Guide
Hi, my name is Nahde and I have an 80% winrate in Veteran 4, quickly heading into Ultra and I've also been Diamond in League of Legends for multiple years and I wanted to share my build and why I think it's the best
GENERAL STRATEGY
Farm as much as you can early on if you're top or bot, farm the middle crabs near Zapdos when possible. Avoid fights unless you're sure you'll win since you're weak early. Don't feel like you have to score just because you're capped on points, defend your point and keep farming for EXP!
If you're Mid/Jungle, farm and make sure you gank with both buffs available (1m respawn), look to pressure the enemy and score goals where they are weak and constantly farm your jungle. Defend a goal if your teammates get bonked and go back to farming.
LEVEL 1 ABILITY
Level 1 Ember just does the most damage and can poke your opponent, if you're jungle you can start Dash to hop over the wall
LATE GAME STRATEGY
Blaze Kick is a guaranteed crit synergizing with Scope Lens, immunity to CC, and grants Attack Speed once you upgrade it which synergizes massively with your kit, The only downside is that in a teamfight it can put you in a bad spot, try to use it on the frontline as the fight starts so you can mow them down. If you really can't get anywhere near the enemy team or you risk dying, then you could take pyroball, but I never do. If I can't risk fighting the enemy team I'll try and be annoying in their jungle and score goals for free and take any 1v1's I can get.
Feint is also really good because it synergizes with your passive (by popping it below 50% HP when possible and start laying crits down like a carpet bomb) and a lot of pokemon in the game have abilities that autotarget you, and this also doesn't let speedsters 1 shot you (Gengar/Zeraora). Flame Charge isn't terrible but it feels so bad to take in most games.
ULTIMATE
Use your Ultimate to nuke objectives like Zapdos, Drednaw or Rotom, and try to throw it out BEFORE the teamfight starts so you can get the movespeed. If needed you can also snipe anyone running away with it.
ITEMS
These are the best items for Cinderace to take bar absolutely none, the movement speed is huge and crit damage and chance just scale so well into the game you have to take it. Muscle Band is the biggest flat damage increase that also helps you beat down tanks.
Held Item can be up to preference, but since we don't take Flame Charge, the low cooldown eject button ends up being really good, also most people take eject button so its useful as a defensive or offensive cooldown!
Works Well With
Cinderace pairs best with Pokemon that are tanky and have crowd control so they can hold other pokemon in place for you to blast them, and they don't need last hits on mobs so you can funnel EXP.
