What Are Some Good OU Counters to Cinderace?

Currently, my team just gets wrecked by Cinderace. I usually have to sacrifice 2 or 3 of my Pokémon until I Toxic stall it to death. This happens because of all the coverage moves Cinderace has, so I can’t switch into anything On my team out of fear. If it helps, I currently use a Toxapex with Toxic, Recover and Baneful Bunker, but that sometimes fails. So, what are some good Counter/Checks? Thanks in advance!

Hippowdon

Hippowdon is probably the best counter to Cinderace. It has a whopping 118 base defense, Slack Off for recovery, and Whirlwind to blow away a Cinderace trying to Bulk Up to power through Hippowdon.

Mandibuzz

Slowbro

Slowbro has a very good 110 defense, Regenerator and Slack Off for recovery, Teleport for pivoting, and Scald for a burn chance when Cinderace is not Fire type. You could also run Thunder Wave to stop the Bulk Up + Sucker Punch sets. Most unboosted U-turns/Sucker Punches will 3HKO at best if running Max HP and Defense EVs, so Cinderace can’t really do much. Oddly enough some Cinderace opt to run Electro Ball, so watch out for that, because it will OHKO any Slowbro not invested in Special Defense.

These are probably the only three Pokemon that can reliably handle Cinderace.

Hope this helped!
