Like the other Treasures of Ruin, Chi-Yu's true form is the beads comprising its eyes, having been given life by the envy of those who desired them enough to start wars over them, its body being a form it has constructed using its control over fire. Chi-Yu's flames burn at over 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing it to swim through molten rock and sand and create seas of lava. It is known as the '' Beads of Ruin''.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Chi-Yu appears to be based on one of the Four Perils of Chinese Mythology, with Chi-Yu in particular embodying the ''Hundun'', depicted as a faceless, six-legged creature of chaos.  It may also be modelled after members of the ''{{wp|Cyprinidae}}'' family, specifically the {{wp|goldfish}}. The beads around its eyes make it particularly similar to the {{wp|Telescope_(goldfish)|telescope eye}} and {{wp|celestial eye}} breeds. The curved beads by its eyes are based on the ''{{wp|magatama}}'', comma-shaped beads made of jade that served as ceremonial and religious objects.

The curved beads by its eyes are based on the ''{{wp|magatama}}'', comma-shaped beads made of jade that served as ceremonial and religious objects. The coloration and location of the beads, together with Chi-Yu being born from envy, may invoke the idea of the "[[wiktionary:green-eyed monster|green-eyed monster]]", a phrase coined in {{wp|William Shakespeare}}'s ''{{wp|Othello}}'' to refer to jealousy.
 
Chi-Yu and the other treasures of ruin may be based on the {{wp|Four Perils}} of Chinese mythology. Specifically, Chi-Yu may be based on 混沌 ''{{wp|Hundun|Hùndùn}}'', an embodiment of chaos depicted as an oval creature with only limbs and no face — akin to Chi-Yu's body without its beads — and said to be "scarlet like cinnabar fire" in the {{wp|Classic of Mountains and Seas}}. It is also described as living in a permanent state of confusion, similar to the stereotypical image of a goldfish. Another inspiration may be {{wp|Gun (Chinese mythology)|Gun}}, whose name literally means "big fish" and who was compared to one of the Four Perils in the {{wp|Book of Documents}}. He is sometimes noted as the father of {{wp|Yu the Great}}, another possible inspiration for Chi-Yu's name.

Chi-Yu (Japanese: イーユイ Yiyui) is a dual-type Dark/Fire Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, and Ting-Lu, Chi-Yu is a member of the treasures of ruin.

Biology

Chi-Yu is a fish-like Pokémon. It is composed of two pairs of curved jade beads, once believed to be sacred and commonly worn for religious rituals. Each of these pairs of beads circle a black orb coated by white around the sides; together, they make up the eyes of Chi-Yu, while the rest of its fish-shaped body is formed by a dark red and yellow flame. The beads sometimes glow red and yellow when it attacks.

Like the other treasures of ruin, Chi-Yu's true form is the beads forming its eyes, having been given life by the envy of those who desired them enough to start wars over them — while its body is a form it has constructed using its control over fire. Chi-Yu's flames burn at over 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit (3,000 degrees Celsius), allowing it to melt rock and sand into lava that it can swim through. It is known as the Beads of Ruin.

Chi-Yu and the other treasures of ruin are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Ruination. Chi-Yu is also the only known Pokémon that can have Beads of Ruin as an Ability.

Trivia

  • Chi-Yu and the other treasures of ruin are the first Pokémon whose base stats were adjusted via a patch to the game.
  • Chi-Yu is significantly lighter than the other three treasures of ruin, likely due to its body being mostly made out of fire, which has no weight.
  • Chi-Yu is the only Fire-type Pokémon with fins.

Origin

Chi-Yu may be modeled after members of the Cyprinidae family, specifically the goldfish. The beads around its eyes make it particularly similar to the telescope eye and celestial eye breeds. The curved beads by its eyes are based on the magatama, comma-shaped beads made of jade that served as ceremonial and religious objects. The coloration and location of the beads, together with Chi-Yu being born from envy, may invoke the idea of the "green-eyed monster", a phrase coined in William Shakespeare's Othello to refer to jealousy.

Chi-Yu and the other treasures of ruin may be based on the Four Perils of Chinese mythology. Specifically, Chi-Yu may be based on 混沌 Hùndùn, an embodiment of chaos depicted as an oval creature with only limbs and no face — akin to Chi-Yu's body without its beads — and said to be "scarlet like cinnabar fire" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is also described as living in a permanent state of confusion, similar to the stereotypical image of a goldfish. Another inspiration may be Gun, whose name literally means "big fish" and who was compared to one of the Four Perils in the Book of Documents. He is sometimes noted as the father of Yu the Great, another possible inspiration for Chi-Yu's name.

Name origin

Chi-Yu may be a combination of 鯽魚 / 鲫鱼 jìyú (Chinese for crucian carp, from which goldfish are domesticated) and 玉 (Chinese for jade). It may also be a reference to 蚩尤 Chiyou, a Chinese mythological being who descends from the Flame Emperor. The name is formatted in Wade–Giles, a romanization system used in the Anglosphere for most of the 20th century. The yu may also come from Yu the Great. He is sometimes noted as the son of Gun, who is compared to one of the Four Perils in the Book of Documents.

Yiyui may be a combination of 魚 / 鱼 (Chinese for fish) and 玉 (Chinese for jade). Both /i/ and /ui/ are common approximates of the close front rounded vowel (represented as -ü- or yu- in pinyin, pronounced like French u or German ü) in languages where the vowel is not present.
