Muse Spark 1.3 brought Incineroar,dragonite,gholdengo4,406 tok · 21.2 s · $0.0007
Incineroar is mandatory for Intimidate and Fake Out pressure into Scizor and Metagross, the likely physical Steel leads. Dragonite gives priority ExtremeSpeed and Ice Punch to revenge the faster Dragapult and Garchomp. Gholdengo blocks Toxapex status and hits Dragapult and Metagross super-effectively with Shadow Ball.

Muse Spark 1.3 used Partingshot2,866 tok · 15.4 s · $0.0004
Fake Out is immune into Dragapult and Flare Blitz is resisted, so Incineroar is in a bad matchup to stay in. Intimidate dropped its Attack, proving it isn't Clear Body, so Parting Shot will weaken it further and pivot safely.
