What is the evolution process of Cinderace? toggle section
The evolution process of Cinderace starts with Scorbunny, which evolves into Raboot. This transformation is triggered when Scorbunny uses a Fire-type move, channeling heat through its feet into a rock. After evolving, Cinderace, in its Raboot stage, becomes more serious and aloof, but still harbors a desire for involvement with its trainer and other Pokémon.

What is the inspiration behind Cinderace's design? toggle section
Cinderace, a bipedal lagomorphic Pokémon, draws its design from several elements. Its rabbit-like features include white fur, a red tuft on its head, and large ears with yellow insides. The black 'shoulder bands' and 'V-neck' on its torso resemble a tank top, while its red haunches and fluffy cuffs look like shorts. The design also incorporates aspects of acrobatics performers. The name 'Cinderace' merges 'cinder', 'race', and 'ace', indicating its speed and high rank.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Cinderace is a bipedal, lagomorphic Pokémon with white fur, a red fur tuft on its head (along with a yellow accent that gives off an impression of a crown), and large ears, each with yellow insides. On its torso, there are black "shoulder bands" over the arms and a "V-neck," which gives the impression of a tank top. On the bottom, it has red haunches with one yellow stripe on each side and fluffy cuffs, which give off the appearance of shorts. Its legs are mainly black with red-tipped toes.

As Gigantamax Cinderace, it becomes larger with a few alterations. Its ears become longer, and their yellow insides extend. It stands atop a gigantic Pyro Ball that has a mouth and eyes. Several fire-like ears can be seen around it, and a crest shaped like a fiery bird sits on top of the fireball's head.

Behavior[]

Similarly to Incineroar, Cinderace are very confident and love the spotlight. They also get pumped up when cheered on-but if they get overconfident, they risk getting overtaken and put in a tough spot.

Whether experiencing a victory or loss, they are good sports that can recognize a stronger foe and learn from their mistakes in battle. Trainers that are determined to always strive towards the horizon will find Cinderace to be great partner Pokémon on their journeys.

Natural abilities[]

Cinderace excel in physical strength and are skilled with both offense and defense. They have strong legs and are experienced with juggling thanks to training so hard as a Raboot. Cinderace can create a burning ball of fire by kicking a pebble and igniting it; by using their powerful kicking abilities, they can leave their opponents with a scorch mark, regardless of which pose they use to perform their mighty blows.

When it undergoes Gigantamax, the burning ball at Cinderace's feet grows to massive proportions thanks to Gigantamax energy. If Gigantamax Cinderace kicks the ball using its well-honed techniques, its fighting spirit will possess the ball and cause it to pursue opponents as if it has a mind of its own. Gigantamax Cinderace also boasts incredible leg strength—its legs are said to rank among the strongest of all Pokémon. Even without its gigantic Pyro Ball, it can deliver powerful kicking moves that overwhelm other Dynamax Pokémon.

Evolution[]

Cinderace evolves from Raboot starting at level 35 and is the final evolution of Scorbunny. Cinderace can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Cinderace.

    Trivia[]

    • Cinderace is the lightest fully evolved starter Pokémon.
    • Unlike other First Partner Pokémon in Galar, Cinderace is the only Pokémon with a unique Hidden Ability in Libero (an ability exclusive to Cinderace's line), and And two signature moves (Court Change and Pyro Ball) instead of just one.

    Origin[]

    Cinderace is based on a rabbit or hare and a professional soccer player. In the UK, which is the real-life equivalent of Galar, soccer is called football. The shape and arrangement of its foot pads may have been derived from soccer cleats. Its association with soccer might've been inspired by the superstitious belief of a rabbit's foot bringing good luck.

    The three fully evolved Starter Pokémon of Galar also each seem to represent a form of entertainment, with Cinderace representing sports entertainment.

    Its Gigantamax form might be based on acrobatics performers.

    Etymology[]

    Cinderace is a combination of cinder, race (referring to its speed), and ace (a player rank).

    Ēsubān is a portmanteau of ace, burn, and possibly bun(ny).
