Pokémon Scarlet And Violet: Cinderace

A unique Tera Raid battle event is the Cinderace event, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This event will only be available for a short time. Your abilities will once more be put to the test in this event as players try to defeat a starter Pokémon with superpowers. Mark Charizard has just been finished, much as in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Therefore, they are introducing the upcoming big Tera Raid challenge to grab players’ interest.

The raids from Pokémon Sword and Shield are comparable to Tera Raids. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s Tera raids are of different types that Pokemon may transform into using the Terastal Phenomenon of the Paldea region. The difficulty of defeating the boss is indicated with a star rating for each Tera Raid.

Cinderace Tera Raid Time And Details

A Cinderace with the Mightiest Mark will show up in 7-Star black crystal Tera Raid Battles, according to the official Pokemon website. Cinderace raid will be available for two windows, the first of which will be at the close of the current year and the second at the beginning of the next year. The event follows the same format as the Charizard Tera Raid events. There are the following windows:

• Friday, December 30, 2022, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 1, 2023, at 23:59 UTC
• Friday, January 13, 2023, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, January 15, 2023, at 23:59 UTC

You could only capture one Charizard throughout the previous event’s two weekends, but there is no limit on how many rewards you may get. However, there is no rule for this event, so you can capture both Cinderace or just one. However, it’s more likely that you can only catch one Cinderace. The 7-Star Cinderace will have the Fighting Tera Type. You can challenge this Cinderace repeatedly, but you can catch it only once.

How To Unlock The 7-Star Cinderace Raid

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you must follow the same steps as you did for the Charizard Tera Raid Battle event in order to unlock the Cinderace Tera Raid.

• Then, to view the news, open the Poke Portal and hit +.
• You must finish the post-credits Academy Ace Tournament in order to unlock 6-Star Raids, as well as beat 15 5-Star Tera Raids, in order to view the 7-Star Black Tera Crystals in your game.
• By signing up for Tera Raid Battles online, you may take part in the raids.
• You require a paid Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play online, but you also need to unlock 6-Star raids in order to compete in the 7-Star Cinderace Raid Battle.

How To Beat The Cinderace Tera Raid Battle

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Cinderace will be at level 100, much like all other 7-Star raid bosses, and will be equipped with a fighting Tera type.

Cinderace Stats

• Type: Fighting Tera Type
• Weakness: Psychic, Fairy, Flying
• Abilities: Libero (Hidden), Blaze

Moves:

• Pyro Ball (Fire)
• Acrobatics (Flying)
• Bulk Up (Buffs)
• Iron Head (Steel)
• High Jump Kick (Fighting)

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Cinderace possesses two abilities. When your HP is less than one-third of your maximum health, Blaze raises the Cinderace damage of Fire-type moves by 50%. Using Libero, Cinderace has the ability to change its Pokemon type to match the type of next move. Each time Cinderace enters the fray, he is permitted to employ this power.

• Cinderace is capable of using a few moves but not all of them.
• In every battle, he uses Bulk Up, which essentially boosts his defense and attacks.
• And he employs Pyro Ball more frequently.
• The majority of Cinderace’s moves are physical, such as Pyro Ball and High Jump Kick.
• Cinderace attacks in four different ways, and to cope with them, you mostly need a good defense.

Best Counters for Cinderace

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, due to the fire type of this Cinderace’s Pokemon and the intensity of its fire attack, you must choose a Pokemon that can sustain battles with it. You must ensure that your Pokemon are not susceptible to Cinderace’s base type. For instance, if you decide to employ Corviknight as your Pokemon, its flying moves will be able to inflict some damage to Cinderace, but its steel-type would make it susceptible to the fire moves of the Cinderace.

In order to defeat Cinderace, you must take specific precautions while selecting a Pokemon to ensure that it is not susceptible to Cinderace base type. It will be essential for you to enhance your Pokémon’s defense or reduce Cinderace’s stats back down.

The top counters for the fighting-type Cinderace Tera Raid boss include Slowbro, Armarouge, and Espathra. These three Pokémon may do greater damage even after receiving many Bulk Ups since they are psychic-type attackers. These three are superior to others since they allow you to battle Cinderace by yourself, without the aid of any friends.

Espathra

• Nature: Modest
• Ability: Opportunist
• Type: Psychic Tera Type
• EVs: 252 HP / 252 Defense / 4 Special Attack
• IVs: Maxed HP, Defense, Special Attack
• Held Item: Light Clay or Shell Bell
• Moves: Lumina Crash, Reflect (TM 74), Feather Dance, Roost, and Helping Hand

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Espathra is the perfect foil to Cinderace. You must repeatedly use Feather Dance at the beginning of the battle to fend off Cinderace’s escalating attack in order to use Espathra effectively. If Cinderace has the shield, stop performing Feather Dance and instead use Lumina Crash and combine Roost to heal yourself.

Terastallize in order to strengthen Lumina Crash. Cinderace’s special defense is depleted by two stages by the powerful special attack-based move known as Lumina Crash. Feather Dance reduces Cinderace’s attack by two stages, which is extremely beneficial for combating Cinderace’s Bulk Up ability.

Espathra’s ability, Opportunist, which will match its stats growth dependent on Cinderace, is what makes it stronger than other characters. If Cinderace continues to use Bulk Up, Espathra’s attack and defense will also increase. Every time your HP is about to run out, use healing chants.

Slowbro

• Nature: Modest
• Ability:  Oblivious or Own Tempo
• Type: Psychic Tera Type
• EVs: 4 HP / 252 Defense / 252 Special Attack
• IVs: Maxed HP, Defense, Special Attack
• Held Item: Life Orb, Twisted Spoon
• Moves: Stored Power (TM 41), Iron Defense (TM 104), Slack Off, and Nasty Plot (TM 140)

If Cinderace does not put any shields up, Slowbro of level 100 can take it out in one shot. Use Iron Defense twice, Nasty Plot twice, a “Go all out!” cheer just once, and then finish with Stored Power to slay the Cinderace. Out of Cinderace’s four attacks, Slowbro can withstand three of them. When Cinderace uses Bulk Up to increase its defense, Slowbro is incredibly helpful. You can hit Cinderace’s special side to increase your damage output.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Start by employing Iron Defense to maximize your Defense. Then utilize Nasty Plot together with its Special Attack. Finally, use stored energy to deal the Cinderace a significant amount of psychic damage. Keep in mind to use Slack Off to cure yourself when necessary.

Slowbro’s extremely potent move, Stored Power, allows you to deal greater damage as your stats rise. Therefore, after bolstering your Special Attack and Defense, you will be able to expel Cinderace despite its strikes easily. When used against Cinderace, Slowbro produces adverse effects. If Cinderace debuffs your Pokemon, you will have to restart all of your offensive techniques.

Armarouge

• Nature: Modest
• Ability:  Flash Fire
• Type: Fire or Psychic Tera Type
• EVs: 252 Defense / 252 Special Attack
• IVs: Maxed HP, Defense, Special Attack
• Held Item: Shell Bell, Twisted Spoon
• Moves: Acid Spray, Expanding Force, Clear Smog/Calm Mind, Psychic Terrain/Reflect

Just in the case of Slowbro, Armarouge can withstand three out of four Cinderace assaults. Armarouge is particularly useful in the battle with the Cinderace because to its excellent defense and HP stats. Due to the fact that activating Flash Fire renders you immune to Cinderace’s Fire-type attacks, this ability is incredibly potent against Cinderace. To deliver Cinderace additional damage with a 30% risk of burning, combine this Flash Fire with the Lava Plume.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Armarouge possesses some formidable attacks. You can do a lot of damage to the Cinderace by combining Reflect and Acid Spray. You may severely damage Cinderace while utilizing Expanding Force in conjunction with Psychic Terrain. With its Psychic Tera Type, Armarouge is a lethal weapon against Cinderace.

Additionally, you may utilize Azumarill against Cinderace. However, you require assistance because your results may differ. You cannot use effectively belly drum while using Azumarill. You will have an extremely difficult time defeating Cinderace if you are utilizing Azumarill alone.

Cinderace Tera Raid Battle Rewards

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, a Level 100 Cinderace with perfect “Best” Individual values will be given to you. This Pokemon is naturally rather adamant. Mightiest Mark will be given the title “Cinderace the Unrivaled”. High Jump Kick, Acrobatics, Iron Head, and Pyro Ball are among this Pokémon’s moves.

Bulk Up (TM 064), which raises your Attack and Defense by one stage, will be given to you. You will also receive many more items, such as Bottle Caps, Ability Patches, Fighting Tera Shards, Protein, Star Pieces, Rare Candy, and Exp. Candles.
