His winning team included a certain Pok\u00e9mon he dreads\u2014Incineroar. On Jan. 21, Wolfe Glick earned his eighth regional title in Charlotte, North Carolina, adding to his long resume of achievements over the years. The popular pro player and content creator has won regionals, internationals, and the 2016 World Championships, but this specific win was historic, being the largest Pok\u00e9mon VGC tournament so far. With nearly a thousand players competing this weekend, Charlotte Regionals beat out the 2023 Orlando Regionals which saw 780 competitors. In fact, Glick had won that event in Orlando, too. Glick's win here means the former world champ has now won the two largest VGC events ever. Glick posted an impressive 17-1 record for the weekend, only dropping a single set during the Swiss rounds. And although he was known for using off-meta picks like Scream Tail and Tinkaton last season, he decided to take a different approach in 2024. This time, he opted for a team of six Pok\u00e9mon that were \u201cproven to be strong\u201d: Flutter Mane, Urshifu (Rapid Strike), Farigiraf, Ogerpon (Hearthflame), Rillaboom, and Incineroar. The Pok\u00e9mon that stands out the most on the team is Incineroar, who\u2019s been a hot topic in the VGC community as of late. Incineroar has been one of the best-performing Pok\u00e9mon in competitive play, and Glick even called the Fire Starter, \u201cway too strong, way too oppressive,\u201d to the point where he doesn\u2019t even like the \u2018mon. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not gonna use it,\u201d he said in a post-match interview on day one of the event. What makes Incineroar so good is its ability to effectively cycle in Fake Out and the stat drops with Parting Shot and its Intimidate ability. Oftentimes, you\u2019ll just see the cat constantly being swapped in and out as it gives the player better positioning and weakens the \u2018mons on the other side of the field. Even if it\u2019s not the one always dishing out damage, Incineroar\u2019s role on the team is so valuable. Despite this, other players weren\u2019t feeling the same hype about Incineroar, especially after it couldn\u2019t pull out a win at Portland Regionals, the first Regulation F event where Incineroar made its return. It seemed as though the cat had fallen off for a second, but we may see more players getting behind Incineroar again after witnessing Glick\u2019s dominant performance with it. \u201cIncineroar is the king, and I think he\u2019s back baby,\u201d Glick said even before winning the event. Looks like the cat isn\u2019t the only one who\u2019s back.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pokemon-Wolfe-Glick-Charlotte-Regionals.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1103847"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1103847"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1103847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1190091,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1103847\/revisions\/1190091"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1103849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1103847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1103847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

His winning team included a certain Pok\u00e9mon he dreads\u2014Incineroar. On Jan. 21, Wolfe Glick earned his eighth regional title in Charlotte, North Carolina, adding to his long resume of achievements over the years. The popular pro player and content creator has won regionals, internationals, and the 2016 World Championships, but this specific win was historic, being the largest Pok\u00e9mon VGC tournament so far. With nearly a thousand players competing this weekend, Charlotte Regionals beat out the 2023 Orlando Regionals which saw 780 competitors. In fact, Glick had won that event in Orlando, too. Glick's win here means the former world champ has now won the two largest VGC events ever. Glick posted an impressive 17-1 record for the weekend, only dropping a single set during the Swiss rounds. And although he was known for using off-meta picks like Scream Tail and Tinkaton last season, he decided to take a different approach in 2024. This time, he opted for a team of six Pok\u00e9mon that were \u201cproven to be strong\u201d: Flutter Mane, Urshifu (Rapid Strike), Farigiraf, Ogerpon (Hearthflame), Rillaboom, and Incineroar. The Pok\u00e9mon that stands out the most on the team is Incineroar, who\u2019s been a hot topic in the VGC community as of late. Incineroar has been one of the best-performing Pok\u00e9mon in competitive play, and Glick even called the Fire Starter, \u201cway too strong, way too oppressive,\u201d to the point where he doesn\u2019t even like the \u2018mon. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not gonna use it,\u201d he said in a post-match interview on day one of the event. What makes Incineroar so good is its ability to effectively cycle in Fake Out and the stat drops with Parting Shot and its Intimidate ability. Oftentimes, you\u2019ll just see the cat constantly being swapped in and out as it gives the player better positioning and weakens the \u2018mons on the other side of the field. Even if it\u2019s not the one always dishing out damage, Incineroar\u2019s role on the team is so valuable. Despite this, other players weren\u2019t feeling the same hype about Incineroar, especially after it couldn\u2019t pull out a win at Portland Regionals, the first Regulation F event where Incineroar made its return. It seemed as though the cat had fallen off for a second, but we may see more players getting behind Incineroar again after witnessing Glick\u2019s dominant performance with it. \u201cIncineroar is the king, and I think he\u2019s back baby,\u201d Glick said even before winning the event. Looks like the cat isn\u2019t the only one who\u2019s back.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pokemon-Wolfe-Glick-Charlotte-Regionals.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1103847"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1103847"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1103847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1190091,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1103847\/revisions\/1190091"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1103849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1103847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1103847"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1103847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Incineroar might be the best Pok\u00e9mon in VGC. Screenshot by Dot Esports<\/figcaption><\/figure>

What makes Incineroar so good is its ability to effectively cycle in Fake Out and the stat drops with Parting Shot and its Intimidate ability. Oftentimes, you\u2019ll just see the cat constantly being swapped in and out as it gives the player better positioning and weakens the \u2018mons on the other side of the field. Even if it\u2019s not the one always dishing out damage, Incineroar\u2019s role on the team is so valuable.<\/p>
