How? Look at Typhlosion, Meganium, Samurott, the non-Mega Kanto starters, Emboar, Delphox, Sceptile, Swampert, Torterra, and arguably Chesnaught (it's RU now), and then we'll talk.

Alola starters are better than the majority of other starters, and most mons in competitive in general. And they'll be even better, especially in doubles, once Shillcat gets his HA.

I thought this was a shitpost, but you genuinely look like you need help.

1. Get it out of your head that balanced stats are what you want. It's the exact opposite of what you want. You either want to max out your 2 best stats (252/252/4 spread) or distribute between usually at most 3 stats (ex ferrothorns 252HP/168Def/88SpD investment).

2. As you're aware, Incineroar is ass in competitive. If you're still hellbent on using it, doubles probably is the place.

3. I'd suggest Flare Blitz, Fake Out, Darkest Lariat, and Protect. I'd either do 252HP/252Atk/4Spe with Assault Vest or Sitrus Berry, or 4HP/252Atk/252Spe with Darkium or Firium Z. Either way, run Adamant.

Smogon and nuggetbridge in general have tons of guides on learning most of the basics of set and teambuilding. Just look for more if you need more help.

>>32415037
Kings Rock stacks multiplicatuvely with Flinching moves. So 10% bonus to Bite is 1.3*1.1 or 33%. Kings Rock isn't viable except with multihit moves.

>>32415065
You're better off fully commiting to one thing or another. Your spread would effectively be bad at everything, rather than at least trying to be good at something.
>>
>>32415226

probably that's why some mons have shitty def/sp. def and maximized atk and speed, the problem is they easily die... so stop telling me bullshit, incineroar have the same def and sp. def as mewtwo and I think it's just good to bulk him little more, because it's atk plus stab ect. is enough, the only problem is how to balance it
>>
>>32415284
It's not bullshit, what that anon said is true, jack of all trades master of none are generally bad, they can't perform any specific role and have no identity whatsoever, that's why you should invest only in 2 or 3 stats, to capitalize on a build that can preform a specific role, for example if you're doing tailwind support, you can run adamant max attack, and invest 168 EVs in speed to outspeed tapu koko under tailwind, rest of the EVs go into HP to maximize bulk.
>>
>>32415284
Max HP gives you better overall bulk than splitting defenses. Since Max HP only leaves you 256 points left to work with, that usually means you're best off putting 252 into one stat (attack in this case) and 4 into whatever (usually a defense or speed).

Proof:
252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spe Assault Vest:
252 Atk Manaphy Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Incineroar: (60.9 - 72%)
252 SpA Manaphy Surf vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: (45.6 - 53.8%)


Your spread: (0HP/92Def/216SpD)
252 Atk Manaphy Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 92 Def Incineroar: 218-258 (65.8 - 77.9%)
252 SpA Manaphy Surf vs. 0 HP / 216 SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: 144-170 (43.5 - 51.3%)

Despite running 48 more EVs defensively than 252 HP, you're taking around 7% physically frailer while only 2.5% specially bulkier. If you "really need" that 2.5%, you could adjust to a spread of:

252HP/216Atk/40SpD Adamant, which lands you at:

252 SpA Manaphy Surf vs. 252 HP / 40 SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: (43.1 - 51.7%)

Which is effectively the same amount of special bulk for 8 less EVs, more physical bulk, and more attacking power.

If you wondering about speed: Incineroar does not have the Uber legendary BST to be fast, bulky, and strong all at once, so you really need to pick two and stick with it.

For three turns against anything that doesn't have priority or a choice scarf and doesn't just kill it on the switch.

I haven't played much of UU this gen but last gen at least Empoleon and Infernape were both great UU mons with a small niche in OU, and Feraligatr was one of the best Dragon Dancers in the tier. It's true that on most teams they're not as good as Venusaur/Greninja/Zard but they have their place.

Empoleon and Infernape are still good in UU, I just found it odd that you didn't mention Primarina, or Mega-Blastoise for that matter, when they are on par/better than those two.

>>32415801
I completely understand that you're trying to do something new and unique but you simply don't understand EVs. There are almost no mons that will benefit from having their EVs spread over 5 of their stats, it's just a complete waste of some where it could benefit others.

Sure I could give my greninja a defensive spread because it's so fragile, but it's not gonna change anything, it might take a few less percent every once in a while, but I'm not gonna notice it because I'm also doing so much less attack damage now.

Learn incineroars stats and what he's good at and build him around something he's good at. Also movesets are very important in making a mon unique but you also have to understand that all pokemon can learn moves that are completely useless to them, and your incineroar knows one.

Oh hey look, you're finally getting somewhere, I put a fire type move instead of facade, Incineroar is immune to burns, so it doesn't matter, and flare blitz is stronger anyways even if you're have a status, also you can replace protect with fake out, and finally I suggest dumbing all the defense EVs into HP, it's bulkier that way instead of splitting between the defenses.

>because I want make it good in every stat that is good for this mon, this is strategy game
But it's bad strategy.
Take Weavile for instance. Nobody invests defense into Weavile because that's not Weavile's fucking job. Weavile's job is to hit as hard and fast as possible, and people run 252/252 Jolly to make it as good at that job as possible, and just because it might occasionally take 97% from a Bullet Punch instead of 100% with some defense investment does not mean that it's worth gimping the important stats to do that.
If you want an example of a good, well thought out balanced EV spread, look at Gliscor's page. This is a good EV spread because there's logic behind it. 244 HP is to get the most out of Poison Heal, the 96 Spe is to outspeed Tapu Bulu, and the leftovers go into Special Defense because out of its four remaining stats, that's the one it benefits the most from. There's a lot to be said for creativity and originality, sure, but there's just as much to be said about logic and consistency.
>>
>>32416450

And using Weavile is a bad example to use. Its defenses are crap to begin with. Of course you will focus on attack and speed.

With incineroar he is more balanced in his stats. He is micromanaging the pokemon on specifics.

>With incineroar he is more balanced in his stats. He is micromanaging the pokemon on specifics.
Gliscor is the same way. That's why I mentioned it. He could also look at Ferrothorn, Volcarona, Mega Venusaur, and Mega Scizor for good balanced spreads. The problem with the Incineroar spread is they're just distributed randomly in an even-ish manner with no thought put into it. And I know he's not putting any thought into it because he keeps moving the Speed EVs around and that's the stat where having a very specific value is really, really important

>>32416497

Yes you did and I agree with you about Gliscor and the other mons you mentioned.

But unless he is scarfing his Incineroar there is no need to max out his speed. He might only be looking to outspeed certain mons.

Of course it does depend what format he is running too. Not sure if this is for singles doubles or what.

If that was what he was doing, that would be fine. But it's not what he's doing.
Look at this one for example. >>32416399
There's lots of pokemon that go for a specific value to outspeed a particular pokemon, but I can't figure out why exactly he went with 96 evs. Why 180? Why is 179 too slow but 181 is unnecessary? Where's the logic behind it?

I'm genuinely trying to help you here, so please listen.
252 SpA Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Incineroar: 169-201 (42.8 - 51%) -- 3.9% chance to 2HKO
252 SpA Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 128 SpD Incineroar: 148-175 (44.7 - 52.8%) -- 26.6% chance to 2HKO
Investing EVs in HP instead of Defense or Special Defense will give you overall better mixed bulk than splitting your EVs between two defenses. Thought the difference may not appear large based on the calculations, believe it or not it does add up, and even if it is a small difference, it still doesn't make sense for you to go with an objectively inferior layout for no reason..
This is doubly true when you are using a recoil move like Flare Blitz. When you take recoil damage, it does not matter if you have 5 defense or 500; the damage you take is dependent entirely how much damage you deal to the opponent. However, with HP investment, you have a larger HP pool to pull from, so the recoil damage does not affect you as much as it would had you not invested in the extra HP.
Also, Leech Life is not reliable recovery. Bug is an extremely commonly resisted offensive type, and in almost all cases you'll be healing yourself for much, much less than they're damaging you for.
>>
>>32417419

....this game is fucking bullshit, I'm speechless
>>
>>32418921

so the only way to fix incineroar is; better move set, better item, sp. atk intimidate variation for it's support which means... we have to wait until next game

btw. somebody could hack tm's change them for good moves [offensively and supportively] and check what incineroar possibly could learn
>>
Personally I wish both Incineroar & Decidueye both were faster and swapping their sp atk stats with their speed stats would be ideal

Just the thought of Incineroar being slower than Emboar is painful

Primarina got the best treatment in terms of stats imo, though it probably would want to have its attack lowered to increase either its hp or sp def

>>32419127

Because he has recovery and a very wide coverage moves that is not shit. Why are you calling everyone itt underage? Do you feel guilty about yourself? At this point, no one is going to take you seriously because you are just being a sissy faggot or just plain out fishing for you. You're trying too hard to fit in.
>>
>>32419100
>>32419102
Because lots of bulkymons invest EVs in both HP and defenses and may want to prioritize one type of defense over another.
>>
>>32419140

from what I can see... incineroar with scarf and max atk, max hp and intimidate is better than vcg dog

>>32419155

but you have zero idea what you talking about... if your shit was real then there wouldn't be set mixed for high HP and defences, just checked few resources and people telling that both hp and def stats matters
>>
>>32419170
Incineroar doesn't have Intimidate yet so as of now it's worse than Arcanine.

don't forget that reddit is place also for people under 18 :^) you must not forcing yourself to be accepted
>>
>>32419187

it's not proving anything imo, because you either switch or outspeed manaphy with something else

and to be honest >>32419136
looks the most balanced, it either have full invested hp, good atk and good defence
>>

How old are you and I'm sure as fuck you are an uneducated third worlder who is using posting in an internet cafe right now.

>>32419198

I also found something like this

EVs : 252 Hp / 128 Def / 128 SpD
intimidate
sitrus berry

Bulk Up
Darkest Lariat
Flare Blitz
Substitute

>all starters were cucked by GF competitively

I mean yeah, most of the starters are bad competitively, but there are some who are good.

If we look at the official metagames, we can see that some starters excel greatly and are common threats, with those (including megas) being:

Battle Spot Singles

1. Charizard
2. Blaziken
3. Greninja
4. Venusaur
5. Primarina
6. Serperior

Everybody else is irrelevant

Battle Spot Doubles

1. Charizard
2. Venusaur
3. Swampert

Everybody else is irrelevant

I mean yeah, 6/21 for BSS and 3/21 for BSD is not good, like at all, but GF hasn't made all the starters into shitmons. They play favourites from time to time lol.
>>
>>32419140
Holy fuck learn english, newfag
>>
>>32419227

being retarded enough to follow guides made by autists, look, this is just a math, if you balance hp with def/sp. def you are set and that's all

also every set is different for every strategy
>>

Comedy gold.
>>
>>32419264
Tried an assault vest and life orb sets in VGC, it can work, but It's still very weak
I've seen some more offensive sets with sword dance to break stuff like arcanine and p2, still feel like that the niche is too small for now, can't wait for intimidate
>>
>>32419297
So what's your strategy? What specific moves and you live with 76 HP and 76 defence? What do you need 200 speed for? At least these "autists" actually justify their spreads
>>
>>32419318

nobody told him why he's terrible, they just were shitposting he's wrong, giving him arguments out of ass and so on, also his idea isn't that bad to get better "base stats" similar to many OU mon

I can agree with your first point, but this is just wrong.
You have a finite number of stats you can distribute to any stat via EVs and it's pretty much always best to use those to improve the pokemons strengths. The OU mons with higher "base stats" will use these EVs to maximize their attack or bulk instead of mixing it, leaving Incineroar with the mixed spread outperformed even more.

>>32419392

incineroar never will use it's speed and sp. atk, his hp is high, his atk is high, if it have ability to bulk up then it's justify more ev's into sp. def than in atk overall, this is just elementary school match, not smogon analysis, it's obvious that's impossible to make incineroar great but it's not impossible to balance his shit
>>
>>32419409
>dp
Here's your problem. Nice cherrypicking retard. This is the most irrelevant article you could've found
>>
>>32419409
>but it's not impossible to balance his shit
Probably not, but that's sure as shit not what you're doing right now.
>>
>>32419409
>this is just elementary school match, not smogon analysis

And this is why it's worse than the smogon analysis.
His atk is "high", yes, but there's no reason to not make it as high as possible to give him more possible 2HKOs.
Putting 60 into Def and 60 into SpDef is in most cases worse than just putting the combined 120 into HP.

>Incineroar never will use it's speed
This is wrong, btw. Especially since you talked about Tail Wind earlier. If you want to use Tail Wind you might as well invest into Speed EVs to make sure that it outspeeds certain threats after the Tail Wind boost.

Also the article you linked is from fucking Diamond/Pearl times.

dis is gonna be long day (ʘ‿ʘ)
>>
is there any "perfect" partner for incineroar?

I thought about starting with
arcanine for intimidate and snarl
and with something with reflect and light screen
to switch out and bulk up 2 times
>>
>>32419693

scarfed oranguru but incineroar should have brutal swing or physical fire move that hits all mon [which doesn't exist because gf is shit]
>>
>>32419705

to be honest I like fling idea for AssVest incineroar with berry [starf berry hazard looks fun] but maybe there's good combo z-move support
>>
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-568164933

it's shit but under testing
>>
http://pokemonforever.com/Thread-VGC-VGC-2017-Arcanine-Physical-Support-Movesets

>you are wrong juggling with EV's xD

imo I would wait for trick room extender, incineroar with protect, fling [iron ball] flare blitz and darkest lariat with snarl and growl support
>>
>>32419519
>he maximized hp
>putting leftover ev into def and sp. def for hp set is bad

I did not imply that.
And you want to maximize Atk on Incineroar anyway, so you won't get into a situation where you maximized HP and still want to invest into bulk.
>>
>>32420246

dude... incineroar have capability to have high atk and bulk at the same time, it's okay if it have added more def stats because it's bulky attacker
>>
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-568289311

rekt and rip, this is bullshit
>>
>>32421071

this iron ball set and I could possibly win but was greedy
>>
>>32421098

this is*

>>32421106

why gf hate speed stat so much... there should be auto trick room+extender, it would balance game

>>32421663

I didn't killed celesteela with incineroar because I had to protect from arcanine and I wouldn't burn it, either I would die from second earthquake and probably brutal swing wouldn't be enough for musdale
>>
>>32421762

I guess I will add sweeper musdale for helping hand combo, it's so fucking slow in trick room and have great stamina and atk
