A Pokemon prophecy has come to pass as former world champ gets his own distribution event, so you too can own "Wolfe's Incineroar"

We all have a least-favorite Pokemon. Mine's Binacle – I don't know exactly why, but something about the Gen 6 barnacle 'mon just doesn't spark joy. However, it's not often that our least favorites become an intrinsic part of our image, but that's something that's about to be etched into Pokemon history permanently for 2016 world champ Wolfe "Wolfey" Glick and his Incineroar.

Wolfey does not like Incineroar. While not his absolute least-favorite 'mon (he previously called it his "fourth most hated"), he's criticized the Alolan starter for decreasing Pokemon diversity in the competitive scene, thanks to its high utility with its Fire/Dark typing and Intimidate ability. Needless to say, it's a very, very good Pokemon, and one that, despite his hatred, has become a mainstay of many of Wolfey's competitive teams, including in the recent Pokemon European International Championships, which he won.
