Professor Kukui's Incineroar (Japanese: ククイ博士のガオガエン Dr. Kukui's Gaogaen), commonly known as the Masked Royal's Incineroar (Japanese: ロイヤルマスクのガオガエン Royal Mask's Gaogaen), is a Pokémon owned by Professor Kukui in the anime and the games. In the anime, Professor Kukui uses it under the alias of the Masked Royal.

History

Incineroar and the Masked Royal

Incineroar was first seen on television at the Battle Royal Dome in Pushing the Fiery Envelope! alongside the Masked Royal. They had successfully won nineteen battles and were aiming to win the twentieth. They won by defeating a Machamp, Primarina, and a Decidueye that belonged to three Battle Royal Trainers. After the match, the Masked Royal invited people to take part in a battle tomorrow. The next day, the Masked Royal and Incineroar took the stage, where it was approached by Ash's Litten, who'd taken an interest in Incineroar. Ash apologized for interrupting and was invited to take part in a match alongside Kiawe and Sophocles. Incineroar went up against Litten, Marowak, and Charjabug. After withstanding several attacks, it attacked all three with Darkest Lariat, defeating Marowak and Charjabug. The battle continued against Litten, but it was eventually defeated.

The next day, Professor Kukui, after seeing Ash and Litten training to use Flame Charge, showed up as the Masked Royal with Incineroar. They had a battle where Litten struggled to use Flame Charge, before evolving into Torracat. The battle continued but despite Torracat mastering Flame Charge, Incineroar came out victorious. After the match, the Masked Royal declared Incineroar and Torracat rivals.

Incineroar reappeared in SM081, where it took part in a battle against Mr. Elec and his Electivire. Despite Mr. Elec cheating, Incineroar held its own until it was attacked by other members of the Revengers. The cheating resulted in Mr. Elec being disqualified but the Masked Royal and Incineroar were challenged to another match the following day. The next day they got to the ring just in time, but before the match could begin, Incineroar found itself under attack by the Revengers Poliwrath, Alolan Muk, and Alolan Golem. Annoyed by their cheating, Ash and Torracat teamed up with the Masked Royal and Incineroar but were confronted by Viren, the leader of the Revengers. Viren planned to buy the Battle Royal Dome for it to become a part of the Rainbow Happy Resorts. A tag battle ensued with Ash and Masked Royal going up against Mr. Elec and Mad Boober and their Electivire and Magmortar. Despite more cheating from the Revengers, they came out on top. Viren, not willing to give up just yet sent out his Pangoro but a combo move from Torracat and Incineroar sent them flying.

Incineroar reappeared in SM090, where Kukui sent it out to battle Gozu, where it swiftly defeated his Mega Aggron with Malicious Moonsault. Afterwards, it joined the rest of Alola in showering Necrozma with light so it could return to its true form.

Personality and characteristics

Incineroar is shown to be a tough Pokémon, managing to withstand several attacks at once, and even being able to defeat several Pokémon with a single move. It is charismatic as well, easily winning over a crowd with its powerful and elegant moves. Incineroar's strength was shown once again in SM090, where it was able to defeeat Gozu's Mega Aggron, a Pokémon that had just defeated three other Pokémon with a single move.
