[SET COMMENTS]
Cinderace's high Attack and Speed combined with great coverage options and Swords Dance turn it into a powerful wallbreaker and cleaner. High Jump Kick threatens Roaring Moon and OHKOes Well-Baked Body Kingambit, while Gunk Shot threatens to cripple switch-ins such as Manaphy, Zapdos, Kommo-o, and physically defensive Garchomp. Life Orb lets High Jump Kick OHKO RegenVest Roaring Moon and lets Gunk Shot 2HKO Primordial Sea Zapdos, while Heavy-Duty Boots increases Cinderace's longevity. Desolate Land lets Cinderace come in on and force out Primordial Sea users like Zapdos if safely pivoted in by a teammate while also letting +2 Life Orb-boosted Pyro Ball OHKO defensive Great Tusk. Sword of Ruin + Heavy-Duty Boots provides more damage on Cinderace's coverage moves at the cost of a worse matchup into Primordial Sea and lowered damage on Pyro Ball. Fast cleaners such as Barraskewda and Dragonite appreciate Cinderace's ability to pressure their walls like Corviknight and Scream Tail, opening up the way for them to sweep late-game. Special pivots like Azelf, Zapdos, and Walking Wake are appreciated, as they can pivot Cinderace in against their switch-ins, such as Empoleon and Hisuian Goodra. Cinderace's frailty means it's easily revenge killed by most Pokemon faster than it like Chien-Pao and Choice Scarf Azelf, so teammates that can take a hit for it and pivot it in such as Corviknight and Manaphy are appreciated. Cinderace is also completely walled by Well-Baked Body Gholdengo, so teammates that can threaten it like Garchomp and Roaring Moon are appreciated.

High Jump Kick threatens Roaring Moon and OHKOes Well-Baked Body Kingambit, while Gunk Shot threatens to cripple switch-ins such as Manaphy, Zapdos, Kommo-o, and physically defensive Garchomp. Life Orb lets High Jump Kick OHKO RegenVest Roaring Moon and lets Gunk Shot 2HKO Primordial Sea Zapdos if running Desolate Land, while Heavy-Duty Boots increases Cinderace's longevity. Desolate Land lets Cinderace come in on and force out Primordial Sea users like Zapdos and Barraskewda if safely pivoted in by a teammate while also letting Cinderace OHKO defensive Great Tusk after a Swords Dance with Life Orb. Sword of Ruin provides slightly higher damage than Life Orb on High Jump Kick and Gunk Shot with the benefit of not taking any chip damage at the cost of being unable to check the aforementioned Primordial Sea users Sword of Ruin + Heavy-Duty Boots provides more damage on Cinderace's coverage moves at the cost of a worse matchup into Primordial Sea. Fast cleaners such as Barraskewda and Weavile appreciate Cinderace's ability to pressure their walls like Corviknight and Scream Tail, opening up the way for them to sweep late-game. Cinderace's fraility means it's easily revenge killed by most Pokemon faster than it give examples, so teammates who can take a hit for it and pivot it in such as Corviknight and Manaphy are appreciated. I would also mention special pivots to get it in on stuff it threatens, stuff like Azelf and Zapdos

Life Orb lets High Jump Kick OHKO RegenVest Roaring Moon and lets Gunk Shot 2HKO Primordial Sea Zapdos if running Desolate Land removed since gunk will 2hko with sor, and sounds somewhat misleqding, while Heavy-Duty Boots increases Cinderace's longevity. Desolate Land lets Cinderace come in on and force out Primordial Sea users like Zapdos and Barraskewda sus mention since skewda occasionally runs drill run if safely pivoted in by a teammate while also letting Cinderace OHKO defensive Great Tusk after a Swords Dance with Life Orb. Sword of Ruin + Heavy-Duty Boots provides more damage on Cinderace's coverage moves at the cost of a worse matchup into Primordial Sea sor also makes pyro do less damage. Fast cleaners such as Barraskewda and Weavile dnite here works appreciate Cinderace's ability to pressure their walls like Corviknight and Scream Tail, opening up the way for them to sweep late-game. Special pivots like Azelf, Zapdos, and Walking Wake are appreciated as they can pivot it in against their switchins, such as Empoleon and Hisuian Goodra.
