Darkest Lariat

==Overview==

Darkest Lariat consists of Incineroar rapidly performing 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 possesses [[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 it, Incineroar can also move along the ground, albeit slowly, similarly to the grounded versions of [[Spinning Kong]] and [[Mach Tornado]]. Additionally, it can ~~stall~~ Incineroar's ~~fall in the~~ air 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.
