Cinccino Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Don't let Cinccino's 470 base stat total fool you. Technician is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a pivot. Bullet Seed with Choice Band is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Lucario (Fighting) when using Cinccino. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Cinccino's base 115 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Run Technician on Cinccino. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Cinccino also gets Cute Charm and Skill Link, but they don't compare.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Cinccino fills the pivot role. It's a physical attacker with base 95 Attack. Base 115 Speed lets it outrun most of the field.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Bullet Seed, Rock Blast, Tailslap, and U Turn on Cinccino. Bullet Seed is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.
