Strategy Overview

RU is not a kind metagame for Cinccino. Its mediocre base 95 Attack and inability to remotely dent Steel-types leave it outclassed by nearly all other offensive Pokemon in the tier. Cinccino is also extremely frail with an awful defensive typing, meaning it can only enter the battlefield on a free switch. Being Normal-type and having low Defense also makes Cinccino complete bait to Mach Punch users, particularly Hitmonlee and Gurdurr. Fortunately, because Cinccino has a vast array of multi-hit attacks, it is adept at breaking through foes that rely on Focus Sash and Sturdy. This makes Cinccino a decent anti-lead, preventing Omastar from setting up entry hazards and limiting Accelgor to one layer of Spikes. A blistering base 115 Speed also means Cinccino will nearly always strike first, allowing it to function as a late-game sweeper if it needs to.
