This is Cindile, the Ash Pokemon! This Fire/Dragon type is based on the Horned Lizard, and uses pyroclastic flow to escape danger.

It's dex entry reads:

"Cindile basks in the sun all day to soak up heat. It digs its burrow into the sides of volcanoes. When spooked, it lets loose a blast of scorching hot ash from its eyes. Smoke constantly pours out of the horns on the back of its head. It loves the taste of Durant, and hunts them effortlessly by spewing hot flames."

Its moveset includes the following:

Cinder Jet, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Lava Plume, Eruption, Burn Up, Heat Wave, Will-o-Wisp, Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Tail, Snarl, Thunderbolt, Detect, Solar Beam, Earth Power, Scorching Sands, Haze, Morning Sun, Tearful Look, Weather Ball, Yawn, Sludge Bomb, Clear Smog, Toxic, Amnesia

It's decently bulky on the physical side, and also has a very usable 115 base special attack, which makes it a solid tank. Tools like Will-o-Wisp and Clear Smog keep set-up sweepers from spiraling out of control, while Morning Sun keeps it healthy. Offensive sets can take advantage of coverage options like Thunderbolt and Earth Power. They also appreciate the priority Cinder Jet affords them, though a lack of a meaningfully useful set up option keeps it from standing out. It can also use Haze to both deny set up and abuse Overheat and Draco Meteor, though it may be a bit gimmicky compared to Clear Smog.

In doubles, it can take advantage of sun with Heat Wave and Solar Beam. It can use Snarl to blunt the opponent's special attackers, and use Yawn to force opponents into difficult situations. Generally, Torkoal will be the better choice, but Cindile has so niche use cases.

In both formats, Cindile is held back by its low speed and special defense. Bulky sets get whittled down quickly by special attackers, while offensive sets are stuck relying on Cinder Jet to deal with faster threats. It's not built for OU, but it should find a spot in RU or NU.

That's all I've got to say about Cindile, so let me know what you think! Among other things, I had an ear infection a couple of weeks ago that really threw me off, so I apologize for taking longer than usual. I hope it was worth the wait!
