[SET COMMENTS]
Cinderace is a staple on Fire teams thanks to its incredible Speed tier and coverage, which allow it to take advantage of Libero to sweep effectively. With Choice Scarf, Cinderace outspeeds and OHKOes foes like Iron Valiant, non-Choice Scarf Greninja, and non-Choice Scarf Flutter Mane. Gunk Shot allows Cinderace to hit Fairy-types like Primarina and Azumarill, which resist Pyro Ball. Gunk Shot also secures an OHKO against threats like Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-W. High Jump Kick allows Cinderace to hit foes like non-Choice Scarf Greninja and Heatran, the latter of which being immune to both Pyro Ball and Gunk Shot. Additionally, using High Jump Kick removes Cinderace's weaknesses to Rock and Dark so it can handle threats from Ogerpon-C's Ivy Cudgel, Hisuian Arcanine's Head Smash, and Kingambit's Sucker Punch more easily. U-turn grants Cinderace the ability to act as a pivot on Fire teams, luring in its common checks like Landorus and Great Tusk.

Teammates like Torkoal and Ninetales are ideal on sun teams, with the former setting and removing entry hazards with Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin, respectively, and the latter supporting teams with Healing Wish. Furthermore, Ninetales can use Solar Beam under sun to take down annoying foes like Gastrodon and Great Tusk. Ogerpon-H is a great wallbreaking partner that provides aid against Water- and Ground-type threats like Dondozo, Swampert, Ursaluna, and Gliscor, which Cinderace may have difficulty breaking. Heatran is an inordinately good partner for Cinderace thanks to its neutrality to Rock and it can not only set up Stealth Rock to boost Cinderace's sweeping capabilities but also switch into predicted Ground-type attacks if it's holding an Air Balloon. Furthermore, it can trap foes like Toxapex and Clodsire with Magma Storm and damage them with Earth Power in tandem with Taunt to prevent them from recovering. Volcanion provides a much-needed Water immunity thanks to Water Absorb, in addition to dealing with Ground-type foes like Great Tusk, Landorus, and Gliscor if it is running Air Balloon. Talonflame is a splendid pivot with access to U-turn and a much-needed Ground immunity. Furthermore, it can also use Defog to remove hazards from the field and prevent chip damage to Cinderace while also taking out fast Fighting-type threats like Sneasler and Iron Valiant with priority Brave Bird thanks to Gale Wings. Gouging Fire is an impeccable setup sweeper on Fire teams that appreciates Cinderace pivoting it in with U-turn to effectively sweep opposing teams. Ceruledge is also a great example of a setup sweeper, breaking teams with +2 Poltergeist and Bitter Blade; however, foes like Porygon2 and Terapagos may cause trouble for it, in which case Cinderace can deal with them using High Jump Kick. Lastly, Volcarona is an amazing setup sweeper that complements Cinderace's sweeping potential by setting up with Quiver Dance and 2HKOing foes like Toxapex and Clodsire with Psychic. In return, Cinderace deals with Heatran, which can completely wall Volcarona.

Cinderace is a staple on Fire teams, thanks to its incredible Speed tier and coverage, which allows it to take advantage of Libero in order to sweep effectively. With Choice Scarf, Cinderace outspeeds foes like Dragapult (id change drag since it resists all your moves), Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and non-Choice Scarf Flutter Mane. Pyro Ball is preferred on Cinderace's moveset as it is its strongest STAB move with a Base Power of 120. (fluff) Gunk Shot allows Cinderace to hit Fairy-types like Primarina and Azumarill, which are resistant to Cinderace's Pyro Ball. Gunk Shot also secures an OHKO against threats like Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-W. High Jump Kick allows Cinderace to hit foes like Terapagos non-Choice Scarf Greninja and Heatran, the latter of which is immune to both Pyro Ball and Gunk Shot. Additionally, using High Jump Kick also forgoes Cinderace's weakness to Rock-type moves, allowing it to handle threats like Ogerpon-C and Hisuian Arcanine with much more ease. (id add that you now resist sucker punch as well so you dont get rked by gambit) U-turn grants Cinderace the ability to act like a pivot on Fire teams, luring in common Cinderace checks like Landorus and Great Tusk.

Teammates like Torkoal and Ninetales are ideal on sun teams, with the former being able to set and remove hazards with Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin, respectively, and the latter being able to support teams with Healing Wish (id mention it has solar beam to take out waters and grounds like gastro and tusk). Ogerpon-H is a great wallbreaking partner that provides aid against Water-type threats like Dondozo, Swampert, and defensive Rotom-W, which Cinderace may have difficulty breaking. Additionally, it also deals with Ground-type foes such as Clodsire, Ursaluna, and Gliscor, allowing Cinderace to sweep late-game (merge together). Heatran is an inordinate partner for Cinderace, thanks to its neutrality to Rock-type moves, as it can not only set up Stealth Rock to boost Cinderace's sweeping capabilities but also switch into predicted Ground-type attacks if it's holding an Air Balloon. Furthermore, Heatran can trap foes like Toxapex and Clodsire with Magma Storm and damage them with Earth Power, forcing them to burn Recover PP and make the late-game easier for Cinderace (id honestly remove this part and instead mention taunt after your mention of magma storm since youd outright remove them already). Volcanion provides a much needed Water-type immunity, thanks to Water Absorb, in addition to dealing with Ground-type foes like Great Tusk and Gliscor. Volcanion can also serve as an answer for Landorus, which is a huge problem for Cinderace, if it's holding an Air Balloon. Moltres and Talonflame are splendid pivots, with access to U-turn and a much needed Ground-type immunity; the latter of which can also use Defog to remove hazards from the field and prevent chip damage on Cinderace (mention talonflame taking out speedy but frail fightings like sneasler with priortiy brave bird from gale wings). Gouging Fire is an impeccable setup sweeper that can switch in to Water-type attacks from foes like opposing Volcanion and Greninja and set up with Dragon Dance to effectively sweep opposing teams. (id rework this sentence, since gouging fire doesnt really want to switch into water types, it rather appreciates cinderace pivoting it in with uturn to sweep) Ceruledge is also a great example of a setup sweeper, being able to break teams with +2 Poltergeist and Bitter Blade. Foes like Porygon2 and Terapagos may cause trouble for Ceruledge, in which case Cinderace can deal with them using High Jump Kick. (merge these two together) Lastly, Volcarona is an amazing setup sweeper that complements Cinderace's sweeping potential by setting up with Quiver Dance and 2HKOing foes like Toxapex and Clodsire with Psychic. In return, Cinderace deals with Heatran, which can completely wall Volcarona, with the help of High Jump Kick.

Moltres and Talonflame is a are splendid pivots, with access to U-turn and a much-needed Ground-type immunity; Talonflame can also use the latter of which can also use Defog to remove hazards from the field and prevent chip damage on Cinderace.[taking off Moltres, its not even rank on the vr for fire.] Furthermore, Talonflame can take out fast Fighting-type threats like Sneasler and Iron Valiant with priority Brave Bird, thanks to its ability Gale Wings. Gouging Fire is an impeccable setup sweeper on Fire teams which appreciates Cinderace pivoting into it with U-turn in order to effectively sweep opposing teams.

SolarBeam hello my apologies for the inconvenience however i added a sentence around the same time the amgp was posted so the OP is different from the amgp (captain daimyo is aware of this). it's in the second paragraph around the talonflame sentences so if you could have a look that'd be great, thank you v much :)

Got it, thanks for letting me know! Fixes below, same formatting as I used in the check.
Moltres and Talonflame are splendid pivots, with access to U-turn and a much-needed (AH) Ground-type immunity; the latter of which can also use Defog to remove hazards from the field and prevent chip damage on to Cinderace. Furthermore, Talonflame can also take out fast Fighting-type threats like Sneasler and Iron Valiant with priority Brave Bird (RC) thanks to its ability Gale Wings, while Moltres can spread burn through its ability, Flame Body (RC) against physical attackers like Sneasler and Iron Hands.
