Incineroar (ガオガエン, Gaogaen) is a fictional creature from the Pokémon series. It debuted in the series' seventh generation.
Creature description
Incineroar is a bipedal tiger-like Pokémon, sharing some traits with a heel in professional wrestling. It evolves from Torracat, and is the final evolution of Litten, the Fire-type starter of the Alola region. Its official Pokédex entry classifies it as the Heel Pokémon. Incineroar is Fire/Dark-type with a size of 5'11" and a weight of 183.0 lbs.. Along with its pre-evolutions', its main battle Ability, Blaze, grants it the ability to amplify the power of its Fire-type attacks when its health is low, while its Hidden Ability is Intimidate, which decreases the opponent's Attack when it enters battle. Its stats are high all around, with the exception of its poor Speed.
In the Pokémon anime, Incineroar appears as the main Pokémon of Professor Kukui in his Masked Royal persona. It developed a rivalry with Ash's Torracat and is shown to be incredibly powerful in battle.

Incineroar is set to be an unlockable newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was reveled in the Nintendo Direct on November 1st alongside Ken & Piranha Plant.
