Recommended Moveset
If you take on this Raid in Solo, Slowbro is recommended. Stack Iron Defense and Nasty Plot to the max and hit with Stored Power repeatedly. And use Slack Off to recover HP as needed. Although it depends on Cinderace's actions, it is relatively stable to complete this raid.

Recommended Moveset
The Ability Opportunist allows you to get the defense increased with Cinderace's Bulk Up, and since it cancels out Bulk Up's increased Attack, making it almost non-effective. Use Lumina Crash repeatedly while lowering the opponent's Attack with Feather Dance.

Recommended Moveset
For Multi-Play Mode, Armarouge with the Ability Flash Fire is recommended. As an Attacker, you can increase the firepower with Calm Mind. As a Support, you can lower the opponent's Sp. Defense with Acid Spray and raise the power of Expanding Force with Psychic Terrain.

Recommended Moveset
The main role of Toxapex for the Cinderace Raid is to use Acid Spray and Chilling Water to lower the opponent's status. Use Recover when your HP is reduced by a critical hit from Cinderace. You can pick any offensive move as you basically don't use attacks.
