What it does

Holder's Fire-type attacks have 1.2x power.

Who holds it

18 of the 277 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder hold Charcoal. The one that matters most is Incineroar, which is on 33.6% of teams and holds it on 3.2% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.

How concentrated it is

Across the ladder, Charcoal accounts for an expected 0.05 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 14th most-brought of the 26 items this format runs. 20% of that comes from Incineroar alone, so it is spread across the field rather than propped up by one Pokémon. Its holders are mostly Fire (18), Ghost (4) and Flying (2).

Where these numbers come from

Usage is Smogon's published statistics for the Regulation M-B VGC ladder, and the description is the one shipped in the Pokémon Showdown data set. Both are regenerated on every build rather than written by hand, so this page follows the format instead of trailing it. Take any of it to the team builder or the damage calculator.

Where this goes next

Build

Open the builder with Incineroar seated — Incineroar brings Charcoal to more teams than any of the other 17 Pokémon that hold it.
