In this guide we will look at the best ways players can counter one of the top Pokemon in the VGC format, Incineroar.
Incineroar is not only thebest support Pokemon in VGC, but also the bestnon-Restricted Pokemonin the format. It has a great typing in Fire/Dark, access to the ability Intimidate, and has a wide movepool with multiple options that can be tailored to the player’s need.
This lets it even check Restricted Legendaries like both Calyrex forms and Lunala. In this guide, we will look at how you can deal with an opposing Incineroar and its disruptive tactics.
How To Deal With Incineroar in VGC
Incineroar is not a threat because of its damage output. Instead, this big cat threatens to play whatever role you are worried about it playing. It can use Fake Out to flinch you for a turn. It can slow pivot with either U-turn (for chip damage) or Parting Shot (to drop the target’s stats).
When it enters the field again, its ability Intimidate will lower the Attack of both the opponent’s Pokemon. It has Will-o-Wisp for spreading burns, which puts the opponent’s Pokemon on a timer as well as further lowers their Attack.
Incineroar can also remove the opponent’s item with Knock Off, or stop them from using status moves with Taunt. Oh, and it’s a pretty decent physical attacker too, with Flare Blitz coming off its 115 Attack stat, doing a chunk to its targets.
