How One Pokemon Broke The Game... 

Since Incineroar absuses Intimidate, we should replace it with a different ability. I suggest Wonder Guard.

“I bet six incineroar could be any team, m-maybe five incineroar” - Wolfe Glick

Inciniroar being based on the heel/villian wrestler archetype is really fitting since he's kinds the villian of VGC rn

“I hate Incineroar”, I say while adding a new Incineroar poster on top of my Incineroar shrine and Incineroar bodypillow

Incineroar: So, you say both of Urshifu's STABs hit me super effectively? Don't care.

The opening bit 😭😭 Chien Pao MIGHT be cooked guys

He lives up to his concept of a heel wrestler, expect the part where he eventually loses.

Hot take: I F***ing love this stupid cat!! Pokemon design bleeding into gameplay into the most imposing and in-character way possible. Dude is literally a heel in design, in-game, and even in the meta. He's there, he keeps winning, and he revels in the crowd's jeers. "Lol. Willow Wisp. Hold this burn, bozo." Indeed. 😂😂

“Blue-eyes incineroar is not real, he can’t hurt you”

Incineroar is the Sheriff of VGC.

The problem with incineroar is he makes rillaboom look like a balanced starter pokemon.

now I want to know exactly how much prize money Incineroar has been responsible for winning

Incineroar keeps in check all the funny guys who plan on just clicking their moves with ever-creeping damage numbers. I don't know what would we do in an uber meta without it

Isn't Incineroar a wrestling heel? If so, being overwhelming to the point of people hating it sounds very in character.

The problem with incineroar is that Tony the Tiger wants to sue pokemon because of it

We need mega incineroar

Wil-o-wisp to get around Clear Amulet is so sad lol

Kind of insane how well Incineroar adapts the Wresting Heel persona.

You need a fire type? Incineroar You need a dark type? Incineroar You need a fake out user? Incineroar You need an intimidater? Incineroar You need a water type? Tera Water incineroar

The players: Incineroar is too strong. please game freak help us! Game Freak: whats that? The fire cat is on almost every team? Whelp! We better Nerf Greninja!

*metal pipe sound effect*

After years of Incin cope, I realise that there's nothing we can do, so instead of trying to mitigate it, I think we should make the metagame even more messed up. Gamefreak needs to create a SpA dropping variant of Intimidate. Stat drops for everyone, baby.

It was criminal that the intro bit did not had the line "It kinda looks like grandma" in it!

A Pokemon so powerful, it's able to destroy a billion lions

I like it when something's broken not because it just blasts everything else to bits, but because its strategic power lets it bolster pretty much any strategy. Like Treasure Cruise.

Incineroar on his way to have crazy high usage stats every time it becomes legal

I like Incineroar's design (the fire-dark heel cat is just a fun concept) and I think it's neat seeing a starter pokemon be so dominant in competitive. Of course, I am a complete casual that doesn't even play ladder, so I don't have to experience the effects of dealing with it either.

Incineroar is Mahoraga from JJK, it will not stop ADAPTING. The GOAT of VGC!

Nintendo: “Oh, so you need a mega incineroar that doesn’t need a mega stone, understood”

The crazy part is, i don't think we should nerf Incineroar. It has an insane movepool full of supportive options but it's, for the most part, a pretty healthy presence. I like to refer incineroar as "the bullshit ender" because it and mons with redirection is able to snuff out any stupid gimmick BO1 might throw at you

It's appropriate that the single best pokemom is in Smash Bros.

My uncle that works at Pokémon says that Incineroar is going to get a signature move, Fake Rocks, an entry hazard that causes switch ins to lose a turn like they’ve been hit with Fake Out. Also it can’t be removed. Idk sounds like it’ll still need a buff

controversial take: incin is healthy for the newer meta games. it keeps unbelievable threats in check and is basically the only thing that reliably checks (or has checked) xern, zacian, both calyrex and so many more. without it, vgc would be hyper offense and really centralized. correct me if i‘m wrong, but imo incineroar makes many playstyles viable that otherwise wouldn’t

I love my wrestler cat he was my pick before he got his hidden ability. Pretty sure he was a lot of people's picks before they got their hidden ability.

Feels appropriate for the 'Heel' pokémon

"There's no way Incineroar would make it in VGC. It's weak to Groudon's precipice blades, Kyogre's water spout and is neutral to Xerneas' moonblast" Incineroar: "Nah, I'd win"

Incieroar is a prime example of how strong role compression can be. It fulfills multiple roles in a single set: Its decently Bulky, its a fake out user, it deals with Steel and Grass Types, its a damage controler, its a Pivot (even more importantly its a SLOW Pivot) and depending on the generation it can remove Items.

litten was always my favorite gen7 starter, so finding out about the competitive scene years later and learning how broken incineroar is makes me so happy

There is no problem wit he GOAT of VGC

Incineroar was the first Pokémon I ever used in my first game of Sun, and as someone who doesn't play competitive, I love to see my boy absolutely slaying out there. And here I was playing my game with him using 4 fire moves and a dream

They should give incineroar a mega evolution and make its ability a combination of regenerator and intimidate Itd be pretty funny

I feel like Kieran watches this video and got an incineroar in his team, bro’s out for blood

I find it funny how my two favorite startersare broken in some format Blaziken was broken in singles while Incineroar speaks for itself in VGC

New ability just dropped for incineroar called “F*** You”. When incineroar enters the field, it drops all the opponents stats by 6 stages, sets up a belly drum, regenerates incineroar to full, sets up max spikes stealth rocks toxic spikes, leech infestation, burns the opponent, sets up desolate land, gives it sturdy and wonderguard, gives it stab on all moves, Huge Power, Good as Gold, Unseen Fist, Intimidate, protect never fails, neutralizing has for only opponents (but toggleable for regigigas), all items only apply buffs (ie choice items don’t lock moves), Harvest but 100% of the time, effects of mirror white mental herbs, regenerator bit to full HP, allows grass types to be hit by spore, all status can be applied on a Pokémon at all times, give opponents toxic, paralysis, sleep, freeze, frostbite, stops ghost types from switching, applies bind magmastorm whirlpool etc. able to use Z-moves on all turns without holding z crystal, tablets beads vessel sword of ruin on only opponents, friend guard, sets up aroura veil, multiscale for every turn, priority on all moves, makes all moves never miss, technician but works for moves up to 1000 BP, max evasion and drops accuracy of opponent to minimum, no EV limit, and why not, give it ball fetch.

I always nickname my incineroar "Win-cineroar"

As much as I hate intimidate I’d say the best way to nerf Incineroar is to give it more competition by buffing other intimidate users

I really like that incineroar went with the whole villain wrestler even in real life. They are opressive in VGC and like it, but they don't do it in a lame way, it's like they are a villain that keeps looking for ways to mess with the hero, while keeping things interesting. It's almost like an act that they are really into and that Game Freak doesn't really want to burst their bubble, and I love it.

People : "Why do you like Incineroar? He's a fuckin' menance!" Me : "He got tha dripp, i don't care for anything else"

Incineroar doesn't kill you, (usually) he wiggles his finger at you from behind his intimidate going "no no no"

I love that one of the greatest competitive Pokémon is a starter from 2 generations ago.

Wake up, babe, Moxie just posted his bi-weekly Incineroar video

Incineroar is the best representation of wrestler in a tag team match

Incineroar was my first starter so…

I love your thumbnails so much.

Wait, Zamazenta is a good mon now? Damn... Good for him honestly. He deserves it after getting so thoroughly overshadowed by his sister in gen 8.

"Personally? I love 'em. He's super cool." Wolfe Glick would like to know your location.

Removing Fake Out, Roar, and Parting Shot from its movepool would be a good way to balance it out.

Ah, 2020. I returned to the game that year with all my time at home. I saw your control team video and used incineroar ever since.

It's crazy how gamefreak traded knock off and close combat for parting shot on incineroar in gen 8, then it was overpowered, so in gen 9 they gave it knock off and close combat back and gave it helping hand as well cause why not

Cover the Rise of Zamazenta and Regidrago and what made them surpass their counterparts

Bro 29 sec ago, I'm spawn camping this vid

That opener was gold

I was driving while listening to this and at multiple cases I thought there was a siren going on and pulled over only to realize it’s the mf video lol

Three Pokémon I hate most: - Miltank (sausage nipples) - Incineroar (effing cat is too busted) - Toxapex (bc of all the poison stall teams in Showdown)

I think it's so interesting. A Mon that is so meta warping, yet at the same time is the glue that holds it all together. Reminds me of Gen 2 Lax on a smaller scale. Centralizing, but also manageable?

Blastoize : allow me to introduce myself I AM YOUR END

Litten was my first gen 7 starter and Incin was my fav fully evolved mon of the three, it's just nice seeing one of your favourites being an absolute menace

how fitting for the Heel pokemon to be so universally acclaimed, and by many despised.

0:30 Drowned in pain, I lost my mind There's no good or bad in there

Incineroar is the definition of the perfect Pokémon, if an offensive pokémon was op you can bring a counter, if a defensive one controlled the meta you can bring a wallbracker. but a supporting pokemon is impossible to fully counter, because you can just not bring him, because he's not your win condition if you dedicated an answer for him and didn't appear you're pretty much screwed. You need to fear and respect his existence, he is the one in charge of the battle.

Incineroar does warp the meta around him, but i think its in a way like max c does in yugioh, its mere presence and ability to loom over so many pokemon that would otherwise be unstoppable, creates a more diverse meta, and as he fits into so many teams, he just gives more agency to express player skill, and preparation.

Someone should do the math on how much money Incin has actually made. That would be actually dope

I love seeing this because he was my favorite starter for that gen.

Incineroar is also a fun character in Smash Bros

Gen 9 gave him helping hand too

I knew my funny little cat was destined for war crimes

I love Incin so much. I was so excited when I saw him in the leaks with all the Alolan starters concept art years ago before Sun and Moon released and he's one of the only pokemon in my favs who are actually genuinely amazing, no silly gimmick or minor niche, just actually insanely good. I feel like he will eventually get nerfed, but for me personally he could stay this strong forever and I'd never complain.

When I built my team for the climb to Master Rank, I used a bunch of Pokémon that worked well alongside my Dialga, but far and away the best pairing I found was my Incineroar, Mr. VGC, who basically is an amazing partner for _literally everyone on the team_ due solely to his support options. He’s a Support with the moveset Flare Blitz, Fake Out, Parting Shot, and Helping Hand (so more offensively orientated, which works for my team). I have had a win happen solely due to Incineroar surviving a +1 Tera Fairy (was a turn one braindead play) Calyrex Shadow Astral Barrage, using what little health he had to pivot out into Dialga, allowing him to provide Fake Out Pressure on the next turn so Dialga could safely secure the game with Trick Room. Dude is OP, but like, in a good way. Incineroar is basically a glue that holds together entire teams due to how versatile it is.

THAT INTRO 😂😂😂

You know what the bigger problem is with Incineroar? How do you even fix the problem if it even can be considered one. Take away parts of his kit and he'll find a niche. Introduce a better Incineroar and the problem gets worse. Introduce a Pokemon that can do aspects of his kit better but not all at once and people will still use him just because he could do a multi-role check. You just can't win.

As an Incineroar main in Smash Bros Ultimate, I feel a little biased when I say I love the funny fire cat.

I didn't care about Incin at first in Sun and Moon, I didn't necessarily hate his design like everyone else, but I also wasn't the biggest fan of it. But it grew on me, and not only is it my favorite Fire starter, but I use this mfer in Smash Bros. a lot. I love this stupid, wrestle cat, creature thing. Way before it even got Intimidate

Gen 9 also gave it Helping Hand, just in case it didn't have enough support move options available to it

I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE BRO WAS MEWING IN THE THUMBNAIL 😭😭😭

Perfectly balance in my book.

So, my first exposure to Incineroar was in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and in that game Incen *is* a one-shot machine, so I found the fact that he was broken in Pokémon for completely different reasons extremely funny.

The thing is that incin is the excuse gift fr gf for making power creep

Incineroar heard Jevil saying "I can do anything" and said "He just like me fr"

That Intro brought me life :)

Besides Ting-lu's ability(kinda), there's no sp.atk "intimidate" that competes for viability. Im curious if GF would put something like this in the game, either by a new mon or reworking abilities on previous mons.

Wolfey has made this exact video like 5 times lmao

They should give it wide guard, follow me, crafty shield and quick guard next

Ma there’s a stray cat outside get the galar-zapdos

Thank you being so kind all mighty loving God help me and help me and these people to better understand to you amnen

Incen the GOAT!!!! Been the GOAT since it introduction back in gen 7.

Incineroar may be the Heel, but he is the Hero we need against Power Creep.

Me forgetting Chien Pao vs Incineroar are cats. Them: you will suffer mortal

Incineroar's most powerful tool in it's kit is how deceptive it is. You don't really expect Fire to be a good defensive type, but it actually is the type with the second most resistances in the game. You don't expect Base 90 to be that great for defense, but with it's high HP and Intimidate, it is. You don't expect a Pokemon built like a bulky attacker to have utility, but it does. The problem with Incineroar is that everything that you think it can't do, it can and does.

I think it needs more moves, maybe something like ceaseless edge

could you make a video on how a special version of intimidate would effect the game? (Lowers both foes spatk)
