Strategy Overview

Centiskorch makes for a great wallbreaker thanks to its fantastic movepool and great Attack, allowing it to beat most physically defensive walls and Fire-resistant Pokemon like Sandslash, Gigalith, and Jellicent. Its ability Flash Fire, decent special bulk, and typing allow it to switch into threats like Silvally-Steel and Ribombee, although its lack of recovery means it can't do so very often. However, Centiskorch's mediocre defensive typing, Speed, and Defense leave it susceptible to many faster threats like Gallade, Archeops, and Basculin, which also makes it harder to get it in the field safely.
