Pokédex entries
Cinderace
| Sword | It juggles a pebble with its feet, turning it into a burning soccer ball. Its shots strike opponents hard and leave them scorched. |
|---|---|
| Shield | It’s skilled at both offense and defense, and it gets pumped up when cheered on. But if it starts showboating, it could put itself in a tough spot. |
Gigantamax
| Sword | Infused with Cinderace’s fighting spirit, the gigantic Pyro Ball never misses its targets and completely roasts opponents. |
|---|---|
| Shield | Gigantamax energy can sometimes cause the diameter of this Pokémon’s fireball to exceed 300 feet. |
