Trainer Tips

Cinderace is a Fire-type Pokemon with a stat total of 591. With its high Attack stat (238), Cinderace is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Watch out for Ground, Rock, Water-type moves when using Cinderace. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Cinderace's performance.

Cinderace's moves get a damage boost in Sunny weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 10,000 Stardust and 25 Candy. With 5 charged moves available, a second move gives Cinderace much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Situational
Cinderace is a solid but not elite Fire-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#26) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,412 and base stats of 238/163/190, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Fire-type counters. The best moveset is Fire Spin paired with Pyroball. Consider investing if you need a Fire-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Cinderace in Pokemon GO?
Cinderace's best moveset is Fire Spin (fast) and Pyroball (charged), providing 16.1 DPS as a Fire-type attacker. This combination maximizes damage output thanks to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), strong energy generation from the fast move, and high DPE (damage per energy) on the charged move.
What are Cinderace's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Cinderace is weak to Ground, Rock, Water-type moves. On the other hand, Cinderace resists Bug, Fairy, Fire, Grass, Ice, Steel-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Cinderace effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Cinderace's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Cinderace's maximum CP is 3,412 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 3,018 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Cinderace's CP is calculated from its base stats: 238 Attack, 163 Defense, and 190 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Cinderace caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,724 CP, or 2,156 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Cinderace?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Cinderace has the following CP at key levels: 1,293 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,724 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 2,156 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 3,412 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Cinderace, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Cinderace ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Cinderace in Pokemon GO?
Cinderace is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Raboot with 100 Candy). Cinderace can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Cinderace be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Cinderace's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Cinderace availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
