Known Trainers With an Incineroar

Trivia

Incineroar shares the same type combination with Houndour and Houndoom but in reverse as a Fire/Dark type Pokémon.
Incineroar continues the trend of Fire-type starters being based off animals from the 12-year Chinese Zodiac, with Incineroar representing the Year of the Tiger.
Incineroar is the third consecutive Fire-type starter to begin as a quadruped but evolve into a biped in its final stage (unlike Pignite and Braixen however, Torracat is still a quadruped).
Upon its initial leakage to the media Incineroar was negatively received by the fanbase, due to the fact that three starters already were Fire/Fighting-types and was seen to be clichè. The concerns were put to rest upon its official trailer reveal, confirming it to be a Dark-type instead.
- An image arose comparing Incineroar's design to Kane, a famous WWE wrestler.
In the in-game animations, Incineroar releases its fire attacks from its belt as opposed to its mouth in its previous evolutions.

Origin

Incineroar is based on a tiger and a wrestler, specifically that of a heel, or a villain role wrestler. Its appearance also draws similarities to the popular manga character Tiger Mask, who was also a heel wrestler, and to Japanese mythological interpretations of tigers, as some were depicted in tiger and dragon fighting motifs as being bipedal and standing upright like a human.

Its shiny form is based off of Lucha Libre heels, or rudos, who are often themed in demonic and skeletal motifs.

Etymology

Incineroar is most likely a combination of incinerate (to burn) and roar (the sound a tiger makes).
