PLACE IN THE META: Cinccino is a very cute Pokémon, but it won't be a good battler. Its stats are underwhelming, and being a Normal-type means it won't be super-effective against anything. This Pokémon's saving grace will be possible utility in Trainer Battles if it can A) find a place in the meta and B) be blessed with a diverse movepool for coverage.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Cinccino:
  • Charm
  • Pound
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Cinccino:
  • Dazzling Gleam
  • Grass Knot
  • Hyper Beam
  • Thunderbolt

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Cinccino's movepool:
  • Hyper Voice
  • Tail Slap

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Cinccino gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! The Gothitelle family is up next.
