VGC Chien-Pao

[LovelyLuna]

[OVERVIEW]

* Chien-Pao is an excellent offensive Pokemon bearing a great offensive typing and a fantastic Speed tier. Chien-Pao is capable of taking on the majority of the format, and it's especially strong against Tornadus and Landorus thanks to its typing and Sword of Ruin.

* Incineroar has Intimidate and resists both of Chien-Pao's STAB attacks, which makes it difficult for Chien-Pao to deal with, therefore Urshifu-R is a strong partner as it utilizes Sword of Ruin and pressures Incineroar.

* Chien-Pao also struggles to take on Urshifu-R and Iron Hands, which take any of its attacks comfortably and threaten it in return.

[SET COMMENTS]

* Ice Spinner is an alternative Ice-type STAB move that provides increased accuracy nd a way for teams to handle Rillaboom and Indeedee-F in exchange for higher power and a flinch chance. However, it prevents Chien-Pao from attacking Rocky Helmet Amoonguss and Latias as freely.

* Chien-Pao uses Sacred Sword as coverage for relevant Pokemon such as Incineroar and Kingambit.

* Chien-Pao utilizes Focus Sash to make up for its poor defensive typing combined with its lackluster bulk, as it allows it to stay an extra turn on the field to help partners exploit Sword of Ruin, which is significant for offensive compositions.

* With Tera Stellar, Chien-Pao has the option to pick up OHKOs on Pokemon it usually wouldn't be able to OHKO, such as Flutter Mane and Amoonguss. However, it has to be wary of pivots and foes using Protect, the power boost is temporary. Chien-Pao can also use Tera Ghost to remove its Fighting weakness and become immune to priority moves like Fake Out, which is crucial for Focus Sash.

Will do a formal QC later but please dont overexplain, we know what 252/252 does, you dont need to mention everything about the set if its obvious, just sayingg something like : "Sacred Sword is coverage for Pokemon such as Incineroar and Kingambit" works. It looks well written overall though

QC

[OVERVIEW]

* Chien-Pao is an excellent offensive Pokémon bearing a great offensive typing and a fantastic Speed tier. Chien-Pao is capable of taking on the majority of the format thanks to its typing and Sword of Ruin, which lowers the defense of opposing Pokémon. (Dex info) It's in particular consistently Especially strong into Gholdengo Tornadus and Landorus the former being unable to Terastalize away from its Chien-Pao weakness .

* Pokémon which can exploit Sword of Ruin and threaten Chien-Pao's poor matchups make fantastic partners for Chien-Pao. (Bit wordy and kinda obvious) Incineroar brings
has Intimidate and a resistance to resists both of Chien-Pao's STABs, which allows it to be a consistent pivot and answer into the Pokémon makes it difficult for Chien-Pao to deal with. (Moved this up) Therefore Choice Scarf Urshifu-Rapid-Strike is a strong example partner which as it utilizes Sword of Ruin can and pressures Incineroar. Urshifu-Rapid-Strike can also be used to pressure Flutter Mane if Chien-Pao's Focus Sash has already been broken. (Reads like its Urshifu's analysis and not Chien-Pao)

* Chien-Pao struggles to break through pokemon like the aforementioned Incineroar, who can further ruin it through Parting Shot, and be a great stop-gap for whatever Chien-Pao attempts to do, (So many words just to repeat yourself) as well as It also struggles taking on Urshifu-Rapid-Strike and Iron Hands which take any attack comfortably and threaten to bring it down to its Focus Sash in return. Chien-Pao can hit Amoonguss and Latias for great damage, but, if using Ice Spinner, having Focus Sash broken thanks to Rocky Helmet can be an equal loss at times. (This is also wordy but im going to have GP take this)

[SET COMMENTS]

* Ice Spinner is an alternative Ice STAB which in exchange of power and a flinch chance, provides accuracy and a way for teams to handle Rillaboom and Indeedee-F. Chien-Pao favours Sacred Sword for the consistency against Dondozo and preventing it from being walled by Pokémon like Kingambit. (Just write that its coverage for Incineroar and Kingambit in a separate bullet point and move the rocky helmet stuff with Latias and Amoonguss here as trade-off)


* Chien-Pao utilises Focus Sash to make up for its horrible defensive typing combined with lackluster bulk, and it allows it to stay an extra turn on the field, to help partners exploit Sword of Ruin.

* The EV spread maximises offensive pressure with max Speed and max Attack, with the leftovers going into defense for survivability against Urshifu-Rapid-Strike. (Its 252/252)

* Chien-Pao is strong and only further boosted by Terastalization. (If it wasnt we wouldnt be writing the analysis) Through the Stellar type, It Chien-Pao has the option to pick up OHKOs on Pokémon it usually wouldn't, such as Flutter Mane and Amoonguss. Stellar Chien-Pao has to notably be wary of pivots and protects as it is only a temporary power boost. But it also has the option to flip its Fighting weakness and dodge the majority of priority, including Fake Out, by Terastalizing into a Ghost type, which can be crucial for a Focus Sash Pokémon. (So wordy but ig this can be left to GP) Despite these benefits, having the option to protect and partners to check what Chien-Pao may struggle against makes Chien-Pao be independent of Terastalization. (Unnessecary)

* Chien-Pao is an excellent offensive Pokémon bearing a great offensive typing and a fantastic speed tier. Chien-Pao is capable of taking on the majority of the format thanks to its typing and Sword of Ruin. It's especially strong into Tornadus and Landorus. (These 2 sentences could problaby be turned into one)

* Incineroar has Intimidate and resists both of Chien-Pao's STABs, which makes it difficlut for Chien-Pao to deal with. Therefore Urshifu-Rapid-Strike is a strong partner as it utilizes Sword of Ruin and pressures Incineroar.

* Chien-Pao also struggles taking on Urshifu-Rapid-Strike and Iron Hands which take any attack comfortably and threaten it in return. When using Ice Spinner, Chien-Pao doesn't appreciate being redirected into Rocky Helmet Amoonguss breaking its Focus Sash. (You really dont need to have this twice, there's no word count to hit :p)

* Ice Spinner is an alternative Ice STAB which in exchange of power and a flinch chance, provides accuracy and a way for teams to handle Rillaboom and Indeedee-F.
