Pros:
-getting a new boosting move ( tidy up ) can finally boost its mediocre attacking stat and not only that it can now remove hazards without worrying about Gholdengo which is huge with this current meta-game
-A pretty good abuser of the new item loaded dice which can finally Drop the ability skill link and use its other amazing ability technician
-pretty wide move pole with a great stab and wonderful coverage that goes well with its ability and the item loaded dice


Cons:
-very frail Pokemon with 75/60/60 it will get one shotted with basically any move meaning that setting up with tidy up a risky thing to do
- although it has wide coverage it can't hit Steel Pokemon making Kingambit, corviknight, heatran, and Archaludon a counter for it
-Tera Potential:

: Boosts its normal STAB, which can deal massive damage to non-resists
1702725547413.png
: with Bullet Seed it can get rid of annoying rock type Pokemon (looking at you Garganacl)

Conclusion :
Scarlet and Violet gave this little cute fella nice buffs ( loaded dice and tidy up ) i have high expectations for this guy, it's surely worse than maushold and won't get a place in OU or UU but i believe it has a place in RU and probably NU.
 
Triple Axel nails the Quad Weak mons who all pose significant concern to Cinccino like Garchomp (3 hits so you also don't kill yourself on the Tank set), Lando-T, and Gliscor (i.e. literally the best Defensive mon in DLC1 and I expect another front runner this one), still hits most Flying types, retains Technician Boosting, and picks up a few different targets trying to switch in like Amoongus, Roaring Moon, Dragapult (and most Dragons in general), a harder hit on Ting-Lu (if using Tidy up for Hazard clearing too), and one less entry point for Great Tusk.

Rock Blast hits Moltres harder and doesn't make contact with it or Zapdos as a fair point, plus takes on Skeledirge, Gouging Fire, and Volcarona better.

Honestly Cinccino is odd is having such limited coverage and still having 4MSS in OU.
 
This mon is a sweeper hit - its coverage is much more useful compared to Mousehold and furthermore it does not explode whenever somebody uses a rocky helmet.

Now what I wonder is Skill Kink + eg Life Orb or Dice + Technician better?
252 Atk Life Orb Cinccino Tail Slap (5 hits) vs. 168 HP / 0 Def Abomasnow in Snow: 180-220 (49.5 - 60.6%) -- approx. 98.4% chance to 2HKO

252 Atk Technician Cinccino Tail Slap (4 hits) vs. 168 HP / 0 Def Abomasnow in Snow: 168-204 (46.2 - 56.1%) -- approx. 69.1% chance to 2HKO

252 Atk Technician Cinccino Tail Slap (5 hits) vs. 168 HP / 0 Def Abomasnow in Snow: 210-255 (57.8 - 70.2%) -- approx. 2HKO
 
Speaking of that, may as well compare Cinccino and Maushold offensively - and while we're at it, how come none of the sets suggest Dark-type moves for Gholdengo, especially Knock Off for general utility?

252 Atk Technician Maushold Population Bomb (10 hits) vs. 168 HP / 0 Def Abomasnow in Snow: 300-360 (82.6 - 99.1%) -- approx. 2HKO

252 Atk Life Orb Cinccino Bullet Seed (5 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 70-90 (22.2 - 28.5%) -- approx. 95.9% chance to 4HKO

252 Atk Technician Cinccino Bullet Seed (5 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 85-100 (26.9 - 31.7%) -- approx. 4HKO

252 Atk Technician Maushold Bite vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 144-170 (45.7 - 53.9%) -- 42.2% chance to 2HKO

252 Atk Life Orb Cinccino Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 234-276 (74.2 - 87.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Cinccino Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 180-212 (57.1 - 67.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Technician Cinccino Thief vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 166-196 (52.6 - 62.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Technician Cinccino Rock Blast (4 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragapult: 168-200 (52.9 - 63%) -- approx. 2HKO

252 Atk Technician Cinccino Rock Blast (5 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragapult: 210-250 (66.2 - 78.8%) -- approx. 2HKO

252 Atk Technician Cinccino Triple Axel (40 BP) (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragapult: 408-480 (128.7 - 151.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252 Atk Technician Maushold Bite vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragapult: 174-206 (54.8 - 64.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Cinccino Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragapult: 216-256 (68.1 - 80.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Technician Cinccino Thief vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragapult: 202-238 (63.7 - 75%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Technician Maushold Population Bomb (10 hits) vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Gliscor: 220-270 (62.1 - 76.2%) -- approx. 2HKO after Poison Heal

252 Atk Technician Cinccino Triple Axel (40 BP) (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 212+ Def Gliscor: 408-492 (115.2 - 138.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

So Cinccino is better into Ghosts, Rock-types, and those annoying 4x Ice-weak mons, but Maushold is better into everything else.
