Ability: Libero

Jolly Nature
- Bulk Up
- Pyro Ball
- High Jump Kick
- Double-Edge

Bulk Up Cinderace is one of the most terrifying threats in the National Dex metagame thanks to its incredible Speed, high Attack, and an outstanding ability in Libero. This set uses a boosted Breakneck Blitz to break through nearly every one of its checks in Gliscor, Slowbro, Garchomp, Tapu Fini, and Toxapex. In addition, Bulk Up also makes it harder for the likes of Weavile and Landorus-T to revenge kill Cinderace. Pyro Ball and High Jump Kick make short work of the Steel-types that can otherwise stomach a +1 Breakneck Blitz. Cinderace finds itself on hyper offensive teams alongside Pokemon like Shift Gear Magearna, Swords Dance Rillaboom, and Mega Gyarados. All of them appreciate Cinderace's ability to lure and weaken Toxapex and Landorus-T while taking care of Mega Slowbro and Alomomola, which Cinderace can't break through. Entry hazard support from Landorus-T and Mew is a great option for wearing down Cinderace's checks into the KO range of its attacks. Victini and the aforementioned Landorus-T can lure and eliminate Cinderace's checks thanks to Final Gambit and Explosion, respectively.

Bulk Up Cinderace is one of the most terrifying threats in the National Dex metagame thanks to its incredible Speed, high Attack, and an outstanding ability in Libero. This set uses a boosted Breakneck Blitz to break through sturdy checks in Gliscor and Slowbro -this doesn't do enough justice to Normalium Z; Slowbro and Gliscor aren't the only checks threatened by it, almost all of its checks are- . Bulk Up allows Cinderace to hit these targets incredibly hard, while also preventing Pokemon like Greninja and Choice Scarf Landorus-T from revenge killing it as easily -the first part of this sentence is already implied by the previous sentence. Beyond that, Bulk Up doesn't really prevent Cinderace from being revenged by Greninja, that still depends on its typing at the moment and it obviously isn't setting up in Greninja's face. Consider changing it to something like 'Beyond powering up Breakneck Blitz to lethal levels, Bulk Up also prevents Cinderace from being revenge killed easily by Weavile and Choice Scarf Landorus-T'-. Pyro Ball and High Jump Kick make quick work of the Steel-types like Corviknight and Heatran that can otherwise stomach a +1 Breakneck Blitz. This Cinderace finds itself on hyper offensive teams alongside Pokemon like Shift Gear Magearna, Swords Dance Rillaboom, and Mega Gyarados. All of them appreciate Cinderace’s ability to lure and weaken Toxapex, (RC) and Landorus-T, and Tapu Fini -Rillaboom doesn't need this-. In return, they can pressure some of Cinderace's few checks in Mega Slowbro and Alomomola. Entry hazards are a great option for wearing down Cinderace‘s checks into the range of its attacks, so Landorus-T and Mew are great options alongside it. -be sure to specify Landorus-T's ability to force trades with Explosion, and include Victini's Final Gambit too-
good job, 1/1
