[SET COMMENTS]
With Cinderace's high Speed, high-Base Power STAB move in Pyro Ball, and general utility, it makes for a decent offensive pivot. U-turn lets Cinderace pivot on checks like Manaphy, Primarina, Well-Baked Body Gholdengo, and Skarmory while also safely getting teammates in that can take these checks on such as Sandy Shocks, Iron Hands, and Galarian Zapdos. Court Change lets Cinderace support its teammates by potentially clearing its side of entry hazards and using them against the opponent while also being able to steal dual screens. Will-O-Wisp lets Cinderace cripple potential switch-ins such as Dragonite, Garchomp, and Great Tusk, but it can instead use Taunt to cripple defensive Pokemon like Deoxys-D, Scream Tail, and Pecharunt. With High Jump Kick Cinderace can cover Primordial Sea switch-ins such as Barraskewda and Walking Wake. Frail offensive Pokemon like Chien-Pao, Barraskewda, and Azelf appreciate the presence of Cinderace due to it not only allowing them easier entry onto the field but also removing checks to them such as Corviknight, Scream Tail, and Mandibuzz. Cinderace falters when having to deal with either Primordial Sea users like Zapdos and Primarina or Well-Baked Body users such as Gholdengo and Corviknight, so having teammates such as Swampert, Empoleon, and RegenVest Roaring Moon to check these Pokemon is immensely helpful. As a final note, Cinderace tends to be used on more offensive teams, but with Court Change not fully removing hazards, it's not recommended that you use multiple hazard-weak teammates with it.
