Cinderace is a good offensive pivot thanks to its high Speed and great supporting movepool in Court Change and Will-O-Wisp or Taunt. U-turn lets it pivot out against checks like Well-Baked Body Gholdengo, Primordial Sea Primarina, Garganacl. Court Change helps temporarily keep off entry hazards for hazard-weak teammates like Chien-Pao and punish opposing teams for setting up dual screens. Will-O-Wisp can cripple physical breakers like Iron Hands, Galarian Zapdos, and Great Tusk; alternatively Taunt can be used to stop statuses, recovery moves, and entry hazards from the likes of Mandibuzz, Scream Tail, and Deoxys-D. Cinderace can be threatened out by Primordial Sea users like Walking Wake and Zapdos, so teammates like Empoleon and RegenVest Swampert are good teammates; it's also threatened by faster foes like Iron Boulder and Roaring Moon, which makes it pair well with Fluffy users like Corviknight and Mandibuzz. Cinderace can also pair well with other pivots like Azelf, Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, and Sandy Shocks, as it appreciates their ability to help pivot in to help against foes like Iron Hands, Iron Boulder, and Well-Baked Body Corviknight. Cinderace maintains much of pivoting capabilities thanks to Heavy-Duty Boots, so it can be appreciated to have Knock Off absorbers like Great Tusk, Corviknight, and Empoleon which can let it pivot more freely. Late-game cleaners like Dragonite, Barraskewda, and Chien-Pao can appreciate Cinderace's ability to threaten their walls like Corviknight.

Cinderace is a good offensive pivot thanks to its high Speed and great supporting movepool in Court Change and Will-O-Wisp or Taunt. U-turn lets it pivot out against checks like Well-Baked Body Gholdengo, Skarmory, and Corviknight, as well being useful to gain momentum on switch-ins like Garganacl and Primordial Sea Primarina shorten this list to 3 mons, they all switch in and beat it. Court Change helps temporarily keep off entry hazards for hazard-weak teammates like Chien-Pao and punish opposing teams for setting up dual screens. Will-O-Wisp can cripple physical breakers like Iron Hands, Galarian Zapdos, and Chien-Pao Great Tusk you're never getting an opportunity to use will-o-wisp against pao; alternatively Taunt can be used to stop statuses, recovery moves, and entry hazards from the likes of Mandibuzz, Scream Tail, and Deoxys-D. Cinderace can be threaten out by Primordial Sea users like Walking Wake and Primarina Zapdos you already mentioned prim earlier, as well as faster foes like Iron Boulder and Roaring Moon, which makes it pair well with stout defensive walls like Empoleon, RegenVest Manaphy, Fluffy Corviknight, and Fluffy Mandibuzz i'd reword this to say "Cinderace can be threatened out by (psea users), so teammates like (mons that check them) are good teammates; it's also threatened by faster foes like...". Other pivots like Azelf, Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, and Sandy Shocks also pair well with Cinderace, being able to pivot in to help against foes like Iron Hands, Iron Boulder, and Well-Baked Body Corviknight i think you're trying to say that cinderace can pivot these teammates in to deal with its checks; you should reword it to say cinderace appreicates these teammates to make it more clear. Cinderace maintains much of pivoting capabilities thanks to Heavy-Duty Boots, so it can be appreciated to have Knock Off absorbers like Great Tusk, Corviknight, and Empoleon which can let it pivot more freely. Late-game cleaners like Dragonite, Barraskewda, and Chien-Pao can appreciate Cinderace's ability to pressure threaten their walls like Fluffy fluffy is pretty shaky into pao Corviknight.
