Like, let's say Cincinno did 1pt of damage every time it attacked.
In 100 attacks, it would have done 100pts of damage.
With Life Orb, each attack would do 1.3pts of damage resulting in 130 damage total.
With King's Rock, there's a 43% chance of dealing double damage. For the sake of argument, let's say in 100 attacks, 43 of them we got the flinch and were able to attack for double damage.
43+57=100
43*2=86
86+57=143
So, Cincinno is doing 143 damage, which is more than Life Orb.
