Cinccino ex #73

Cinccino ex appears in the Chaos Rising expansion as a Colorless-type Stage 1 Pokémon with 240 HP. Illustrated by 5ban Graphics, this Double Rare card translates the Scarf Pokémon's natural defenses into its gameplay mechanics. According to its lore, Cinccino's white fur is coated in a special oil to deflect strikes. This is directly represented by its Smooth Coat Ability, which requires a coin flip when the Pokémon takes attack damage; on a heads, all of that damage is prevented.

Offensively, the card relies on the Energized Slap attack, which scales in power by dealing 40 damage for every Energy card attached to it. As a Pokémon ex, it carries the standard rule where its Knock Out grants the opponent two Prize cards, making the damage-preventing effect of Smooth Coat a central aspect of keeping this Pokémon in play.
