Incineroar + Garchomp

pivot pressure core

Usage rate
11.6%

Synergy

Incineroar buys Garchomp safe turns with Intimidate, Fake Out and Parting Shot, while Garchomp threatens both slots with Ground spread damage and Rock coverage.

Weaknesses

  • Wide Guard
  • Bulky Water types
  • Fairy pressure

How to use it

Use Incineroar to deny a key turn or lower physical damage, then bring Garchomp in through Parting Shot. Choose Earthquake only when your partner is protected or immune; otherwise use single-target Ground pressure.

How to beat it

Make Garchomp respect Fairy and Water coverage, use Wide Guard against its spread turns, and avoid giving Incineroar free pivot cycles. The board position matters more than the pairing alone.
