After all the consideration, Sakurai selected Incineroar because Sakurai has done a pro-boxer and martial artist character before, who was [[Little Mac]] for the boxer and [[Ryu]] for the martial arts master, but he thought he had never added a professional wrestler before, Decidueye cannot wrestle people, however, on the other hand, Incineroar can do it, so Sakurai ultimately replaced Decidueye with Incineroar completely.<ref>[https://twitter.com/AllSourceGaming/status/1062726902341746691 Source Gaming on Twitter: "Sakurai wanted to pick a newcomer to represent content from a newer game.

 Fitting its wrestler concept, Incineroar is a super heavyweight that possesses several heavily damaging moves, powerful throws and even the ability to strike interruptible poses upon successfully using a move.<ref name=Debut/> These traits are supplemented by its overall frame data being average, which is atypical of a super heavyweight and even some heavyweights. However, Incineroar is burdened with very slow overall mobility and, by extension, a lack of any strong approach options.
