Cinderace @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Libero
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fire Lash
- U-turn
- High Jump Kick
- Zen Headbutt / Court Change

Cinderace hops around the competition in STABmons with the combination of Fire Lash and U-turn to wear down walls. The Defense drop from Fire Lash makes bulky Water-type switch-ins like Slowbro, Toxapex, and Seismitoad prone to chip damage from one of Cinderace's coverage moves. Libero makes Cinderace somewhat difficult to properly deal with, as it can change its type in an instant to take less damage from attacks like Thousand Waves from Seismitoad and Hippowdon. High Jump Kick is its strongest coverage move, allowing Cinderace to break past Heatran and Tyranitar while dealing heavy damage to Seismitoad and Rotom-W in the process. Zen Headbutt allows Cinderace to break past Toxapex after a Fire Lash, but it should still be wary of Toxapex as it can hinder Cinderace by burning it or removing its item with Knock Off. Court Change is another option for the last moveslot to catch entry hazard stacking teams off guard, but maximum coverage is usually preferred. Cinderace is rather frail, so having slow pivots that can safely bring it in such as Corviknight, Seismitoad, or Toxapex helps tremendously. Cinderace is great at pivoting other strong breakers such as Excadrill, Nidoking, Gengar, and Aerodactyl onto the field, so be sure to utilize the switches it forces as much as possible!

Cinderace hops around the competition in STABmons with a combination of Fire Lash and U-turn to wear down walls. Cinderace's Libero ability makes it particularly difficult to deal with properly, as it can change its type in an instant to resist your attack. The Defense drop from Fire Lash makes bulky Water-type switch-ins like Slowbro, Toxapex, and Seismitoad prone to chip damage from one of Cinderace's coverage moves. Additionally, Cinderace's Libero makes it somewhat difficult to deal with properly, as it can change its type in an instant to resist attacks like Terrakion's Accelerock. (this is less important that defense drop point; I think it is also need exemple for "resists attacks" point) High Jump Kick is its strongest coverage moves that allows Cinderace to break past Heatran and Tyranitar while dealing heavy damage to Seismitoad and Rotom-Wash in the process. Zen Headbutt allows Cinderace to break past Toxapex after a Fire Lash (Nidoking could be also mentionned here?), but you should still be wary of Toxapex's moves as it can hinder Cinderace in mulitple ways (how? this is vague). Court Change is another option for the last moveslot to catch entry hazard stacking teams off guard, but maximum coverage is usually preferred. if you have enough characters, then mention that it benefits from HDB Cinderace is great at pivoting into other strong breakers for your team such as Excadrill, Nidoking, Gengar, and Aerodactyl, so be sure to utilize its forced switches as much as possible! I think i'd maaaybe mention 1-2 pivots users to bring Cinde safety in the field?

Pretty good, QC 1/1 when implemented and hmu on discord if you struggle for characters
