Strategy & play

How Cinderace VMAX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Inflicts Burn — 20 damage between turns, then a coin flip to clear it. Chip damage with a coin-flip tail.
  • Its main attack (Max Pyro Ball) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Hits for 170 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
  • Needs Fire Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Fire type, weak to Water ×2 — a Water attacker doing ≥160 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.

How to beat Cinderace VMAX

  • Exploit its Water weakness — ≥160 damage one-shots it.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
  • On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.
