High-firepower meta Pokémon that hit it super-effectively by type (estimated, not battle data)
Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-05)
Incineroar posts only 0.75% usage at top-ladder singles (2.73% overall), ranking 89th, with zero appearances in top-300 ladder teams. Smogon's council consensus leans B-/C or lower, citing the loss of Knock Off and U-turn in Pokemon Champions as a critical nerf to its support toolkit. In the singles 6-pick-3 format, Intimidate's value is diluted compared to doubles, and Incineroar's base 60 Speed is a severe liability against the Choice Scarf meta. Usage at low ladder inflates the overall number but top-ladder performance is marginal.
Playstyle:Singles Incineroar runs a fragmented item distribution: Sitrus Berry (30.4%), Leftovers (24.6%), Chople Berry (15.6%) for Fighting protection. Parting Shot (21.4%), Flare Blitz (17.4%), Fake Out (11.9%), Darkest Lariat (10.7%) remain the core moves, but without Knock Off or U-turn, its pivot and disruption capabilities are notably reduced. Careful nature with HP/SpD investment (Careful 32/2/0/0/32/0 at 9.4%) reflects a passive-bulk role. Partners Rotom-Wash (4%) and Corviknight (3.1%) indicate a support/cycle orientation rather than an offensive one.
Incineroar is the 6th most-used Pokemon at top doubles ladder (25.93%, 25.36% overall) with 592 tournament appearances and GameWith doubles S tier. Its real tournament usage of 35.3% far exceeds ladder numbers, confirming it as the format's premier support staple. Intimidate on switch-in provides immediate physical damage reduction, and Fake Out + Parting Shot offers unmatched turn control. Win rate of 0.497 reflects its role as a team multiplier rather than a solo carrier.
Playstyle:Doubles Incineroar runs Careful nature with HP/SpD investment (32/0/14/0/20/0 at 3.7%) as the modal spread, prioritizing longevity over offense. Items: Sitrus Berry (42.2%) for sustain, Chople Berry (21.8%) for Fighting protection, Passho Berry (13.1%) for Water coverage. Core moves: Fake Out (24.9%), Parting Shot (24.2%), Flare Blitz (21.6%), Throat Chop (12.3%). Community notes highlight: "Incineroar provides Intimidate and Fake Out as the second support attacker," "pushes through Garchomp-class half-resists with Charcoal Flare Blitz," and "works in concert with Farigiraf + decisive-move chains." Top partners: Sinistcha (9.1%), Garchomp (7%), Floette-Mega (6.9%).
