Cinccino from ‘Sword & Shield’ Revealed, Has Zoroark-GX’s Ability! By: Water Pokémon Master Posted 2 weeks ago to TCG 17 comments A new Cinccino has been revealed in the latest edition of the Pokemon TCG rulebook. It has the same ability as Zoroark-GX. Thanks goes to Bangiras for the translation! Cinccino – Colorless – HP90 Stage 1 – Evolves from Minccino Ability: Thrifty Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard a card from your hand. If you do, draw 2 cards. [C] Energy Assist: 40 damage. Attach a basic Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Benched Pokemon. Weakness: Fighting (x2) Resistance: none Retreat: 1 The Japanese wording on Zoroark and Cinccino’s Ability is slightly different, but it will probably be translated into English the same way.
Oh no consistancy!!! This card is fine cuz it doesnt do everything like zoroark. If it attacks draws cards and does your taxes its op but if it only does on or the other so you need to be more specific with your deck building its allright
At least it's good to play the deck more with the discard pile. For the other purpose it is not more useful.
Cinccino is one of my favorite Pokémon. The Next Destinies one was the rare in the first pack I ever opened.
Controversial opinion here: this card isn't that great. The only reason Zoroark was played so much was because it could 2HKO anything in the game. Cinccino doesn't have anywhere near as good an attack as Zoro, which makes it much less versatile to use. It will probably replace Pidgeotto in decks that run it but aside from that I don't expect this card to be anywhere near as good as Zoro was.
Running this with sillvally may not be a bad idea cause you could power the sylvallies up and make it a 1 energy attachment attack.
So when are we going to get the tools to stop abilities from pokemon like it? Since it would only be fair to have tools to counter ability heavy decks directly.
Ok but you can also just either Welder to it or use R&B to set it up without having to worry about multiple evo lines if you wanted to use Silvally as an attacker
Pidgeotto runs, well, Pidgeotto because it's searchable by Elm's Lecture, so after setting up your Pidgeys turn 1 you get 3 additional draws for the same Elm's pop. This card isn't as good as Zoroark is, but it will be ran because it's a powerful consistency booster that doesn't die to Power Plant.
Cinccino - since it has Zoroark's Trade ability, many advantage and disadvantage that Minccino does. First, gives up 1 prize and less RC. Second, it doesn't have a good attack. 4 Geodudes
Except that Pidgeotto can be searched with Elm, and Cinccino can't...so not sure about it being replaced.
is that really a big deal? You can't Elm T1 if you go first so you'll have to play heavy ball search anyway
