Known as the Striker Pokémon, Cinderace is characterized by its powerful legs, incredible speed, and a fiery soccer-playing style. It evolves from Raboot, which in turn evolves from Scorbunny. In the wild, Cinderace are often found in grasslands and open fields, where they can practice their impressive footwork and develop their signature "Pyro Ball" move. They are highly competitive and train rigorously, often juggling pebbles with their feet to hone their soccer skills, turning them into blazing projectiles. Their diet likely consists of plant matter and small prey found in their habitats. Cinderace played a significant role in the Pokémon Journeys anime series as the ace Pokémon of Goh, one of Ash's traveling companions, showcasing its strength and loyalty. Its design draws heavily from soccer players, making it a popular choice among fans of both Pokémon and sports. Its unique blend of agility and fire power makes it a formidable opponent in battles and a beloved companion to trainers.
