Alolan Whip (ロープスイング, Rope Swing) is Incineroar's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
Incineroar dashes forwards with its arms extended. If it grabs an opponent, a set of wrestling ring ropes rise up behind it (at about the distance the dash travels), and it throws the victim into the ropes. The victim is rebounded off the ropes and back towards Incineroar, where it performs one of three attacks on them depending on if and when the special button was pressed during the move.
If the special button was not pressed by the time the victim collides with Incineroar, the move "fails" and both the victim and Incineroar will take minor damage from the collision. If the special button is pressed any time after the grab, but before the collision, Incineroar will perform a back body drop, which launches the opponent vertically. If the special button is pressed just as the victim collides with Incineroar, it will perform a clothesline with powerful horizontal knockback.
If the victim does not collide with Incineroar (e.g. due to being hit out of the move by another player), the move ends with Incineroar shrugging towards the screen.
Origin
Although this move does not exist in the Pokémon games, it is based on a real wrestling move, the Irish whip. The move is named after the Irish whip and the Alola region, from which Incineroar hails.
Trivia
- This is the first Pokémon special move to be a move original to Smash Bros.
- This is not counting Thunder Jolt, which, while not in the main series games, was in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
