What item should I give my Cinderace?
I have my starter Cinderence without a held item. I gave his charcoal to a different Pokémon so I’m not giving it that. I want to get it an item, so what should I give it? Here are his stats:
Lv100 Cinderence @no held itemAbility: Libero- Revenge- Flame charge- Pyro Ball- Fire Pledge

Ok, let’s start with its moveset. It has3Fire Type moves which isnotrecommended. Fire Pledge may be a good move on other Fire Type Pokemon, but not Cinderace. With 65 Sp. A, Fire Pledge will barely do anything. Using Physical moves with a 116 attack is a lot better. I will put a moveset and recommended items for Cinderace down below. Now, in-game, Cinderace is a great Pokemon to use and in-game, and this moveset is recommended:
So Revenge is not the best choice because Cinderace has a great 119 Speed but Revenge is -4 priority, making it likely to move last. However, it may double power if your opponent attacks you. Low Sweep is for the Rock Gym, which Gordie has many heavy Pokemon, thus making Low Sweep powerful. Low Kick is to lower the speed of fast threats and has decent power. U-turn is for pivoting, while Blaze Kick is for when you run out of Pyro Balls.
Now, lets move on to competitively. Cinderace is also a good Pokemon in competitive, being put in the Ubers tier after the release of its Hidden Ability, Libero. A good item to use is Life Orb, raising its attack. However, Life Orb takes away 10% of your health every turn, which is not good. Another good choice competitively is Heavy-Duty Boots. It prevents it from getting poisoned from Toxic Spikes and taking damage from Stealth Rocks and Spikes. Here is the competitive moveset:
Hope I helped!
First, I am going answer this for both in-game and for the Battle Tower. However, we need to change your moveset a little. Cinderace should not have 3 Fire moves and a Special Move. It should be taking advantage of its great 116 Attack Stat. My proposed moveset it Pyro Ball, Zen Headbutt, Gunk Shot and Iron Head/U-Turn. Now, onto held item. I would go with a Life Orb or a Choice Band for Cinderace here. Life Orb/Choice Band for the Battle Tree, but just a Choice Band for just regular battles. Don’t want to heal Cinderace every 5 seconds. Both of these items greatly boost its attacking capability to KO many opponents that it may lack otherwise which is why I choose them. For which item to choose, choose Life Orb for the freedom of selecting moves, or Choice Band for slightly more power overall with no HP lost. Also, these are arguably the best items for Cinderace in Competitive as well (Excluding Heavy Duty Boots due to the no usage of hazards in these places).Hope this helps!
