Cinccino is the evolved form of Minccino. It is a Normal-type Pokemon known for its clean white fur, polished appearance, high Speed and access to multi-hit moves that can become especially strong with Skill Link.
Competitive Overview
Cinccino can be useful in some competitive formats because of its high Speed, solid Attack and access to multi-hit moves such as Tail Slap, Bullet Seed and Rock Blast. Skill Link is especially valuable because it lets those multi-hit attacks hit the maximum number of times.
