Cinderace is a powerful physical attacker because of its incredible Speed, which allows it to outpace the likes of Nidoking and Kyurem, combined with its Libero ability and high Attack stat. Pyro Ball targets threats like Volcarona, Tapu Lele, and Galarian Zapdos. Sucker Punch lets it check faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Blacephalon, Barraskewda, and Dragapult. Low Kick targets threats that can take Pyro Ball such as Porygon2, Hydreigon, Tyranitar, and Heatran. Bulk Up takes advantage of forced switches, allowing Cinderace to threaten walls such as Mandibuzz and Galarian Corsola, while also making it harder to revenge kill. Gunk Shot threatens Fairy-types such as Tapu Fini and Azumarill that resist Cinderace's other moves. A Jolly nature allows Cinderace to remove common threats like Hydreigon, Galarian Zapdos, and Terrakion.

Volcarona is a powerful setup sweeper that breaks through physical walls that Cinderace struggles to get past such as Hippowdon, Slowbro, and Toxapex. Choice Scarf Blachephalon is another solid option for dealing with troublesome physical walls such as Galarian Corsola and Slowbro, revenge kills foes, and can clean types such as Flying, Psychic, and Poison late-game. Offensive trapper Heatran can trap and remove annoying walls that check Cinderace such as Toxapex, Galarian Corsola, and Mandibuzz. Choice Band Victini can wear down and remove bothersome walls such as Landorus-T and Mantine. Torkoal is an outstanding teammate for Cinderace, as it makes Pyro Ball even more powerful with sun support, sets Stealth Rock to make Cinderace secure more KOs, and also provides Rapid Spin support. Volcanion provides Water immunity and can deal with major threats such as Belly Drum Azumarill. Dual screens Rotom-H gives Cinderace an easier time setting up while also providing Ground immunity with Levitate, and it can also target Flying-types such as Mantine with its Nasty Plot set.
