Incineroar is a bulky pivot that uses its good defensive typing, defenses that are bolstered by Assault Vest, and Intimidate to allow its teammates to switch in safely as well as being a check to Pokemon such as Calyrex-S, Zacian-C, and Rillaboom. U-turn allows Incineroar to switch out and get more use out of Intimidate and Fake Out. Assault Vest lets Incineroar survive attacks such as Ursaluna-B's Tera Normal Blood Moon and Pelipper's Weather Ball at the cost of not being able to use common moves like Parting Shot, Will-O-Wisp, and Taunt. The defensive EVs allow Incineroar to take Choice Specs Miraidon's Electro Drift, Landorus's Earth Power, and Mienshao's Close Combat, as well as Calyrex-I's Glacial Lance after Incineroar Terastallizes.Tera Grass lets Incineroar resist moves such as the former two's STAB attacks as well as Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes, which lets Incineroar remove their items with Knock Off or bring in teammate with U-turn while making Incineroar immune to Amoonguss's Spore and Rage Powder.
Incineroar struggles against Pokemon that can threaten it with super effective damage and ignore Intimidate such as Urshifu-R, Koraidon, Landorus, and Pelipper, with the latter three still hitting it super effectively after it Terastallizes. Partners like Miraidon and Lunala can help against Pokemon that threaten Incineroar such as Urshifu-R, Pelipper, and Landorus. Incineroar pairs well with Pokemon like Miraidon that benefit from being able to pivot and can make sure that Electric Terrain is active. Incineroar also uses Flare Blitz to threaten Grass-types like Rillaboom and Amoonguss that resist Miriadon's STAB Electric-type moves. Lunala is another strong partner for Incineroar, as Fake Out can help Lunala set up Trick Room while Incineroar can help strong Trick Room sweepers such as Ursaluna switch in safely. Incineroar also threatens Calyrex-S, which Lunala otherwise struggles against, with Knock Off.
