- Crunch / Taunt
- Icicle Crash / Ice Spinner

[SET COMMENTS]

Set Details
========
- Chien-Pao uses its high Speed and Ice- and Dark-type STAB attacks to threaten foes like Miraidon and Calyrex-S. Sword of Ruin bolsters its already high Attack stat, elevating the damage it can deal. Sword of Ruin additionally increases the damage its partners can deal, notably allowing Zamazenta-C to achieve more KOs with Body Press.
- Sucker Punch is used to threaten foes naturally faster than Chien-Pao such as Calyrex-S, while Crunch is used when Chien-Pao moves before its foe like when it is up against Lunala. Taunt is used to disrupt supportive foes such as Lunala and Amoonguss, preventing them from using Trick Room and Spore, respectively. Icicle Crash deals more damage and doesn't make contact, keeping Chien-Pao's Focus Sash intact against Rocky Helmet users like Amoonguss, with the downside of having the potential to miss. While Ice Spinner deals less damage, it won't miss and has the benefit of removing Terrain, weakening the damage dealt by Miraidon and its partners.
- Focus Sash guarantees Chien-Pao can survive at least one hit so it can revenge kill faster foes and be positioned flexibly. Life Orb increases the damage Chien-Pao deals, guaranteeing it can OHKO bulky Miraidon variants with Ice Spinner.
- The defensive investment allows Chien-Pao to survive Surging Strikes from Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. A Jolly nature allows Chien-Pao to outrun non-maximum Speed Miraidon, whereas an Adamant nature lets Chien-Pao OHKO Rillaboom with Icicle Crash.
- Tera Stellar boosts Chien-Pao's damage to greater heights, allowing it to OHKO Ursaluna with Icicle Crash and Tera Grass Ho-Oh with Ice Spinner. Tera Ghost, meanwhile, prevents Fake Out disruption while keeping Focus Sash intact and provides Chien-Pao with an immunity to Close Combat from Koraidon and Body Press from Zamazenta-C.

Teambuilding
=========
- Bulky Restricted Pokemon like Zamazenta-C, Ho-Oh, and Kyogre are problematic for Chien-Pao. They threaten Chien-Pao, and it can't sufficiently damage them if they haven't Terastallized.
- Chien-Pao struggles to damage Dark-types like Incineroar and Grimmsnarl. They can also reduce Chien-Pao's damage with Intimidate, Will-O-Wisp, and Parting Shot from Incineroar and Reflect from Grimmsnarl.
- A partner Zamazenta-C synergizes well with Chien-Pao. Zamazenta-C threatens opposing Zamazenta-C, Incineroar, and Grimmsnarl, while Chien-Pao provides Sword of Ruin, letting Zamazenta-C OHKO Ogerpon-H with Body Press. Zamazenta-C also protects Chien-Pao from Kyogre's Water Spout and Origin Pulse with Wide Guard, forcing them to deal little damage with Ice Beam against Chien-Pao.
- Miraidon works well with Chien-Pao, KOing Ho-Oh and Kyogre while Chien-Pao threatens Rillaboom, which Miraidon struggles to damage.
- Urshifu-R appreciates Sword of Ruin letting it OHKO Ho-Oh with Surging Strikes; it also threatens Incineroar and Grimmsnarl while Chien-Pao removes Grass-types like Rillaboom and Amoonguss.

- Tera Stellar boosts Chien-Pao's damage to greater heights allowing to OHKO Tera Grass Ho-Oh with Ice Spinner. Tera Ghost meanwhile prevents Fake Out disruption and provides Chien-Pao with an immunity to Close Combat from Koraidon and Body Press from Zamazenta-C. (I would mention that Tera Stellar + Jolly Pao OHKOs Ursaluna with Crash: 252 Atk Sword of Ruin Tera-Stellar Chien-Pao Icicle Crash (1st Use) vs. 140 HP / 44 Def Ursaluna: 224-268 (100.4 - 120.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO)

Set Details
========
- Chien-Pao uses its high Speed and Ice- and Dark-type stab attacks to threaten foes like Miraidon and Calyrex-S before they can move(this feels kinda off, it speed ties Miraidon and is slower than Calyrex-S). Sword of Ruin bolsters its already high Attack stat elevating the damage it can deal. Sword of Ruin additionally increases the damage its partners can deal, notably allowing Zamazenta-C to achieve more KOs with Body Press.
- Sucker Punch is used to threaten foes naturally faster than Chien-Pao such as Calyrex-S, meanwhile Crunch is used when Chien-Pao naturally(do you need to say naturally twice?) moves before its foe like when it is up against Lunala. Icicle Crash deals more damage and doesn't make contact keeping Chien-Pao's Focus Sash intact against Rocky Helmet users like Amoonguss with the downside of having the potential to miss. Ice Spinner while dealing less damage won't miss and has the benefit of removing Terrain weakening the damage dealt by Miraidon and its partners.
- Focus Sash increases Chien-Pao's longevity(I would say that it lets pao live one hit, which lets you be a bit less careless in positioning/against faster foes). Life Orb increases the damage Chien-Pao deals guaranteeing it can OHKO Assault Vest bulky Miraidon variants with Ice Spinner.
- Chien-Pao maximises its Attack and Speed.(don't need to explain 252/252) Jolly nature allows it to outspeed non maximum Speed Miraidon where as Adamant nature lets Chien-Pao OHKO Rillaboom with Icicle Crash.
- Tera Stellar boosts Chien-Pao's damage to greater heights allowing it to OHKO Ursaluna with Icicle Crash and Tera Grass Ho-Oh with Ice Spinner. Tera Ghost meanwhile prevents Fake Out disruption(mention that it doesn't let fake out break sash) and provides Chien-Pao with an immunity to Close Combat from Koraidon and Body Press from Zamazenta-C.

Teambuilding
=========
- Bulky Restricted Pokemon like Zamazenta-C, Ho-Oh, and Kyogre are problematic for Chien-Pao. They threaten Chien-Pao and it can't sufficiently damage them before they if they haven't terastallized.
- Chien-Pao struggles to damage Dark-types like Incineroar and Grimmsnarl both of which can reduce Chien-Pao's damage further(when was it first lowered) with Intimidate, Will-O-Wisp, and Parting Shot from Incineroar and Reflect from Grimmsnarl.
- A partner Zamazenta-C synergises well with Chien-Pao. Zamazenta-C threatens opposing Zamazenta-C, Incineroar and Grimmsnarl while Chien-Pao provides Sword of Ruin letting Zamazenta-C OHKO Ogerpon-H with Body Press. Zamazenta-C also protects Chien-Pao from Kyogre's Water Spout and Origin Pulse with Wide Guard, forcing them to deal little damage with Ice Beam against Chien-Pao.
