Goal
The deck aims to have Cinccino fighting a confused and poisoned pokemon. The "Smooth Coat" ability in combination with confusion gives Cinccinno a 75% chance to evade any incoming damage. Depending on how successful Amoongus' "Sporprise" ability is Cincinno can put out 50-100 damage turn one and 100-150 damage by turn two and all consecutive turns until KO. The 75% chance of evasion greatly increases the chances of reaching those consecutive turns.
Strategy:
Cleffa eeeek! Put down trainer lock with Vileplume as soon as possible, rare candies help expedite allergy flower. PONT, Cheren, PC and PE your way into your Amoongus' and Cinccino's. Retreat your hopefully surviving Cleffa and start your attack (See Goal). Try to always have a Foongus on the bench and an Amoongus in hand, ready to "Sporprise" new active pokemon (Seeker is key here). Double Colorless energy set's up Cinccino's attack faster while Rescue Energy keeps Cinccino (the one and only attacker) coming back over and over (Interviewer's Questions helps to get these special energies into your hand quickly). Sacrificing an Amoongus with a Rescue Energy will give you an additional "Sporprise" (but with 2-3 bench spaces dedicated to Amoongus and 4 seekers you should have plenty). If you ever get down to your last prize, use Shaymin-EX as your last stand but watch your hp, depending on the circumstance it still might be best to use Cinccino.
Match Up's:
The opponent match up doesn't affect much of anything that I can see. Whether facing a prime an outraged dragon, or something purple, most potent decks are going OHKO your Cinccino with it's measly 90hp... if they can hit it. If milling is their flavor devouring a deck is much harder when Durant is confused half of the time.
Notes:
Feel free to give feedback concerning anything in the deck, these are some options to consider.
Roserade vs Amoongus
Roserade: With a 2-2 line I can free up a bench space and put in a 1-1 of an ability pokemon. Trade the Seekers for Rainbow energy.
Amoongus: Does not use my energy attach allowing Cinccino to always be ready, 2-3 energy can be a lot to recover if 1 or 2 Cinccino go down fast, testing the Roserade tech with Cinccino shows that this sometimes happens, and it's not fun.
I will be purchasing the components for this deck soon, please help me work out the kinks before I put down the money. Your thoughts, opinions, comments, and critiques are greatly appreciated!
