How does Cinderace improve with Final Flare and Fire Ball?
Cinderace, known as the “Forward Pokémon”, stands out for its design inspired by soccer players and its ability to perform powerful inflamed kicks. However, his statistics are not the best: ATA 238, DEF 163 and PS 190which makes it fragile in combat. Even so, his new movements position him as a relevant fire attacker:
Final Flare: The move that saves him
Final Flare is a Fire-type charged attack with alto DPS and energy efficiency. According to recent analysis, Cinderace with Final Flare significantly improves her raid performancealthough it still does not surpass the best Fire attackers such as Reshiram, Entei o Shadow Moltres. However, It is the best among the Fire type starters in Pokémon GOoutperforming Shadow Delphox in damage simulations.
Igneous Ball: Raw power, but with limitations
Igneous Ball, with 150 power in raidsis a powerful option, but its high energy cost makes it less versatile than Final Flare. It is ideal for Team Battles (cooperative mode), where its massive damage can be decisive. In GO Battle League, its usefulness is limited due to the lack of secondary move coverage.
Where does Cinderace shine?
Despite not being the best at raids, Cinderace has two scenarios where it stands out:
- As the best Fire type starter: If you’re looking for themed gear or don’t have access to legendaries, Cinderace is a great option.
- In Maximum Battles with his Gigantamax form: Gigamax Cinderace is currently the best Fire type attacker in Maximum Battlesthanks to its exclusive movement G-Max Bola Ignea and its high attack (262 in Gigantamax form). It is especially useful against bosses like G-Max Rillaboom.
Gigamax Cinderace: The King of Maximum Battles
Cinderace’s Gigantamax form is not only visually impressive, but it is also the most powerful among Fire-type Pokémon in Maximum Battles. Your combination of Tackle (to generate energy quickly) and G-Max Fire Ball turns it into a boss destroyer. Furthermore, its fragility is compensated by using it as an attacker in the Maximum phase, where the objective is to inflict the most damage possible in the shortest time.
If you plan to participate in Maximum Battles, this Community Day is the perfect opportunity to accumulate Candies and XL Candies and boost your Gigamax Cinderace.
Is XL Candy worth farming?
Yes, but with a clear focus:
- If you are looking for a Fire attacker for raidsprioritizes Cinderace only if you don’t have alternatives like Reshiram or Shadow Moltres.
- If you are interested in Maximum Battles, Gigamax Cinderace is a must-have investment.
- If you are a collector or like themed equipment, Cinderace with Final Flare is a valuable addition.
Conclusion: Should you participate in Scorbunny’s Community Day?
Scorbunny Community Day is not a “must” for all trainers, but it offers unique opportunities:
- Final Flare makes Cinderace relevant in raids, even if it’s not top-tier.
- Igneous ball adds versatility, especially in Team Battles.
- Gigamax Cinderace dominates Ultimate Battles and will continue to be useful in the future.
- Las Improved Shiny Chances and the XL Candy bonuses make it worth playing, even if you’re not a Scorbunny fan.
In summary: If you like PvE challenges, Maximum Battles or Shiny Pokémon, this event is for you. Don’t miss the opportunity to add Cinderace to your team!
