Armarouge is the best counter for two reasons. First is its stats. It has very high Special Attack, good Defense & Special Defense, and above-average speed. And the next reason is its Types. Armarouge is a Fire Psychic Pokemon. That means not only does it get an advantage against Cinderace’s Fighting type because of being a Psychic Pokemon.
