'''Darkest Lariat''' ({{ja|ＤＤラリアット|DD Rariatto}}, ''DD Lariat'') is | '''Darkest Lariat''' ({{ja|ＤＤラリアット|DD Rariatto}}, ''DD Lariat'') is [[Incineroar]]'s [[neutral special move]]. | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Darkest Lariat is a move | Darkest Lariat is a move where Incineroar rapidly performs a series of [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Discus|discus]] [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Lariat|lariats]]. Its early hit is powerful — even being a KO option with or without [[Revenge]] — but weakens over time with its gradually changing hitboxes. Due to the way the hitboxes work, however, the move will always poke or break [[shield]]s unless the opponent [[perfect shield]]s or dodges the last hit. As a result, the move is relatively safe to use as a shield pressure tool. It can also be used after hitting shield with an aerial to guard against slow [[out of shield]] options. | ||
It can also [[trample]] throughout its duration, beating out many moves and thus making it a prime defensive option. It comes out on frame 5, with [[invincibility]] on Incineroar's whole body from frames 5-6, but only if used on the ground. After this, the head and arms become invincible for a frame, before it remains on the arms until frame 57, allowing it to completely negate weak projectiles and out-prioritize attacks without sufficient reach. However, while it is strong as a defensive option, the committal nature makes it extremely punishable against a prepared opponent. It is also vulnerable to moves with [[armor]] or [[disjoint]]s. | |||
While using Darkest Lariat, Incineroar can also move along the ground, albeit slowly, similarly to the grounded versions of [[Spinning Kong]] and [[Mach Tornado]]. Additionally, it can slow Incineroar's [[air speed]] while being able to move as well, making it a niche [[recovery]] option. It can also be used when running off the ledge as an [[edgeguard]]ing option against poor recoveries. | |||

Darkest Lariat is a Dark-type move introduced in ''Pokémon Sun and Moon'', and | Darkest Lariat is a [[bulbapedia:Dark (type)|Dark-type]] move introduced in ''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'', and was Incineroar's {{s|bulbapedia|signature move}}; in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sword and Shield|''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Shield'']], this move was made available to more Pokémon via TR93. It has 85 base power, ignores all changes to the opponent's Defense and Evasion stats, and can be upgraded into the {{s|bulbapedia|Z-Move}} [[bulbapedia:Malicious Moonsault (move)|Malicious Moonsault]] while Incineroar holds {{s|bulbapedia|Incinium Z}}. | ||
Darkest Lariat's properties bear a major resemblance to — and are likely directly inspired by — the Double Lariat, an attack originated by {{s|wikipedia|Mike Haggar}} from the ''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fight}}'' series, itself based on the Discus Lariat, a move involing extending one's arms and spinning in place used by many professional wrestlers. However, the move has been adopted and is arguably more commonly associated with {{s|wikipedia|Zangief}} from the {{uv|Street Fighter}} series. When explaining the move, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] compared Incineroar to a "Red Cyclone", which is a reference to Zangief's nickname. While extremely limited in combat effectiveness, the Discus Lariat's dramatic and flashy nature makes it great for a big moment that excites a crowd. | |||
