Pokémon pros say Incineroar is ‘healthy’ for Scarlet and Violet meta despite bad reputation

Incineroar has historically been one of the best Pokémon in VGC and this trend continued at the Europe International Championships (EUIC) this week, where it was the most-used Pokémon once more. Despite this, the pros said the cat is healthy for the meta even if the community is hating its dominance.

To no one’s surprise, Incineroar was sitting at the top of the EUIC usage chart with 43 percent of competitors bringing it on day one and 51.7 percent bringing it on day two according to The Pokémon Company. The Fire/Dark-type Starter isn’t a super offensive Pokémon, though. Rather, it’s Incineroar’s utility that makes it the perfect support ‘mon to add to any team. The cat can seemingly do it all—flinch opponents, lower their stats, and cycle in and out of battle more efficiently than the average ‘mon.
