Cinderace is a good bulky pivot thanks to its high Speed, good Attack, and utility options in Will-O-Wisp and Court Change. These traits along with its typing let Cinderace act as a soft check to Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Kartana, and Mega Scizor, which is useful on offense and bulky offense teams. Will-O-Wisp cripples physically offensive Pokemon like Great Tusk, Garchomp, and Mega Mawile. Court Change helps temporarily keep off entry hazards, especially from the likes of Ferrothorn, while High Jump Kick OHKOes Mega Tyranitar and deals heavy damage to Heatran and Mega Diance. The given EV spread allows Cinderace to outspeed Iron Valiant and 2HKO maximum HP Galarian Slowking with Pyro Ball. Tera Fire bolsters Pyro Ball's damage, letting it OHKO offensive Volcarona and 2HKO Gliscor after Stealth Rock. Cinderace can form a VoltTurn core with other pivots like Tapu Koko and Meowscarada, as they can take advantage of its checks like Toxapex, Alomomola, and Rotom-W. In return, Cinderace can pivot in to help deal with their checks like Ferrothorn and Heatran. Cinderace struggles to damage defensive Pokemon like Zapdos, Landorus-T, and Great Tusk, making offensive teammates like Iron Boulder, Meowscarada, and Urshifu-R good options to help weaken or outright OHKO them. Teammates like Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko can benefit from Cinderace's ability to often burn Ground-types like Landorus-T, Great Tusk, and Garchomp, making it much easier to chip them down while reducing the power of their Ground-type STAB.

Cinderace is a good bulky pivot thanks to its high Speed, good Attack, great ability, washed ability L (still decent but i wouldnt say it's great) and utility options in Will-O-Wisp and Court Change letting it do what? Some things you could mention like serving as a soft check to Iron Valiant, Kartana, Serperior, Volcarona, Mega Scizor on offense/bulky offense teams. For further depth, you could mention how its positive MU vs ferro helps it court change more effectively. Will-O-Wisp cripples setup sweepers and offensive Pokemon like Mega Lopunny, Kartana, mlop will usually either kill you or uturn out, why would you ever wisp a kart instead of clicking pyro? Great Tusk, Garchomp, and and Mega Mawile. Court Change helps temporarily keep off entry hazards, while High Jump Kick OHKOes offensive Heatran, Darkrai, and Mega Tyranitar, while also hitting foes like Garganacl, Ting-Lu, and Mega Diancie. Mega Diancie, Mega Tyranitar, and deals heavy damage to Heatran. just thinning down on examples here This given EV spread allows Cinderace to outspeed Iron Valiant, the Attack EVs 2HKO maximum HP clarifying since physdef gking does exist Galarian Slowking with Pyro Ball. Tera Fire bolster's Pyro Ball's damage, letting it OHKO offensive Volcarona and 2HKO Gliscor after Stealth Rock. Cinderace can appreciate forming a VoltTurn core with other pivots like Tapu Koko and Meowscarada, as they can take advantage of its checks like Toxapex, (AC) and Alomomola, and Rotom-W. In Return, Cinderace can pivot it to help deal with their checks like Ferrothorn and Heatran Mega Scizor. Cinderace can struggle to break defensive Pokemon like Zapdos, Landorus-T, and Great Tusk, which can make offense teammates like Iron Boulder, Meowscarada, and Urshifu-R to be continued...? maybe say, "good options to help weaken or outright eliminate them". Cinderace's mediorce defenses in combination with its weakness to Ground- and Water-types can make it easy to threaten, which makes defensive teammates that offer a backbone to it like Clefable, Ferrothorn, and Garganacl appreciated. feels very undescriptive and vague, cut this for some teammates who benefit from ace's ability to often get burns on stuff like LandoT/Great Tusk/Garchomp (perhaps tie back to how the aforementioned Tapu Koko as well as Raging Bolt benefit from it softening up ground-types for them?)

Cinderace is a good bulky pivot thanks to its high Speed, good Attack, and utility options in Will-O-Wisp and Court Change, that. These traits along with its typing let it Cinderace slight restructuring since it's mainly your typing that lets you check these act as a soft check to Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Kartana, and Mega Scizor on offense and bulky offense teams. Its postive matchup against entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn can also let it use Court Change more effectively. Will-O-Wisp cripples setup sweepers and offensive Pokemon like Great Tusk, Garchomp, and Mega Mawile. Court Change helps temporarily keep off entry hazards, especially from the likes of Ferrothorn, moved this down here since this is where you talk about court change primarily while High Jump Kick OHKOes Mega Diancie, Mega Tyranitar, and deals heavy damage to Heatran. This given EV spread allows Cinderace to outspeed Iron Valiant, the Attack EVs 2HKO maximum HP Galarian Slowking with Pyro Ball. Tera Fire bolster's Pyro Ball's damage, letting it OHKO offensive Volcarona and 2HKO Gliscor after Stealth Rock.

Cinderace can struggle to break defensive Pokemon like Zapdos, Landorus-T, and Great Tusk, which can make offense teammates like Iron Boulder, Meowscarada, and Urshifu-R good options to help weaken or outright KO them. gp-ish thing, but i feel this could flow better with a few transition words at the start of a few of the sentences around here. sounds kinda bullet point-like Pokemon Teammates like Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko can benefit from Cinderace's ability to often get burns on Ground-types like Landorus-T, Great Tusk, and Garchomp, making it much easier to chip them down while reducing the power of their Ground-type STAB felt like this added some more insight into how it assists them, feel free to alter wording as you please.
