Battle notes

  • Incineroar's Fire / Dark typing is best attacked with Water (2x), Fighting (2x), Ground (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
  • Avoid relying on common Psychic, Fire, Grass, Ice attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Incineroar resists or ignores those matchups.
  • This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.
