[SET COMMENTS]
Swords Dance Cinderace serves as a dangerous wallbreaker, as it easily exploits would-be checks thanks to its ability, Libero. Double-Edge becomes a STAB move after using Swords Dance, allowing Cinderace to not only wound Pokemon like Toxapex and Slowbro but also OHKO them with Normalium Z. High Jump Kick KOes Heatran and Mega Tyranitar, while Sucker Punch threatens faster Pokemon like Dragapult and Tornadus-T. Pokemon that can set entry hazards such as Landorus-T, Garchomp, Ferrothorn, and Ting-Lu help Cinderace break through its checks like Great Tusk and Tera Dragon Skarmory. Cinderace is vulnerable to faster Pokemon such as Mega Lopunny, Zamazenta, and Tapu Koko, so Pokemon like Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Landorus-T are good teammates. Cinderace also benefits from dual screens from Tapu Koko and Shed Tail from Cyclizar, allowing it to safely set up and start wreaking havoc on the opponent. Pokemon that can wear down Great Tusk, Skeledirge, and Tera Dragon Skarmory such as Iron Valiant, Mega Gyarados, and Dragapult form great offensive cores with Cinderace, which, in return, threatens Pokemon like Toxapex, Kingambit, and Mega Scizor. Entry hazard removers such as Tornadus-T, Great Tusk, and the aforementioned Cyclizar support Cinderace's Stealth Rock weakness.
