Pokémon is giving away the most powerful ‘mon and it’s perfect for the next competitive season
POKÉMON has just announced its next event, where it will give away the most powerful ‘mon in the game.
With three Pokémon World Championships under its belt, this is the perfect chance to grab one for the next competitive season.
Incineroar has the most competitive wins of any Pokémon in the game, despite being introduced in Generation 7.
Despite only being introduced in Alola, it is used on more than half of competitive teams and has reached highs over 80% at certain points.
What makes Incineroar so good is not just its Intimidate ability, which drops the opponents’ attack when it switches into battle, but it also has an amazing move pool.
With some of the rarest and most valuable moves in the game such as Fake Out, Parting Shot, Will-O-Wisp, and Knock Off, it’s the strongest supportive Pokémon in the game.
Soon everyone will be able to grab an Incineroar that has its ability and stats fixed so that it’s ready for battle.
Pokémon has just changed to Regulation H which means that all Legendary and Paradox Pokémon are not able to compete.
This means starter Pokémon like Incineroar are now some of the strongest in the game.
Incineroar the Unrivaled will appear in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet in seven-star raids for two separate weekends.
It will be available firstly from Friday, September 6, 2024, until Sunday, September 8, 2024, and again from Friday, September 13, 2024, until Sunday, September 15, 2024.
The Incineroar will come with the Hidden Ability Intimidate, which is perfect for competitive play, and the Dark-tera type.
This will power up Incineroar’s Dark-type moves which can make it difficult to defend against.
One Incineroar Tera Raid will be available to players for every day that the events take place.
If you fail the raid, you can still retry it as many times as you like until you defeat it.
Every time you complete the raid you’ll be able to collect a number of valuable rewards like Herba Mystica, Tera Shards, and Nuggets.
However, you’ll only be able to catch one Incineroar no matter how many times you take on the raid.
No Nintendo Switch Online subscription is required if you want to take on the raid alone, however, this can be difficult to do.
With a subscription you’ll have the benefit of being able to take part in the raid with others.
