Incineroar has quietly become one of the most valuable Fire-types in Pokémon GO and a staple of competitive doubles thanks to its Intimidate-like utility and bulk. This guide covers its best moveset, how to use it in raids and PvP, and how to get and evolve Litten.
Incineroar Typing and Stats
Incineroar is a Fire/Dark dual-type. In Pokémon GO its stats sit at roughly 214 Attack, 175 Defense, 285 Stamina — bulky enough to survive a hit but strong enough to deal real damage. It is weak to Water, Fighting, Rock and Ground and resists Fire, Grass, Ice, Dark, Ghost and Psychic.
| Use Case | Fast Move | Charged Move |
|---|---|---|
| Raids (DPS) | Fire Fang | Blast Burn (legacy) / Flamethrower |
| PvP (Great League) | Snarl | Darkest Lariat / Fire Blast |
| PvP (Ultra League) | Snarl | Darkest Lariat / Crunch |
Best Moveset for Incineroar in Pokemon GO
Snarl + Darkest Lariat is the PvP core. Snarl generates energy quickly, and Darkest Lariat hits hard on a cheap cost. Add Blast Burn if you have the legacy Community Day move; otherwise Flamethrower is a fine substitute for raid damage. Fire Fang is the better fast move when you just want raw DPS in raids.
Incineroar in PvP
Incineroar thrives in Great League as a safe-swap and in Ultra League as a bulky closer. Its Fire/Dark typing checks Psychic and Ghost staples, and its resistance to Dark makes it a strong answer to Umbreon. Pair it with a Water-type answer like Lapras-style bulky checks and a Fairy-type for Fighting coverage.
How to Get and Evolve Litten into Incineroar
Litten is a Fire-type starter originally from Alola. Evolve it into Torracat at 25 candies, then into Incineroar at 100 candies. Litten appears during events and Fire-type spotlights — watch our Spotlight Hour schedule for the next opportunity.
Is Incineroar Worth Building?
Yes — if you need a bulky Fire/Dark pivot for PvP, Incineroar is one of the best options available and is far easier to build than a legendary. For raids it is outclassed by dedicated attackers like Reshiram and Chandelure, so keep your Incineroar for PvP where its bulk and typing shine.
