Cinderace @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Libero
Tera Type: Fire

Jolly Nature
- Pyro Ball
- U-turn
- Gunk Shot
- Sucker Punch

Cinderace is quick to score damage thanks to Libero and excels as a fast offensive pivot on balance and offense structures. Due to the massive offensive pressure Cinderace can exert with its coverage, it is highly effective as a pivot and can capitalize on forced switches with U-turn. Gunk Shot allows Cinderace to turn the tables on Primarina and break past Clefable while possibly crippling checks such as Alomomola and Moltres with poison. Sucker Punch prevents speedy threats like Dragapult and Deoxys-S from KOing Cinderace while also allowing it to revenge kill weakened threats like Darkrai and Walking Wake in sun. Tera Fire skyrockets Pyro Ball’s damage, allowing Cinderace to potentially 2HKO specially defensive Gliscor after Protect and OHKO bulky Kingambit. Kyurem and Ogerpon-W fit well with Cinderace, as they are able to offensively pressure its checks like Landorus-T, Gliscor, and Alomomola and appreciate the pivoting Cinderace provides. Cinderace loves a strong defensive core that can take on threats such as Landorus-T, Speed Booster Energy Great Tusk, and Raging Bolt, so Corviknight and Galarian Slowking make excellent allies. The pair can also provide slow pivoting for Cinderace against foes like Gholdengo and Tinkaton.

Cinderace is quick to score damage thanks to Libero and excels as a fast offensive Heavy-Duty Boots pivot on balance and offense structures. Pyro Ball is Cinderace’s very strong signature move that can nail staples such as Corviknight and Gholdengo for massive damage. U-turn allows Cinderace to scout predictable switch-ins such as Landorus-T and Moltres while maintaining momentum. (pyro as stab and uturn enabling it to act as a pivot are pretty self-explanatory for spotlight purposes so i'd rather highlight more important aspects; instead, you can say how it's an effective pivot since with your coverage moves you can force switches easily, which it can capitalize on with uturn. and from there, the paragraph will flow better as you talk about what gunk and sucker hits) Gunk Shot allows Cinderace to turn the tables on Primarina and wallbreak past Clefable (mention how the poison chance is good to cripple checks like moltres and alomomola). Sucker Punch prevents speedy threats like Dragapult and Deoxys-S from KOing Cinderace while also allowing it to block Thunderclap from Raging Bolt (it has little reason to click clap on ace most of the time since you're generally fodder) and Sucker Punch from Kingambit. (u deal 0 damage unless they tera + if your set is unrevealed then they wont sucker on fear of wisp. just mention faster mons you can pick off if they're weakened enough, like walking wake in sun or something) Tera Fire skyrockets Pyro Ball’s damage, allowing Cinderace to potentially 2HKO specially defensive Gliscor after Protect and OHKO bulky Kingambit. Cinderace appreciates a strong defensive core to U-Turn into that can take on threats such as Landorus-T, Primarina, (gunked) and Raging Bolt, so Corviknight and Galarian Slowking make excellent allies. The pair can also provide slow pivoting for Cinderace via U-turn and Chilly Reception. (swtich the corv glowking and kyurem waterpon sentences w each other since the offensive partners are more relevant) Kyurem and Ogerpon-W also fit well with Cinderace as they are able to offensively pressure these threats and appreciate the pivoting Cinderace provides. Cinderace’s longevity can be severely crippled if its Heavy-Duty Boots are Knocked Off, so Knock Off absorbers such as Gliscor or entry hazard removers such as the aforementioned Corviknight make great teammates. As Cinderace often forces switches with Pyro Ball, Pokemon that can punish switching with entry hazards such as Ting-Lu and Garganacl make outstanding partners. (removed least useful infos due to character limit)
ping me once this is implemented

Cinderace appreciates loves (avoids repetition) a strong defensive core to U-Turn into that can (also covers faster mons that will force you to hard switch instead of just uturning) take on threats such as Landorus-T and Raging Bolt Landorus-T, Speed Booster Energy Great Tusk, and Raging Bolt, so Corviknight and Galarian Slowking make excellent allies.

GP Team done
 
Implemented except the crippling part. The original idea was Cinderace could cripple them with the poison chance from Gunk Shot and not with the damage. Tried to make that more clear.
