Incineroar may not get its own unique HA, but it does get two exclusive moves while the other starters only get one, so maybe that makes up for it?
Okay, after the aneurysm of seeing the stats on every pokemon this gen, I've come into hesitant peace with it, and hope for the best of every pokemon this gen. As for my Incineroar, the best movset I'll have for it will be Darkest Lariat, Flame Charge, Bulk Up, Brick Break/Earthquake.

Huh. That's weird then. Wonder why they decided not to give Incineroar a unique HA.Weavile can learn throat chop too.
I'm pretty sure a separate item dump showed Primarinium.Huh. That's weird then. Wonder why they decided not to give Incineroar a unique HA.
On another note, I'm also a little bummed that Primarina seemingly doesn't get a unique Z-Move but Decidueye and Incineroar do. I was looking forward to seeing a different animation of it but instead it looks like Sparkling Aria just becomes Hydro Vortex.

At least, that's what this looks like.
EDIT: Never mind the spoiler, I didn't realize those were the Ghost and Dark Z-Moves. That makes me feel better.
Actually it has the strongest Z-move among the three:Huh. That's weird then. Wonder why they decided not to give Incineroar a unique HA.

Yeah, I realize that. So many leaks all over the place, its hard to keep track of them all. xD
What about Incineroar?
I think starters always keep roughly the same stat spread throughout their evolution line (for example, among gen VI starters, Chespin line consistently have the highest HP, Att and Def, Fennekin Sp Def and Sp Att, and Froakie Speed). What if this time GF changed up? For example, Speed: Litten>Rowlet but Decidueye>Incineroar, HP: Rowlet>Litten but Incineroar>Decidueye.
So I was right!
Kinda. Cause you know 70-60-60 speed is not something someone could have guessed.
What kind of Pokemon is Primarina stat wise?
It's a bulkier but slower Gardevoir. A slow special attacker/wall with great coverage but lack of recover. If it had 90 defense and 60 attack it would have been perfect. Probably it will gain recover or something through Move tutor in the future. Its ability is good. Stab Water Hyper Voice is just good. Even choise specs + echoed voice is good.
Incineroar is exactly a Swampert, the point it that Swampert can perform better with earthquake and brick break having just one weakness and speed boost blaziken or Infernape can do better with flare blitz, etc. Its movepoll should be something like Fake out, Will o wisp, Darkest Latriat, Flare Blitz (a sort of wall breaker with the help of intimidating).
Decidueye is just bad. Not good even in trick room. Its stats are really bad. Its ability is meh and does not support it offensivly. The Anchor has better stats, better ability and the same trapping move + stab on steel moves.
Most starters in general aren't very good competitively to be fair. And the ones that are are only good because of amazing HAs or Megas.
