Is Blast Burn Incineroar worth it in Pokemon GO?

Blast Burn Incineroar in Pokemon GO PvP

In GO Battle League, Blast Burn deals 110 damage for 50 energy. Considering this comes without any debuffs, this is an extremely strong move with a very high damage-to-energy ratio.

While this improves Incineroar's viability in the Great and Ultra Leagues slightly, it doesn't do enough to push it into either format's top meta. This is especially because of how prevalent Water and Ground type Pocket Monsters are in the GO Battle League's World of Wonders update.

While Incineroar is remarkably better than Houndoom in Pokemon GO PvP, that is not a benchmark one should look at. Other Fire-type starters, such as Skeledirge and Charizard, are much better in terms of overall coverage.

Blast Burn Incineroar in Pokemon GO PvE

Blast Burn deals 110 damage for 50 energy in Gyms and Raid battles. It has an animation duration of 3.3 seconds and a damage window of 2.8 to 3.2 seconds.

Blast Burn Incineroar is also an improvement over any version without the exclusive move. Unfortunately, though, this improvement is minimal. Incineroar with Blaze Kick as its Charged Attack is 74% as strong as Reshiram (the best non-Shadow, non-Mega Fire-type attacker). With Blast Burn, this number goes up to 79%, which is far from a remarkable improvement.

That said, Incineroar, with its Pokemon GO Litten Community Day move, is definitely worth using, especially if you are looking for budget counters for mid-tier raids.
