Incineroar ex Deck Strategy Guide

Inflict Recoil Damage with Litten or Torracat

The first step you should do when using this deck is to let Litten or Torracat damage itself with Heat Tackle, as this is needed for Incineroar ex to get bonus damage with its attack later on.

If you have Rare Candy inhand, make sure to get recoil damage first before using it to evolve Litten, as Incineroar ex has no way of inflicting damage to itself.

However, if attacking will put Litten into critical health and prone to getting knocked out on the next turn, it is best to avoid this and just evolve Litten instead.

Early Incineroar ex Attacks

If you are playing second in the match, you can take recoil damage as Litten on your first turn, then evolve into Incineroar ex with Rare Candy on your second turn.

From this, you'll be able to deal 50 damage on your first turn as Litten, 30 damage on your second turn as Incineroar ex, and 20 damage from the Burn status.

In most cases, the total damage from these is able to knock out several Pokemon very quickly.

How to Beat Incineroar ex Decks

KO Litten or Torracat Before It Evolves

Even if Incineroar ex has much potential, it still relies on Litten and Torracat to be in good shape throughout the setup.

WIth this, you can make use Trainer cards or Pokemon like Hitmonlee to shut down either Pokemon quickly.

If there are only 2x basic pokemon, why would you need 2x pokeballs? Also, is Lilly better than Joy or potions? I feel like Lilly would heal incineroar too much, possibly negating it's stronger attack, and it can't be used earlier if Litten or Toracat take too much damage while setting up.
