Ash's Incineroar: Difference between revisions

In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Torracat and Ash were sent to the past after accidentally startling a {{p|Celebi}} while training. There, they encountered and befriended a younger version of Kukui and his Incineroar, then a Litten. By borrowing Kukui's [[Firium Z]], Ash and Torracat performed {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} for the first time. Later, Ash received a Firium Z of his own by helping out a Totem {{p|Trevenant}} before Celebi returned him and Torracat back to the present day.

In [[SM136]], Ash used Torracat in his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]], where it went up against {{p|Scizor}}. Guzma quickly recalled Scizor with {{m|U-turn}} in favor of {{p|Golisopod}}, putting Torracat at a disadvantage. However, Torracat still managed to deal a good amount of damage on Golisopod. Then, just when it used Fire Blast, Golisopod used its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to swap places with Scizor against Guzma's will, resulting in Scizor taking the hit instead. Being doubly weak against {{type|Fire}} moves, Scizor was instantly defeated. Afterwards, a disapproving Guzma sent Golisopod back out again to continue battling Torracat. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Torracat wound up getting {{status|poison}}ed by Golisopod's {{m|Poison Jab}}. This, combined with its exhaustion, led to its defeat soon after.
