Max Malicious Moonsault (ハイパーダーククラッシャー改, Hyper Dark Crusher Modified) is Incineroar's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
Incineroar rushes forward and grabs an opponent. If it connects, Incineroar will throw its opponent into a wrestling ring and assault them with an uppercut, a dropkick and another uppercut before hitting them with a diving battering ram, the latter of which causes a giant explosion upon landing on the wrestling ring. According to Masahiro Sakurai, Max Malicious Moonsault is even faster and fiercer than the Z-Move it is based on. While the move can only connect on a single opponent, its fiery explosion will damage anyone caught in the blast radius after the cutscene has ended.
Origin
Z-Moves are a mechanic introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. They are an exceptionally powerful variant of the move they are based on. To use a Z-Move, a Pokémon must be holding the Z-Crystal corresponding to the type of intended move, and their trainer must have a Z-Ring or Z-Power Ring. All Pokémon are capable of using type-dependent Z-Moves, but a select group of Pokémon have signature Z-Moves.
Malicious Moonsault is a Dark-type Z-Move exclusive to Incineroar, which acts as a powered-up version of its signature move, Darkest Lariat. Upon activation, Incineroar summons a wrestling ring underneath the target. It then charges toward the ring, leaps onto one of its top turnbuckles, uses its flame belt to engulf itself in flames, and then performs a 450° splash that generates a massive explosion that engulfs the ring. Its base power is 180, although its damage output is doubled if the target has used Minimize. Like other Z-Moves, it has only 1 Power Point (PP).
When initiating the attack, the Incinium Z will flash on the screen. This reflects how it, along with other Z-Crystals, shows on-screen in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon when the Z-Move is activated.

Trivia
Contrary to its English name, Max Malicious Moonsault does involve a moonsault whatsoever. Rather, it concludes with a diving battering ram. This also applies to the Z-Move it is based on, which is a 450° splash.
