Summary

Maximize damage output with status moves. Intentionally fail a move such as Swords Dance to Boost Temper Flare Damage

Intimidate is the better ability choice for Incineroar in Tera Raid Battles. This decreases the Raid Boss' attack stat and greatly increases the team's survivability.

However, despite Blaze's unreliability, it may still be a great choice for dealing one massive hit with Temper Flare's conditional 150 Base Power.

This strategy uniquely uses Swords Dance to have it fail intentionally to double Temper Flare's base power. The Shell Bell will give Inceneroar a bit of survivability to repeat this strategy.

Best Tera Type

As a Fire-type attacker, getting an Incineroar with a Fire Tera Type is recommended to get the damage boost to Fire-type moves. The Adamant nature is best for Incineroar as it has few uses for the Sp. Atk stat.

EV Spread Explanation

This build aims to make Incineroar deal massive bursts of damage with Temper Flare but also have enough survivability. Max out your Attack and HP EVs while adding the remaining EVs into Speed.

Tera Raid Strategy

This build specializes in being able to deal a massive amount of damage in a single hit with Temper Flare's 150 BP.

Remember to hit with Temper Flare between the status moves to heal with Shell Bell and charge your Tera Orb.

It may also be combined with Incineroar's ability, Blaze, for another 30% damage boost to Fire-type moves when Incineroar's HP is low. However, this may be not easy to set up.

Summary

Maximize damage output with Swords Dance and Bulk Up Use moves such as Parting Shot or Scorching Sands to increase survivability Attack with Darkest Lariat while holding Shell Bell to recover health

Intimidate is the better ability choice for Incineroar in Tera Raid Battles, as Blaze only benefits Fire-type moves. This ability decreases the Raid Boss' attack stat and greatly increases the team's survivability.

This is a fairly standard build with status moves to enhance its damage potential while also having access to attack-lowering moves such as Parting Shot or the burn inflicted by Scorching Sands. The Shell Bell is given to Inceneroar for increased survivability by having it heal a portion of the damage it deals.

Best Tera Type

As a Dark-type attacker, getting an Incineroar with a Dark Tera Type is recommended to get the damage boost to Dark-type moves. The Adamant nature is best for Incineroar as it has few uses for the Sp. Atk stat.

This build combos Drain Punch and the Metronome held item to reliably deal good damage and regain a large amount of HP in the process.
