[OVERVIEW]
Centiskorch makes for a great wallbreaker thanks to its fantastic movepool and great Attack, allowing it to beat most physically defensive walls and Fire-resistant Pokemon like Vaporeon, Palossand, Gigalith, and Jellicent. Its ability Flash Fire, decent special bulk, and typing allow it to switch into threats like Magmortar and Ribombee, although its lack of recovery means it can't do so very often. However, Centiskorch's mediocre defensive typing, Speed, and Defense leave it susceptible to many faster threats like Absol, Archeops, Basculin, and Toxicroak, which also makes it harder to get it in the field safely.

[SET]

Fire Lash makes Centiskorch harder to switch into, and it allows Centiskorch to get past defensive behemoths like Weezing and Vaporeon more easily. Power Whip hits Ground-, Rock-, and Water-types, and Knock Off allows Centiskorch to cripple foes reliant on their items, like Talonflame. Due to its poor physical bulk, typing, and Speed, Centiskorch greatly appreciates teammates capable of bringing it in safely; Heliolisk, Togedemaru, and Ribombee are great examples, as they all appreciate it weakening down their answers like Gigalith. Basculin is another great example, as it enjoys Centiskorch softening up Jellicent and Vaporeon. Answers to Flying-, Rock-, and Water-types like Charizard, Aggron, and Kabutops are greatly appreciated, as Centiskorch often finds itself forced out by them. This makes Regirock, Palossand, and Vaporeon great partners; the former two can even support it with Stealth Rock, giving it an easier time wallbreaking, while the latter can heal it with Wish. Similarly, Spikes setters like Froslass and Garbodor allow Centiskorch to wallbreak more effectively.

Centiskorch makes for a great wallbreaker thanks to its fantastic movepool and great Attack, allowing it to beat most physically defensive walls, like Vaporeon, Palossand, Regirock, and Jellicent (does it beat Regirock reliably though? don't know the calcs off the top of my head but it would probably take multiple switch ins). Its ability, Flash Fire, allows it to switch into threats like Magmortar, although its lack of recovery means it can't do so very often. Centiskorch's mediocre defensive typing, Speed, and Defense leave it susceptible to many faster threats, like Absol, Archeops, Basculin, and Toxicroak, which also makes it harder to get it in the field safely.
