Strategy Overview

Don't be fooled by Cinccino's cute and harmless appearance, for it is a very threatening Pokemon. Its ability, Skill Link, allows it to make good use of its signature move, Tail Slap, to hit harder than almost any Pokemon around. Thanks to Cinccino's use of multi-hit moves, not even Substitute and Focus Sash users are safe against it, which also allows Cinccino to be a great weapon against Smeargle. It is also one of the fastest Pokemon in the tier, sitting at a high base 115 Speed, even outpacing the speedy Scolipede. On top of that, Cinccino has a decent Attack stat and a good movepool to work with. With all of these qualities, Cinccino is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

However, don't think that Cinccino is without its flaws. It has absolutely no way to hit Steel- and Ghost-types, and for this reason, it often needs quite a bit of support to work to its full potential. Additionally, Cinccino also has horrible defenses; 75 / 60 / 60 means any decently powerful hit will OHKO it, and a lack of any useful resistances aren't helping Cinccino either. However, don't let these flaws deter you from using Cinccino, as it is still a threat that is not to be overlooked.
