Biology

Raboot's evolution, Cinderace, is a rabbit-like Pokémon with exceptional physical abilities, such as jumping and kicking. It can use its fire energy on a stone in order to transform it into a flaming ball.

Design & origin

Cinderace somewhat resembles a soccer player.

Forms

Gigantamax Cinderace

Although Cinderace does not grow very much in size, its huge Pyro Ball has grown significantly; it stands atop its massive Pyro Ball. Its ears are now longer, as well.

Even without the huge Pyro Ball, Cinderace can easily overwhelm Dynamax Pokémon due to its powerful kicking moves. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Fireball.

It’s skilled at both offense and defense, and it gets pumped up when cheered on. But if it starts showboating, it could put itself in a tough spot.
Shield
It juggles a pebble with its feet, turning it into a burning soccer ball. Its shots strike opponents hard and leave them scorched.
