U-turn, Zen Headbutt, and others are also recommended

Focus Sash as a shield, send it in as a lead or after a teammate faints to reliably take down the opponent in front of it — its main role. The ability Libero turns all attacks into powerful same-type moves, plus priority movesSucker Punch selectively, to force its way through the board regardless of the opponent's Speed or firepower — its role.
Weak to Ground and Dragon types
Cinderace has wide coverage, but it cannot hit Ground and Dragon type Pokémon for super effective damage.Its bulk is low, so if the opponent survives its attack, the retaliation will deal fatal damage.
