The Beginner’s Guide to Training the Incineroar amiibo in Smash Ultimate

by a lot of people

and Doc

There are so many good Incineroars in the competitive amiibo scene that I wasn’t able to pin down the single best Incineroar amiibo trainer. However, it’s unanimous what the best Incineroar strategy is, and the best Incineroar strategy is really simple, so I’ve taken the liberty of just taking what everyone in the scene knows and putting it down.

AI Issues

Nada.

Overall Playstyle

Alolan Whip, unless he’s at the ledge. If he’s at the ledge, use Down Smash. That’s literally it.

How to Train the Incineroar amiibo

According to the framework set in this guide, you’re going to scan Incineroar in. Use Alolan Whip. Then do it again. And again. Don’t run, just walk – you want him to be a walking amiibo.

When your amiibo is recovering, 2-frame him with Down smash.

Do that until he’s level 50. You have now trained the best amiibo in the game.

Why It Works

Amiibo can’t see command grabs, and Alolan Whip is a command grab with incredible range that the amiibo always lands the strongest hit of (unless they’re in the air). So the opposing amiibo never knows to dodge it, and Incineroar gets the grab every time. It’s… really, really broken.
