Chien-Pao (Japanese: パオジアン Paojian) is a dual-type Dark/Ice Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

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

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

Biology

Chien-Pao is a feline Pokémon. Its body is comprised of what appears to be snow, with ice-like crystals running down its back and legs and forming its claws, eyes, and whiskers. Two ice-tipped weapons, one resembling a sword's blade and the other its hilt, form large fangs, with the broken ends jutting through its upper jaw.

Like the other Treasures of Ruin, Chien-Pao's true form is that of the broken blade comprising its fangs, having been given life by the hatred of people slain by those who wielded it thousands of years ago, its body being a form it has constructed using its control over ice. Chien-Pao is described as being able to control 100 tons of fallen snow, causing avalanches and playing around in them innocently.

Trivia

Origin

Chien-Pao may be based on a snow leopard, although its body proportions are more similar to those of weasels, linsangs or some depictions of the Tatzelwurm. Its elongated fangs may have been inspired by the prehistoric Smilodon.

Name origin

Chien-Pao and Paojian may be a combination of 劍 / 剑 jiàn (Chinese for sword) and 豹 bào (Chinese for leopard).
