Incineroar @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 160 SpD
Careful Nature
- Fake Out
- Flare Blitz
- Knock Off
- Parting Shot
Incineroar is back for another championship belt in Doubles OU! Upon switching in, it has an immediate impact with Fake Out and Intimidate, providing a massive amount of disruption. Flare Blitz hits Kingambit and Rillaboom for a sizable amount of damage. Knock Off smacks Indeedee-F, Iron Crown, and Deoxys-A, making it a powerful pick against Psychic-types along with its Expanding Force immunity. Knock Off is also key for removing Clear Amulet, which would otherwise block both Parting Shot and Intimidate. Parting Shot alleviates Incineroar's passivity after its first turn, allowing it to bring in another teammate while debuffing the enemy. The EV spread lets it survive Steam Eruption from Volcanion as well as Tera Water Ivy Cudgel from Ogerpon-W after Intimidate. Tera Water can flip these weaknesses if Incineroar has taken some chip damage, as well as providing a neutrality to threats such as Landorus's Earth Power. Sitrus Berry is chosen to extend its longevity. Incineroar can be a strong pivot on many teams, but it appreciates the healing and Water-type resistance from Grass-type partners such as Amoonguss, Rillaboom, and Sinistcha.
