Incineroar (Japanese: ガオガエン Gaogaen) is a dual-type Fire/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves from Torracat starting at level 34. It is the final form of Litten.

Contents

Biology

Incineroar is a bipedal, feline Pokémon with a muscular build. It has a short snout with a small red nose, bright green eyes with yellow sclerae, and tiny, pointed ears. Large tufts of red fur extend from its cheeks, and much of its face is also red. The upper half of its muzzle and the top and back of its head are black. A thin red stripe runs vertically along its head to its snout, where it splits into a V-shape over its eyes. Its torso is gray with several black stripes and seems to resemble a wrestler tank-top; the front and back both have a single vertical stripe up the center, crossed by two horizontal lines. Around Incineroar's waist is a belt formed from flames that somewhat resembles a championship wrestling belt. In the front center is a small, yellow flame shape. The arms, legs, and tail are all red with black stripes forming bands around them. The arms have three stripes, spiky tufts of black fur over the shoulders, and large five-fingered hands with white claws and a single light red pad on the palm. Its legs have only two stripes and simple three-toed paws, and the tail has one stripe and a tuft of spiky black fur around the tip.

Incineroar's flame belt is produced from within its body and burst from its navel and waist as its fighting spirit rises. This Pokémon disregards the safety of its opponents and onlookers, sometimes striking the opposing Trainer with attacks. It is a violent Pokémon, and will sometimes ignore its Trainer's orders when it is not in the mood to listen. Incineroar prefers a challenging opponent, and its strong sense of honor stops it from taking on weaker or injured opponents. In addition to spewing fire from its navel, it uses ferocious kicks and punches. Incineroar's fighting spirit either increases or falters depending on the crowd's level of excitement. It reserves its soft side for children and young Pokémon.

Incineroar is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Darkest Lariat and the exclusive Z-Move Malicious Moonsault. For a brief time, Throat Chop was also its signature move.

Major appearances

Incineroar in the anime

Professor Kukui's Incineroar

Incineroar made its main series debut in Pushing the Fiery Envelope!, under the ownership of the Masked Royal, who uses it for Battle Royal competitions. It developed a rivalry with Ash's Litten and was eventually used in a battle against it. Though Litten evolved into a Torracat, Incineroar still won the battle. It has since made further appearances in the Sun & Moon series.

Other

Incineroar debuted in I Choose You!, under the ownership of Cross. It was used in two battles against Cross's former Charmeleon, which was now under the ownership of Ash; Incineroar emerged victorious in the first battle, but lost in the rematch when Charmeleon evolved into Charizard.

Game data

Pokédex entries

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation VII.

Generation VII Sun This Pokémon has a violent, selfish disposition. If it's not in the mood to listen, it will ignore its Trainer's orders with complete nonchalance. Moon After hurling ferocious punches and flinging furious kicks, it finishes opponents off by spewing fire from around its navel. Ultra Sun Although it's rough mannered and egotistical, it finds beating down unworthy opponents boring. It gets motivated for stronger opponents. Ultra Moon When its fighting spirit is set alight, the flames around its waist become especially intense.

Trivia

• Official confidential art featuring Decidueye, Incineroar, Primarina, and Mallow was leaked on the Internet on June 4, 2016. This leak happened 145 days before these Pokémon were officially revealed on October 27, 2016. From the leaked material, it is known that Incineroar's code name was "トラ 3", or "Tiger 3" during development.
• Incineroar is the only evolution of a starter Pokémon to have a lower base stat than its pre-evolved forms. Its base Speed is 30 points lower than Torracat's and 10 points lower than Litten's.

Origin

Incineroar is based on a tiger. It also shares elements with a professional wrestler. In addition, its category and secondary Dark type bring to mind a heel, a wrestler who embodies vice, in contrast to a face, who embodies virtue.

Name origin

Incineroar is a combination of incinerate and roar.

Gaogaen may be a combination of ガオー gao (the sound of a roar) and 火炎 kaen (flame).
