Incineroar @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Bulk Up
- Power Trip
- Flame Charge

Thanks to its great natural defensive presence combined with dual screens support, Incineroar can easily set up Substitute and boost its stats with Bulk Up and Flame Charge to become one of the most terrifying setup sweepers on hyper offense teams. While Flame Charge prevents Pokemon like Sceptile and Passimian from outspeeding and revenge killing +2 Incineroar, Bulk Up and dual screens let Incineroar take strong hits from Pokemon like Rhydon and Aerodactyl as well as Slowking, activating Weakness Policy and giving Power Trip a huge power boost. A dual screens setter such as Xatu or Electrode is mandatory to pair with this set, as Incineroar otherwise has difficulty safely activating Weakness Policy. Other setup sweepers like Comfey, Vivillon, and Mismagius also synergize well with Incineroar, with Vivillon in particular being helpful to pressure Rock-types such as Rhydon, Aerodactyl, and Regirock with Energy Ball and Sleep Powder.

While Flame Charge prevents Pokemon like Sceptile and Passimian scarf pass still outpaces you, if you wana keep pass in (which is understandable) you'd probably need to expand more on this. and sceptile outspeeds you at +1 (360 vs 372). clarify you would need +2 to outpace either of these from outspeeding and revenge killing Incineroar, the combination of Bulk Up and dual screens lets Incineroar take strong hits from Pokemon like Rhydon and Aerodactyl, activating Weakness Policy and giving Power Trip a huge power boost. A dual screens setter such as Xatu or Electrode is mandatory to pair with this set, as Incineroar otherwise has difficulty activating Weakness Policy. Other setup sweepers like Comfey, Vivillon, and Mismagius also synergize well with Incineroar, with Vivillon in particular being helpful to pressure Rock-types such as Rhydon, Aerodactyl, and Regirock mention it can put them to sleep or hit them with eball since someone who doesn't play nu won't understand how a bug flying type pressures rock types.

try and mention how with screen support you can also setup on stuff like slowking since you've only really mentioned and repeated rock types
1/1 once done, msg on disc once implemented
