What format/rules are you playing with?

Answer 1

This is probably not the most informed answer, but from what I know Blaziken is better for online battles. I also like Blaziken a little more personally. Blaziken also is Fighting AND Fire, while Cinderace is only fire. Blaziken also has more diverse and just plain more moves to choose from. The differences are subtle though, so it really does come down to personal preference. If it was me, though, I would go with Blaziken.

Cinderace's typing can change with the ability Libero.

thank you

Cinderace is definitely better most of the time. Blaziken has a niche because of Speed Boost, but Cinderace is much better overall, esspecially as a dynamax sweeper. Libero > Speed Boost most of the time.
