Ash's Incineroar

**Ash's Incineroar**, also known as **Ash's Litten** and **Ash's Torracat**, is a character from the *Pokemon* series.

## **Charactah Account**

Incineroar, while he was a Litten, is the kind of Pokémon that tends to keep his emotions to himself. He had a very close friendship with his mentor and guardian, Stoutland, who took care of Litten after he was injured. His friendship with Stoutland caused Litten to have dreams about Stoutland leaving him without warning.

As a Torracat, he retains his behavior from his pre-evolved form and seriously makes Incineroar, his full evolved form as a rival. But on "A Young Royal Flame Ignites!", when Ash teamed up with the Masked Royal, he became friends with his rival Incineroar and they fought side by side in a tag team match. He also shows an honorable side when he rescued his rival from the dirty tactics of Revergers' Pokémon. At the start of exhibition match between Ash and Professor Kukui, Torracat reignites his rivalry with Incineroar.

Upon evolving into Incineroar after defeating Incineroar as a Torracat, he is similar to Ash's Melmetal in terms of personality for being a muscle brain in this case, his strength. Even almost similar to Ash's Charizard and Ash's Infernape during the process after evolving becoming much stronger. He's even more similar to Professor Kukui's Incineroar. Outside of battle he is shown to be calm and collected similar to Ash's Sceptile and Ash's Greninja.

## **Trivia**

* Incineroar is another Fire-type starter Pokémon that Ash caught that was not to have an abandoned/abusive trainer previously, which is another occurrence of the case in Alola as with Quilava in Johto, and sometimes counting Infernape due to his former trainer's tragic reason.
	+ Incineroar is also the first Fire-type starter Pokémon not to have any experiences to defend itself from an abusive trainer, but instead against a certain abusive Pokémon (Pershie), and the death of a close one (Stoutland) but going through an emotional experience.
* As a Litten, Delia and Anela both like to refer to Incineroar as "Littie".
* Incineroar is the first recurring wild starter Pokémon to join the main cast much later than the rest of Ash's former wild starter Pokémon.
* When evolving from Litten to Torracat, Incineroar didn't glow. Instead, he was enveloped by a huge flame and only a few of his morphing parts were shown. However, this happened only when Litten evolved into Torracat, while his evolution into Incineroar used the typical animation.
* Unlike Professor Kukui's Incineroar, Ash's Incineroar's fur from his lower body and tail are dark red after evolving.
* Incineroar is the first Pokémon in the anime to faint right after evolving.
* Incineroar is similar to Infernape (when it evolved from Chimchar to Monferno) since they both evolved after a battle.
* Incineroar is similar to Ash's other owned Pokémon, Sceptile, such as they are still weak when they fully evolved, and requires to both refill and retrain their energies back in later episodes.
* Incineroar is currently Ash's only Pokémon that has not been used in battle after evolving.
* Incineroar, like May's Blaziken, evolved at the near end of its featured series.
* Like Greninja, Incineroar is Ash's fully evolved starter to have been left in its own region.
* Incineroar was the only known Pokémon who had not used any of his attacks after evolving, this lasted until 143 episodes later, making Incineroar the longest known Pokémon to use any attacks since his final evolution.
