Super Smash Bros. series[]
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]
Incineroar first appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character. It has also been revealed that Unshō Ishizuka had been recording his lines as Incineroar in Japanese, prior to his passing in August of 2018.
Trivia[]
- Incineroar shares the same type combination with Houndour and Houndoom but in reverse as a Fire/Dark type Pokémon.
- Incineroar continues the trend of Fire-type starters being based on animals from the twelve-year Chinese Zodiac, with Incineroar representing the Year of the Tiger.
- Incineroar is the third consecutive Fire-type starter to begin as a quadruped but evolve into a biped in its final stage (unlike Pignite and Braixen however, Torracat is still a quadruped).
- Upon its initial leakage to the media Incineroar was negatively received by the fanbase, due to the fact that three starters already were fire/Fighting-types and was seen to be clichè. The concerns were put to rest upon its official trailer reveal, confirming it to be a dark-type instead.
- An image arose comparing Incineroar's design to Kane, a famous WWE wrestler.
- In the in-game animations, Incineroar releases its fire attacks from its belt as opposed to its mouth in its previous evolutions.
- Incineroar is the second Pokémon character in Super Smash Bros. to not introduce a new type as the fire-type was already used by Charizard and the dark-type was already used by Greninja.
- The first Pokémon character to do this was Pichu, as Pikachu had already had the Electric-type.
- Incineroar is the only starter evolution that has a base stat lower than its pre-evolution (its Speed is lower than Torracat and Litten).
Origin[]
Incineroar is based on a tiger and a wrestler, specifically that of a heel, or a villain role wrestler. Its appearance also draws similarities to the popular manga character Tiger Mask, who was also a heel wrestler, and to Japanese mythological interpretations of tigers, as some were depicted in tiger and dragon fighting motifs as being bipedal and standing upright like a human.
Its shiny form is based on Lucha Libre heels, or rudos, who are often themed in demonic and skeletal motifs, as well as a white tiger, hence to the its Chinese Zodiac motifs for being a Fire-Starter Pokémon.
Etymology[]
Incineroar is most likely a combination of incinerate (to burn) and roar (the sound a tiger makes).
