TF are you talking about???to B
After some discussion in the NU room, I realized how good Incineroar is right now. For one, it's one of the only counters to Vikavolt, being able to switch into the Buginium set. It's also a really good check to Vanilluxe, which is also a huge plus (specs HP Ground does 38% max). It also deals with Rotom-C, checks Slowbro, as well as faces off with Mismagius and Frolass. It can also check Jellicent if weakened. The only reason I wouldn't like it to rise any higher is because it's easily worn down by Rocks, as well as having no recovery. Other than this, Incineroar is a great Pokemon if you keep it healthy. Therefore, Incineroar to B.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Vikavolt Thunderbolt/Bug Buzz vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: 192-226 (48.7 - 57.3%) -- 94.1% chance to 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Vikavolt Thunderbolt/Bug Buzz vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: 192-226 (48.7 - 57.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

That can't switch into either Vikavolt set.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Vanilluxe Hidden Power Ground vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: 140-166 (35.5 - 42.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and hail damage (one switch in if rocks are up)It's also a really good check to Vanilluxe, which is also a huge plus (specs HP Ground does 38% max).
252 SpA Choice Specs Rotom-Mow Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: 139-165 (35.2 - 41.8%) -- 74.6% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock (nice roll, gets one switchin if rocks are up)It also deals with Rotom-C,
+2 252 SpA Mismagius Continental Crush (160 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: 438-516 (111.1 - 130.9%) -- guaranteed OHKOas well as faces off with Mismagius
Please do your math before saying things like this. The only mon you cited that Incineroar can reliably switch in on more than one time if rocks are up is Froslass - a mon which is literally used as a suicide lead to get spikes up in most serious matchups. Frosslass even runs destiny bond and focus sash so its going to get a few layers of spikes up and potentially take down Incineroar with it. Jellicent and Slowbro can fuck Incineroar over with scald or run Colbur Berry to half that damage from Darkest Lairat. Incineroar needs way too much support in both hazard removal as well as the special breakers used more are stronger than the ones used in an earlier metagame where it was better.
