Is there a competitive format where special Cinderace is viable?

Cinderace itself is in Ubers tier currently, which means that it was banned from OU . It’s not doing well in the format dominated by legendaries.

It is worth mentioning that Ace is a physical glasscannon, with a great 116 atk base stat and a 119 base speed stat with everything else being low. The lowest stat is it’s Special Attack, only at 65 which is terrible

In other words,Special Cinderaceis not worth using

In standard formats (like OU, Ubers, etc.), Cinderace is unviable. It finds itself in a position where it is too good for OU, but not good enough for Ubers. Because of this, Cinderace finds itself rather unviable.

However, in other still standard formats, Cinderace is extremely viable. One of these is Monotype. Cinderace possesses a great Speed and Attack stat which allows it to cripple opposing mons. Cinderace is the only S ranked Pokemon in the Fire Monotype Viability Ranks.

Cinderace is also great in Battle Stadium Singles. Combined with Gigantamax, Cinderace’s damage output combined with the ability to increase Attack and Speed make it overwhelming. It is also S rank in this tier.

These are the only formats in which Cinderace is viable.
