gone and the meaning of it understood, everyone gonna wish him back xD

[@tylergraves8261]

I was driving while listening to this and at multiple cases I thought there was a siren going on and pulled over only to realize it’s the mf video lol

[@Brett-ww9fv]

I think Incineroar needs an evolution so he can use eviolite lmaoo

[@HikasCorner]

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

[@aidanfitzpatrick8652]

Discussing the problem with Incineroar because fighting one will have you asking "what the fuck is this guy's problem bro"

[@sjaakbakker9944]

Gen 9 gave him helping hand too

[@KevinHenderson100293]

Swampert needs Oblivous as its hidden ability so that it can check Incineroar.

[@SkodLife]

0:30 Drowned in pain, I lost my mind There's no good or bad in there

[@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.

[@scottgerk7627]

"Personally? I love 'em. He's super cool." Wolfe Glick would like to know your location.

[@daltonriser1125]

There should be a a special version of intimidate

[@Xneocake]

I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE BRO WAS MEWING IN THE THUMBNAIL 😭😭😭

[@marcoland120]

The thing is that incin is the excuse gift fr gf for making power creep

[@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.

[@whisperingnebula44]

there is no problem he's goated

[@CharlesHarrisonIsColorBlind]

Incineroar was my first starter so…

[@dovahkiin0357]

That opener was gold

[@nazeersadek6705]

I think the best way to nerf Incenroar is give it a different ability but what ability would be suited for a heel wrestler? Serious question btw

[@brianliu4831]

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

[@chiefwalks-with-legs9843]

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

[@RaptinDinon-mn4ps]

Design wise alright would have just prefered a quadruped. Maybe with a mega or regional form that can happen. Would be cool if the alternative Incinaroar gets a special attack version of intimidate.

[@booradley6832]

Incineroar is why VGC doesnt grow as much as it should. Pokemon is a hugely varied game that gives room for wild strategies and pulling interactions out that nobody else has considered how to fully exploit.... until you get to Incineroar and how everything has to be built around him, either on your team, against him on the other team, or both. He's a red flag to anyone looking to get into the game, and clearly busted to anyone who hasnt been beaten into submission and become an apologist, spending their days talking about how "nobody thinks he's a problem," "nobody has ever said I would have won if they didnt have Incineroar on their team" and "he's a balanced part of the metagame" in between bouts of begging for e-bucks and subs. Not that I can think of anyone like that. Just a wildly exaggerated cartoonish archetype for an example.

[@midnightromeo11]

I like fire starters, I like cats, and I like wrestling. Incineroar has been my favorite starter of all time since it 1st came out and I’m happy for all of its success 😢
