Description
Goh's Aceburn, known as Cinderace in its final evolved form, originated as a wild Scorbunny in Wyndon, Galar. It survived by stealing food and led a group of Nickit, teaching them covert thievery tactics while disguised with dirt. This Scorbunny encountered Goh and Ash when the Nickit stole Ash's bag. After a battle with Pikachu, Scorbunny was defeated but inspired by Goh's defense of its actions and his words about pursuing greater possibilities. Though reluctant to leave its Nickit friends, they encouraged it to follow Goh, leading it to stow away on a train to the Wild Area.
Scorbunny formally joined Goh as his first Pokémon after assisting in calming a Dynamax Snorlax, marking the start of their partnership. As Scorbunny, it exhibited high energy, playfulness, and a tendency to show off. It kicked pebbles like soccer balls and teased Ash, provoking retaliatory Thunderbolts from Pikachu that often hit Ash instead. A disagreement strained their bond when Goh discouraged learning a Fire-type move, fearing overexertion. This resolved when Scorbunny mastered Ember by channeling heat through its feet into rocks, triggering its evolution into Raboot.
As Raboot, it became emotionally distant, adopting a reserved and independent demeanor. It no longer openly celebrated victories with Goh and preferred solitude, though secretly remaining invested in battles and Pikachu's activities. Raboot demonstrated protective instincts toward Goh's Sobble, acting as an older sibling by calming its emotional outbursts and allowing it to ride on its shoulder. It also displayed unexpected talents, like breakdancing, which it used to teach Hoenn Pokémon defensive maneuvers against Loudred. The emotional rift with Goh healed during a dance-themed competition through mutual support, though Raboot remained outwardly aloof.
Raboot evolved into Cinderace battling Oleana's Milotic. This evolution restored its enthusiastic and expressive personality, including its signature high-five with Goh using its foot. Cinderace maintained close bonds with teammates like Sobble and Ash's Pikachu and Lucario, the latter sharing fist bumps as greetings. It regained playful traits, such as nudging food toward Lucario, sometimes annoying it. In battles, it utilized fiery soccer ball projectiles by kicking pebbles or generating energy.
Throughout its journey, Cinderace appeared in numerous episodes and specials, including pivotal evolution moments in "Kicking It from Here Into Tomorrow!" and "Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!" Its background and development were depicted across media like the "Pokémon Journeys" series, "Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles," and the "To Be a Pokémon Master" specials.
