[SET COMMENTS]
Cinderace is a powerful physical attacker because of its incredible Speed allowing Speed, which allows it to outpace the likes of Nidoking and Kyurem, combined with its Libero ability and high Attack stat. Pyro Ball targets threats like Volcarona, Tapu Lele, and Galarian Zapdos. Sucker Punch checks lets it check faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Blacephalon, Baraskewda, Barraskewda, and Dragapult. Low kick Kick targets threats that can take hits from Pyro Ball such as Porygon2, Hydreigon, Tyranitar, and Heatran. Bulk Up allows Cinderace to take takes advantage of forced switches, allowing it Cinderace to threaten walls such as Mandibuzz and Galarian Corsola, while also making it harder to revenge kill. Gunk Shot threatens Fairy-types such as Tapu Fini and Azumarill (RC) that resist Cinderace's other moves. A Jolly nature allows Cinderace to remove common threats like Hydreigon, Galarian Zapdos, and Terrakion.

Volcarona is a powerful setup sweeper that breaks troublesome through physical walls that Cinderace struggles to get past such as Hippowdon, Slowbro, and Toxapex. Choice Scarf Blachephalon is also another solid option for dealing with troublesome physical walls such as Galarian Corsola and Slowbro, provides speed control, and can clean teams revenge kills foes, and can clean types such as Flying, Psychic, and Poison late-game. Offensive Trapper trapper Heatran can trap and remove annoying walls that check Cinderace such as Toxapex, Galarian Corsola, and Mandibuzz. Choice Band Victini is capable of wearing down and removing defensive walls that Cinderace struggles with can wear down and remove bothersome walls such as Landorus-T and Mantine. Torkoal is an outstanding teammate for Cinderace, as it provides sun support, making makes Pyro Ball even more powerful with sun support, sets Stealth Rock to make Cinderace secure more KOs, and also provides Rapid Spin support. Volcanion is a good partner for Cinderace, as it provides Water immunity and can deal with major threats such as Belly Drum Azumarill. Dual Screens Rotom-H is also a good partner for Cinderace, setting Reflect and Light Screen that screens Rotom-H gives Cinderace an easier time setting up (RC) while also providing a Ground-type immunity with its Levitate ability and Ground immunity with Levitate, and it can also target Flying-types such as Mantine with its Nasty Plot set.

Other Options
=============

Fire
--------
Zen Headbutt targets Poison- (RC) and Fighting-types such as Toxapex and Keldeo that can take most of Cinderace's other attacks. Choice Scarf allows Cinderace to act as become a revenge killer, outspeeding threats like Tapu Koko, Cloyster after one Shell Smash boost, and Zeraora while also outspeeding other Choice Scarf users such as Buzzwole, Galarian Darmanitan, and Zarude. Life Orb and Choice Band further boost Cinderace's attacking power. However, without Heavy-Duty (added hyphen) Boots, Cinderace becomes weak to chip damage from Stealth Rock. High Jump Kick can replace Low Kick, as it OHKOs OHKOes Pokemon like Blissey and Kyurem, but it can get countered by Protect. Cinderace also has access to utility moves such as Court Change and U-turn. Court Change is a unique move that allows Cinderace to steal the opposing effects of Reflect, Light Screen, and Aurora Veil from the likes of Grimmsnarl and Alolan Ninetales, while also being able to transfer entry hazards such as Sticky Web and Stealth Rock to the other side, which is appreciated by Fire-type teams due to their that, besides generally stealing dual screens and transferring entry hazards to the other side, can specifically mitigate Fire teams' weakness to Stealth Rock. U-turn helps Cinderace escape bad matchups such as Dragonite, Hippowdon, Galarian Corsola, and Garchomp, bringing in the right teammate to deal with them, (AC) while also helping setup partners like Volcarona to come in safely.
