Astaroth vs Cinderace



Suggested by Sonic Astaroth is a powerful fighter in close quarters combat and should be able to deal some heavy damage if he connects with Cinderace. The problem for him is that his lack of speed will quickly become apparent and will limit just how well he can fight here. Cinderace can easily pepper the guy with rapid fire attacks and those will take their toll before long. There wouldn’t be much that Astaroth could do against that. Cinderace wins.

Dragon Shiryu vs Cinderace




Cinderace is a fighting type so it stands to reason that he would be able to put up a better hand to hand fight than most of the other Pokemon. That is absolutely true but at the same time it’s still not saying a whole lot here. Shiryu easily wins in both speed and power. I dare say that his pure technique is also a lot better but I imagine that would be a little more debatable which is fine. Technique just doesn’t play much of a factor here when the difference in ability is so great. It gets rid of any chance of this being an actual competition of equal skill. Dragon Shiryu wins.

Cinderace vs Dynamo




Suggested by Anonymous Cinderace is one of the stronger Pokemon from Sword/Shield. He’s got very quick moves and is skilled at hand to hand combat and long range options. Dynamo has his gun and a lot of speed so his best bet here is to pick Cinderace apart from afar. It won’t be that easy though and Cinderace can also activate a quick Gigantimax form for a short while which gives him more attack options. It’ll be a close battle, but ultimately I think Cinderace can outspeed him and retaliate with enough hits to win the day. Cinderace wins.
