[SET COMMENTS]
Cinderace acts as role compression on Fire teams, being able to apply offensive pressure on foes like Azumarill and non-Choice Scarf Hydreigon with its coverage, remove entry hazards with Court Change, and revenge kill faster threats such as Iron Boulder and Ceruledge with Sucker Punch. Pyro Ball and Gunk Shot can be used over Sucker Punch, with the former handling Bug- and Steel-types like Scizor and Corviknight and the latter taking on Fairy-types like Clefable and non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. High Jump Kick allows Cinderace to deal with Normal-, Rock-, and Dark-types such as Blissey, Mega Tyranitar, and Ting-Lu. Iron Head is a niche option that allows Cinderace to lure in and remove Mega Diancie in the Fairy matchup. With U-turn, Cinderace can pivot out of unfavorable matchups such as Toxapex and Great Tusk and bring in a teammate that can deal with them. Heatran and Iron Moth are such teammates, with the former handling Toxapex by trapping it with Magma Storm and removing it with Earth Power and the latter taking Great Tusk out with Energy Ball. When it forgoes Sucker Punch, Cinderace appreciates Choice Scarf Blacephalon taking on Ghost-types such as Gholdengo and Ceruledge, which can switch into High Jump Kick, and in return, Cinderace takes on Dark-types for Blacephalon. Torkoal sets up sun to boost Pyro Ball when it's being run and places Stealth Rock to further aid Cinderace. Notably, sun-boosted Pyro Ball 2HKOes Mega Sableye. When Cinderace runs Sucker Punch, its ability to revenge kill faster and weakened threats like Iron Boulder enables setup sweepers such as Mega Charizard X, Volcarona, Z-Celebrate Victini, and Ceruledge to start their own sweep, and the latter two specifically appreciate Court Change support so they can find an opportunity to switch in.

Pyro Ball and Gunk Shot can be used over Sucker Punch, with the former handling Bug- and Steel-types like Scizor and Corviknight and the latter taking on Fairy-types like Clefable and non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. High Jump Kick allows Cinderace to deal with Normal-, Dark-,(AC) and Rock-types such as Blissey,(AC) Ting-Lu,(AC) Tyranitar,(AC) and Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine Tyranitar. With U-turn, Cinderace can pivot out of unfavorable matchups such as against Toxapex and Great Tusk and bring in a teammate that can deal with them. Heatran and Iron Moth are such teammates, with the former handling Toxapex by trapping it with Magma Storm and removinge it with Earth Power and the latter taking Great Tusk out with Energy Ball. When it forgoes Sucker Punch, Cinderace appreciates Choice Scarf Blacephalon taking on Ghost-types such as Skeledirge and Ceruledge that can switch into High Jump Kick, and in return, Cinderace takes on Dark-types for Blacephalon. Torkoal sets up sun to further boost Pyro Ball and places Stealth Rock to further aid Cinderace. [What are we taking out due to Pyro ball boosted + chip from SR?? I also would reword this and put if cinderace is running Pyro Ball.] Choice Band Victini is a great walbreaker to deal with walls Cinderace struggles with like Toxapex and Mantine, and it can ease the Fairy matchup by removing dual screens with Brick Break. When Cinderace runs Sucker Punch, its ability to revenge kill faster threats like Iron Boulder enables setup sweepers such as Mega Charizard X, Volcarona, and Ceruledge so they can start their own sweep.

Cinderace serves a multitude of roles (role compression?), being able to apply offensive pressure on foes like Azumarill and non-Choice Scarf Hydreigon with its coverage, remove entry hazards with Court Change, and revenge kill faster threats such as Iron Boulder and Ceruledge with Sucker Punch. Pyro Ball and Gunk Shot can be used over Sucker Punch, with the former handling Bug- and Steel-types like Scizor and Corviknight and the latter taking on Fairy-types like Clefable and non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. High Jump Kick allows Cinderace to deal with Normal-, Rock-, and Dark-types such as Blissey, Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine, Tyranitar, (both not really used, unless you wanna mention M.Ttar?)and Ting-Lu. (mention Iron Head as a niche pick, luring and removing M.Dia in the Fairy mu lets fire go brr on the matchup) With U-turn, Cinderace can pivot out of unfavorable matchups such as Toxapex and Great Tusk and bring in a teammate that can deal with them. Heatran and Iron Moth are such teammates, with the former handling Toxapex by trapping it with Magma Storm and removing it with Earth Power and the latter taking Great Tusk out with Energy Ball. When it forgoes Sucker Punch, Cinderace appreciates Choice Scarf Blacephalon taking on Ghost-types such as Skeledirge Gholdengo and Ceruledge that can switch into High Jump Kick, and in return, Cinderace takes on Dark-types for Blacephalon. Torkoal sets up sun to further boost Pyro Ball when it's being run and places Stealth Rock to further aid Cinderace. Notably, sun-boosted Pyro Ball has a good chance to OHKO Alolan Muk after it takes Stealth Rock damage (I dont think this is a good example, since Alolan Muk doesnt need to swap into cinders. Does it 2hko M.Sab or Mandibuzz under the sun instead?). Choice Band Victini is a great walbreaker to deal with walls Cinderace struggles with like Toxapex and Mantine, and it can ease the Fairy matchup by removing dual screens with Brick Break (Doesnt really see use, you can mention Z vict/cerul liking court change tho). When Cinderace runs Sucker Punch, its ability to revenge kill faster threats like Iron Boulder enables setup sweepers such as Mega Charizard X, Volcarona, and Ceruledge so they can start their own sweep. (ftr sucker doesnt kill, but you can pick off with ssneak at that point)

Torkoal sets up sun to further 'further boost' implies a boost to Pyro Ball beforehand which doesn't seem like the case here boost Pyro Ball when it's being run and places Stealth Rock to further aid Cinderace. Notably, sun-boosted Pyro Ball 2HKOes Mega Sableye. When Cinderace runs Sucker Punch, its ability to revenge kill faster but and weakened threats like Iron Boulder enables setup sweepers such as Mega Charizard X, Volcarona, Z-Celebrate Victini, and Ceruledge so they can to start their own sweep; (RSC), (AC) and the latter two specifically appreciate Court Change support so they can find an opportunity to switch in.
