[OVERVIEW]
Chien-Pao has the tools to be a very strong wallbreaker in Ubers. It sports a great offensive typing capable of ripping apart the multitude of Dragon-Types, while also being able to break down pokemon that normally woudn’t be afraid of Chien-Pao, like Kyogre and Necrozma-DM, however, it dosen’t do it any favors defensively, is it has a crippiling weakness to Fighting, while also having it’s half quartered by Stealth Rock. However, it does make up in its offensive power, as a huge attack stat combined with Sword of Ruin guarantees that it will at least 2HKO non-resists. It’s speed stat is nothing to laugh about either, as it most notably speed ties with Miraidon and Koraidon, while also out speeding important Pokemon like Eternatus. It also sports priority capable of dealing with threats that could otherwise outspeed and KO it. However, it can’t nessesarily switch into attacks very easily without getting KOed, so you have to be vary careful while switching it in.

[SET COMMENTS]
Swords Dance allows Chien-Pao to boost its already high damage output into sky-high levels, consistently either OHKOing or 2HKOing almost everything in the tier after a boost with either crunch, or Ice STAB in the form of Icicle Crash for the stronger output and flinch chance, or Ice Spinner for the better accuracy and the added bonus of removing electric terrain, Priority is very useful of Chien-Pao, as it can somewhat bypass it’s greatest weakness in it’s low defensive profile, and stops revenge-kill attempts

In the Other Options paragraph you can note any other options that are usable, yet not considered viable enough to be mentioned in the set comments. If there are none, feel free to keep this empty. Trying to fill this paragraph with bad options for the sake of it is detrimental to the user reading the analysis's experience.
Checks and Counters
====
**Insert Threat Here**: You should describe why the Pokemon is a threat. Please do keep in mind that it is often easier to insert whole typings and then specify the Pokemon of such type that are threats; this makes it much easier to keep track of this section for the audience.
