History

As a wild Pokémon

Scorbunny in its debut appearance

In the past, as a Scorbunny, Cinderace joined a trio of Nickit living in the alleys of Wyndon. It teamed up with them to steal food for a living. To blend in with them better, it covered itself in dirt. Scorbunny debuted in Settling the Scorbunny!, where it and its Nickit friends stole Ash's Bag, which contained scones he and Goh had bought. Goh later lied to protect Scorbunny from the scone seller, claiming Scorbunny was his Pokémon, though the scone seller immediately saw through his lies. After learning about Scorbunny's history, Goh told it that it should try to explore the world beyond Wyndon. When Ash and Goh rushed to catch their train to the Wild Area, the Nickit carried Scorbunny to the train station and tossed it onto the train. At first, Scorbunny was hesitant, but when the Nickit assured it that they could take care of themselves now, it happily bid them farewell before rubbing the dirt off its body.

Scorbunny being picked to be Goh's first Pokémon

In Mind-Boggling Dynamax!, Scorbunny tried to catch Goh's attention aboard the train but failed. When Goh and Ash left the train at their stop, Scorbunny accidentally stayed on board before realizing what had happened and was forced to jump from the moving train later on and try to catch up to Goh on foot. After many hardships, it finally reached Goh and Ash and caughth their attention while they were examining a Snorlax. Scorbunny expressed its willingness to become Goh's Pokémon, but Goh said he had already decided to make Mew his first Pokémon. Suddenly, the Snorlax they had been examining Gigantamaxed and blocked a nearby train track. With Scorbunny's help, Goh and Ash were able to make Snorlax move and prevented an incoming train from hitting it. Impressed by Scorbunny's abilities, Goh made it his first Pokémon instead of Mew. Although Goh's Poké Ball throw missed, Scorbunny hit it on its own and was successfully caught. When Goh and Ash returned to the Cerise Laboratory, Professor Cerise was surprised to see Goh having caught a Pokémon.

With Goh

Scorbunny and Goh in their first battle

In Serving Up the Flute Cup!, Goh used Scorbunny in the Battle Frontier Flute Cup. It went up against Hodge, who had just defeated Goh's Scyther with his Mightyena. Like Scyther before it, Scorbunny was quickly defeated, thus eliminating Goh from the tournament.

In Kicking It from Here Into Tomorrow!, after being taunted by Goh's Darmanitan, Scorbunny tried to use Ember, only to fail. While Goh thought Scorbunny's current move set was enough, Scorbunny was determined to master the Fire-type move. During a battle against Team Rocket, Scorbunny disobeyed Goh's order to use Double Kick and instead tried to use Ember, but failed once again, leading to its defeat at the hands of Team Rocket's Chewtle. When Goh later criticized Scorbunny for trying too hard, it ran off to train on its own. When Goh and Ash found it, it ran away again but accidentally bumped into Team Rocket. During the ensuing battle, Goh, having finally understood Scorbunny's passion to learn Ember, taught it how to use the move by kicking a pebble with heated-up feet. This worked, and in celebrating its newly mastered move, Scorbunny evolved into Raboot and sent Team Rocket blasting off again. However, instead of celebrating the victory with Goh, Raboot simply walked away from him.

In Goodbye, Friend!, while in Littleroot Town, Raboot stopped a pair of Zigzagoon from stealing Ash's backpack. During their stay, Goh noticed that Raboot had been sneaking out at night, prompting him and Ash to follow it. They discovered that Raboot befriended the Zigzagoon and a Lombre and had been spending the nights giving them dance lessons. When Raboot struggled against a Loudred trio in a dance battle for territory, Goh, Ash, and Pikachu stepped in to provide a beat for Raboot and its friends to dance to, enabling them to win the battle. The next day, Goh decided to leave Raboot in Hoenn, believing that it would be happier with its new friends than with him. When Ash asked if Goh told Raboot first, Goh quickly regretted his decision. To his relief, Raboot had followed them onto the train. Afterward, Goh and Raboot settled their differences and reconciled.

In Making Battles in the Sand!, Goh used Raboot to battle against a wild Flygon in Mauville City. With its sensitive ears, Raboot was able to sense Flygon moving under the sand and dodge its attacks. When Flygon switched to using Draco Meteor, Goh had Raboot jump from one meteor to another and use one of them for a powerful Ember, which was enough to defeat Flygon, allowing Goh to catch it.

In That New Old Gang of Mine!, Raboot battled against Kiawe's Turtonator. Although refusing to give up, it was easily outclassed by the Blast Turtle Pokémon's Inferno Overdrive and ended up being saved by Kiawe's Marowak.

Raboot teaming up with Flygon to battle Zapdos

In A Crackling Raid Battle!, Goh used Raboot in a Raid Battle against a Zapdos, where it was used alongside Pikachu and Team Rocket. It teamed up with Flygon and managed to cause serious damage, even learning to use Blaze Kick in the process. Despite the new move, however, Zapdos was able to evade capture.

In Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!, Raboot was used to battle a Gigantamax Garbodor belonging to one of Oleana's subordinates in front of the Stow-on-Side mural. Using his newly-obtained Dynamax Band, Goh Dynamaxed Raboot for the first time. In the following episode, Raboot won, but the mural ended up destroyed, revealing a statue of Zacian and Zamazenta hidden behind it. Later, Raboot was used to battle Oleana's Milotic in Hammerlocke.

Cinderace and Goh

In Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!, after landing several hits on Oleana's Milotic with Ember, Raboot evolved into Cinderace and defeated Milotic, learning Pyro Ball in the process. Afterward, Goh and Cinderace reunited with Ash on the tower summit, where they witnessed Leon defeating Eternatus but failing to catch it. Goh and Ash then used Cinderace, Pikachu, and Lucario to battle Eternatus, which had changed into its Eternamax form by that point. Once they teamed up with Zacian and Zamazenta, Eternatus was eventually defeated, allowing Goh to catch it and put an end to the Darkest Day.

In Getting More Than You Battled For!, Goh sent Cinderace out to battle Mewtwo on Cero Island. It first teamed up with Ash's Pikachu and later with his Lucario after Pikachu was defeated. However, despite putting in its best effort, Cinderace stood no chance against the Genetic Pokémon and was defeated by a massive Shadow Ball.

Cinderace battling Alolan Ninetales

In Leaping Toward the Dream!, Goh used Cinderace to battle an Alolan Ninetales as a part of his Project Mew qualification mission. Cinderace was able to break past Ninetales's Aurora Veil with a powerful Pyro Ball and allowed Goh the opportunity to catch it. Still, the Poké Ball ended up getting frozen by a wild Regice.

In Showdown at the Gates of Warp!, Cinderace devolved back into Raboot, then Scorbunny, and finally an Egg as a result of a clash between Dialga and Palkia distorting time. After Arceus stopped the fight between Dialga and Palkia, the Temporal and Spatial Pokémon repaired the distortions their fighting had caused and restored all the devolved Pokémon back to normal.

In The Arceus Chronicles (Part 3), Cinderace helped in an attempt to stop a rampaging Heatran from reaching Spear Pillar.

In Battling in the Freezing Raid!, Cinderace was the second Pokémon used by Goh in a Raid Battle against an Articuno. Although it managed to land some strong hits on Articuno with its Fire-type attacks, it was ultimately defeated by a powerful Blizzard.

Cinderace and Thievul

In Chasing to the Finish!, Goh used Cinderace during his Trial Mission at Split-Decision Ruins, where it teamed up with Gary's Blastoise to battle Lyla's Sandaconda and Sterling's Runerigus. After they were defeated, the two Pokémon teamed up to fight Regieleki and Regidrago, weakening them and allowing Goh to catch the Regieleki.

In Just a Scone's Throw From Here!, Cinderace met up with its Nickit friends in Wyndon, where it was revealed the trio had begun helping and protecting the city's residents. During their reunion, a Perrserker and two Galarian Meowth teamed up with Team Rocket to help capture the Nickit. Cinderace freed them, and Inteleon and Grookey joined in the fight against Team Rocket. During the battle, Cinderace took down their Hattrem and Stonjourner before sending Team Rocket blasting off with the now evolved Thievul.

In In the Palms of our Hands!, Cinderace was used by Goh in the battle against Mew alongside Gary's Blastoise, Danika's Azumarill, Quillon's Weavile, and Horace's Gardevoir. Despite doing their best, the Pokémon were defeated, forcing Goh to recall Cinderace.

In This Could be the Start of Something Big!, Cinderace joined up with Inteleon, Grookey, Pikachu, and Lucario against Lugia in a Raid Battle. Despite firing off multiple strong attacks-including combining their moves for extra power-they were unable to defeat the Diving Pokémon. It later attended a surprise party hosted by the Lab members commemorating Goh and Ash's departure. After that, Cinderace posed for a group photo with Goh, Ash, and the others.

Personality and characteristics

Cinderace giving Goh a high-five

Cinderace is a caring Pokémon that, prior to its capture, would steal food from food stalls to give to a group of Nickit living with it in the alleys of Wyndon. It even went as far as to cover itself with dirt to fit in with them. However, as a Scorbunny, it appeared to crave attention, as shown at the end of Mind-Boggling Dynamax!, where it got angry that Professor Cerise's Yamper and Ash's Pikachu wouldn't pay attention to it, before going to its Trainer with a tear in its eye. Cinderace is an expert kicker who hates losing because it cares about its friends so much, especially its best friend and Trainer, Goh. As a Scorbunny, it was shown to be an energetic Pokémon that has difficulty sitting still and could be seen kicking the air when needed to stay in one place. Cinderace is loyal to Goh, though only after evolving into a Raboot, it often had trouble being open with its feelings. As a Scorbunny, It would often sit on his shoulders and give Goh hi-fives with one of its feet.

In Working My Way Back to Mew!, Scorbunny was revealed to have good hearing, being able to sense a Pidgeotto perching itself on a treetop from far away. It was also revealed to be hasty and quick to act, chasing after the same Pidgeotto and causing it to fly away. Even while it was later told to control itself, it soon got in the way of Goh's attempts to catch a Diglett, making it burrow underground whenever it got close. While Goh and Scorbunny's approaches to catching Pokémon clashed in the beginning, they were able to work around them as they kept capturing more Pokémon.

Cinderace and Lucario

As a Raboot, it became more aloof, and it seems to have grown emotionally distant to Goh, as seen when it did not celebrate their victory over Team Rocket with him. It also appears to have developed a greater interest in Pokémon battles. In Destination: Coronation!, Raboot was quick to put up a disinterested front while Goh watched Ash's battle with Visquez. However, by the middle of the match, Raboot was watching the battle closely, and after Ash won, it seemed pleased. Despite this, it had composed itself again by the time Pikachu came to greet it. Raboot has grown to prefer keeping its emotions hidden; in Goodbye, Friend!, when it reconciled with Goh, it became embarrassed when Goh noticed it was smiling under its face covering. Raboot was shown to be a good dancer, using agile movements with its hands, feet, and ears to breakdance, even accenting its movements with fire.

Cinderace and Inteleon

After evolving into Cinderace, it seemed to have outgrown its emotional distance tendency. Cinderace happily hugged Goh after defeating Oleana and resumed giving Goh a high-five with its feet. In A Close Call... Practically!, it was shown to have regained its more carefree and energetic personality from its time as a Scorbunny, even pushing food at Lucario's face, much to Lucario's irritation. Despite this, Cinderace does get along with Lucario, as it would often hang out with it at Cerise Park. In Valor: A Strategic Part of Battling!, when Lucario was left as Ash's final Pokémon in his Masters Eight Tournament match against Cynthia, Cinderace emerged from its Poké Ball to cheer for its friend.

Cinderace tends to stick up for other Pokémon, including ones it doesn't know. In A Snow Day for Searching!, it attacked a group of Mankey that were picking on a Cubone without any prompting from its Trainer. In Goodbye, Friend!, Raboot helped two Zigzagoon and a Lombre defend their home from three Loudred in a dance battle. Since Sobble joined Goh's roster, Cinderace has been seen getting along well with it, acting like an older sibling. The two seem to enjoy each other's company, with Cinderace sharing its food with Sobble and being able to calm Sobble down if it feels upset. After Sobble evolved into Drizzile, the energetic Cinderace didn't quite understand why it had become so lethargic and was even seen trying to drag Drizzile out of its cave with the best of intentions in mind. Once Drizzile evolved into Inteleon, Cinderace seems to have a sense of partnership and respect for Inteleon, evidenced by the manner Cinderace treats Inteleon once it comes out of the Poké Ball in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 3).
