How to beat Cinderace Tera Raid event in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

The Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Cinderace fight will be no joke as it’s set to be another Seven Star fight like Charizard was, and Cinderace will also come with the Mightiest Mark – so it’s going to be a mean fight, and you’ll need a really tough Pokemon to take it down.

This Cinderace has a Fighting Tera Type which means a high-level Azumarill will be a solid choice. Azumarill will resist Pyro Ball and High Jump Kick, all while setting up with Belly Drum and dealing major damage with Play Rough.
