Incineroar

Incineroar is the team's utility backbone, bringing Intimidate on switch-in to drop physical attack across the field. Fake Out gives a free flinch turn to set up Tailwind or Mega Evolution for Lucario. Snarl cuts the special attack of opposing threats like Hatterene and Reuniclus that resist physical pressure. Darkest Lariat ignores stat changes, handling opponents that attempt to set up defensive buffs. Flare Blitz provides STAB coverage into grass and ice types. Sitrus Berry compensates for Flare Blitz recoil and general chip damage, keeping Incineroar available for multiple Intimidate cycles.
