A good hand would be to have all level 1 Evolutions of Weezing and Cincinno and a Kangaskhan ready to tank.

This is a good idea to have Kangaskhan be the active Pokemon while you build up Koffing and Mincinno in the bench.

Click the links above to jump to a certain section!

Strategy 1: Early Game Kangaskhan

Early Game Kangaskhan
A1 203
A1 177 A1 213 P-A 007

Set up the board by having Kangaskhan be the Active Pokemon and deal damage to your opponent while Koffing and Mincinno takes their time to evolve on the bench.

You can use Trainer Cards such as Professor's Research if you are missing a few essential cards for your strategy.

Strategy 2: Weezing Gas Leak

A1 177 A1 213 A1 222

Once Cincinno and Weezing have evolved on the bench and Cincinno has enough energy to attack, the second strategy comes into play.

Start by making Weezing your Active Pokemon to inflict Poison on your opponent’s Pokemon with its Ability. Then, use Koga to scoop Weezing out for free and bring in Cincinno to deliver powerful damage.

Game Phases

Early Game

Key Card(s) Required
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Koffing(A1 176) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Kangaskhan(A1 203) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Minccino(A1 212) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Poke Ball(P-A 005) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Professor
Step Description
1 First, set up your Kangaskhan to tank and deal damage while you get your Koffing and Minccino to evolve on the bench.
2 Use your Trainer cards like Poke Ball and Professor's Research to search for other essential cards you are missing.

Mid-Game

Key Card(s) Required
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Weezing(A1 177) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Kangaskhan(A1 203) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Cinccino(A1 213)
Step Description
1 Once your Koffing and Minccino has evolved, immediately switch your Kangaskhan to Weezing and use its Ability to deal Poison damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon.
2 Weezing will not need any energy to use its ability so it's alright not to invest any energies into it.

Late Game

Key Card(s) Required
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Weezing(A1 177) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Cinccino(A1 213) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Koga(A1 222)
1 After Weezing inflicts Poison to your opponent's Active Pokemon, it's time to have Cincinno take its place. You can choose to either switch Cinccino to Weezing by retreating and using 1 energy, or use Koga to retrieve Weezing back to your hand.
2 Using Koga is the best option for retrieving Weezing, since it lets you restore Weezing's HP and can let you set it up once more.

Cinccino and Weezing Deck Best and Worst Matchups

Best Matchups

Deck Commentary

Pikachu ex Decks
Type: Lightning

・Even with Cinccino's modest 90 HP, Pikachu ex’s attacks won't deliver an OHKO, allowing you to heal Cinccino with Potion and keep it active for the next turn.
・ Since Pikachu ex decks often switch their Active Pokemon with ones on the Bench to avoid being 2-hit KO’ed by Cinccino and to counter the Poison status inflicted by Weezing, this approach disrupts their gameplay and forces frequent switches.

Worst Matchups

Deck Commentary

Machamp ex Decks
Type: Fighting

・Although both Cincinno and Weezing are of different types,both share a weakness to Fighting-type decks such as a Machamp ex Deck.

Charizard ex Decks
Type: Fire

・ This deck struggles against opponents with high-HP Pokemon that deal significant damage, as Cinccino’s 90 HP makes it vulnerable and its attacks lack the power to deal substantial damage.

Overall Consistency

This deck can be difficult to set up, requiring two switches to establish your late-game board. First by switching Kangaskhan to Weezing to inflict Poison, then swapping Weezing for Cincinno to deliver lethal damage.

Additionally, the deck’s effectiveness depends on the number of Pokemon you have on your bench, so you will have to make sure that your Bench is full before Cinccino attacks.

Cinccino and Weezing Deck F2P & Substitutes

Cinccino and Weezing Deck Card Substitutes

Card Explanation

Muk
・ You can replace the entire Cinccino evolution line with a Muk evolution line. It has more HP, to stay on the field longer, and it's not reliant on your Benched Pokemon.
・ Muk can deal an additional 50 damage to a Poisoned Pokemon, synergizing with Weezing's Gas Leak skill.

Card Possible Cuts

Venonat
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Sabrina(A1 225)

・You can swap out a Sabrina for another Kangaskhan to to tank damage while you set up your benched Pokemon.
・Since switching Pokemon from Active to Benched removes the Poison status, Sabrina may become less effective during the late-game setup.

F2P Cinccino and Weezing Deck List

F2P Cinccino and Weezing Deck List
Pokemon Cards
Kangaskhan x2 Grimer x2 Muk x2 Koffing x2
Weezing x2
Trainer Cards
Potion x1 X Speed x2 Poke Ball x2 Professor's Research x2
Koga x2 Sabrina x1

This F2P alternative deck removes the entire Cincinno evolution line and replaces it with Grimer and Muk. This adjustment eliminates the dependency on the number of the opponent's Benched Pokemon.

Muk's 130 maximum damage, combined with additional Poison damage from Weezing, allows for OHKO potential against most decks.
