Cinderace is a great asset to Fire teams due to its mix of offensive presence and utility. Pyro Ball deals a lot of damage under sun and comes with the nice touch of not activating Libero. Libero-boosted High Jump Kick provides valuable coverage, hitting Archaludon, Hydreigon, and Garganacl. Low Kick is an alternative, letting Cinderace deal decent damage to most heavy foes such as Archaludon and Heatran without the large risk of High Jump Kick's crash damage. With minimal chip damage, Libero-boosted Sucker Punch OHKOes Choice Specs Dragapult and Latios that resist the combination of Pyro Ball and High Jump Kick and can also pick up KOs on weakened foes such as Flutter Mane. U-turn can be used as an option over either High Jump Kick or Sucker Punch, letting Cinderace keep momentum against foes it cannot threaten out like defensive Great Tusk and Garchomp. Lastly, Court Change gives Cinderace hazard control, helping the team stay healthy.

Torkoal and Ninetales are natural teammates for Cinderace, as they provide sun to boost Cinderace's Pyro Ball damage and can help by removing entry hazards from the field and healing Cinderace with Healing Wish, respectively. In return, Cinderace can keep hazards off for Ninetales and Torkoal, letting them run Heat Rock to maximize sun's duration. Ogerpon-H, Gouging Fire, and Ceruledge all appreciate support from Cinderace, as it can keep hazards off their side, bolstering their sweeping potential, while they can break through defensive cores in the Flying and Dragon matchups, effortlessly disposing of Gliscor, Dragonite, opposing Gouging Fire, and Garchomp. Air Balloon Heatran is another great partner for Cinderace, as it deals with Toxapex, Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and Gouging Fire. Finally, both variants of Volcarona benefit from Court Change support. Defensive Volcarona checks IronPress Zamazenta and can spread burns against foes like Great Tusk and Clodsire with Will-O-Wisp to facilitate a late-game sweep from Cinderace, while offensive Volcarona can hit a wide array of targets such as Gastrodon, Hippowdon, Swampert, and Toxapex with the appropriate coverage in Giga Drain and Psychic.

Cinderace is a great asset to Fire teams due to its mix of offensive presence and utility. Pyro Ball deals a lot of damage under sun and comes with the nice touch of not activating Libero. Libero-boosted High Jump Kick provides valuable coverage, hitting Archaludon, and Pokémon with a Fire resistance such as Hydreigon and Garganacl. Low Kick is an alternative, letting Cinderace deal decent damage to most heavy foes such as Archaludon and Iron Hands (ideally you have better outs vs hands anyway, youre basically just sacking cinder if ur staying in to low kick tbh, put Heatran as an example instead) without the large risk of High Jump Kick's crash damage. Libero-boosted Sucker Punch OHKOes (unless im calcing wrong, it doesnt ohko either of them, it has a roll but its quite low, i would reword it to has a chance or has a good chance with entry hazards up idk) Choice Specs Dragapult and Latios that resist the Fire-Fighting combo and can also pick up kills on weakened foes. U-turn is can be used as an option over on both High Jump Kick and Sucker Punch, letting Cinderace keep momentum against foes it cannot threaten out like defensive Great Tusk and Garchomp, at the cost of some coverage. Lastly, Court Change gives Cinderace hazard control, helping the team stay healthy.

Torkoal and Ninetales are natural teammates for Cinderace, as they provide sun to boost Cinderace's Pyro Ball damage and can help, as well, by removing hazards from the field and heal Cinderace with Healing Wish, respectively. In return, Cinderace can keep hazards off for Ninetales and Torkoal, letting them run Heat Rock to maximize weather's duration. Ogerpon-H, Gouging Fire, and Ceruledge all appreciate support from Cinderace, as it can keep hazards off their side, hence bolstering their sweeping potential, while they can break through defensive cores in the Flying and Dragon matchups, effortlessly disposing of Gliscor, Dragonite, opposing Gouging Fire, and Garchomp. Air Balloon Heatran is another great partner for Cinderace, as it deals with Toxapex and Choice Specs Flutter Mane and often needs a form of hazard control to avoid unnecessary chips (mention how its basically your only safety net vs gouging fire). Finally, both variants of Volcarona benefit from Court Change support. Defensive Volcarona checks IronPress Zamazenta and can spread burns against foes like Great Tusk and Clodsire with Will-O-Wisp to facilitate a late-game sweep from Cinderace, while Offensive Volcarona can hit a wide array of targets such as Gastrodon, Hippowdon, Swampert, and Toxapex with the appropriate coverage in Giga Drain and Psychic. and Swampert with Giga Drain; Toxapex, Zamazenta, and Great Tusk with Psychic. (felt too wordy + you already mentioned how zamazenta is essentially checked)
