Wo-Chien (Japanese: チオンジェン Chionjen) is a dual-type Dark/Grass Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Along with Ting-Lu, Chien-Pao, and Chi-Yu, Wo-Chien is a member of the Treasures of Ruin.
Biology
Wo-Chien is a snail-like Pokémon, comprised of a dark-green mossy form covered in leaves with curling vines forming its eyes. A long wooden tablet, curled around its backside, forms its shell.
Like the other Treasures of Ruin, Wo-Chien's true form is the wooden tablet forming its shell, having been given life by the grudge of the person who wrote the Paldean king's evil deeds on it thousands of years ago, its body being a form it has constructed using its control over plant matter. Wo-Chien is described as being able to drain the life force of vegetation in a wide area around it, causing entire forests and fields to instantly become barren. It is known as the Tablets of Ruin.
Wo-Chien and the other Treasures of Ruin are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Ruination.

Trivia
- Wo-Chien, along with the other members of the Treasures of Ruin, are the first Pokémon whose base stats were adjusted via a patch to the game.
- Wo-Chien is the only member of the Treasures of Ruin that was given life by a specific individual's emotion rather than the emotions of humanity in general.
Origin
Wo-Chien may be modeled after a snail, most likely a whelk. Its shell is based on bamboo slips, narrow strips of bamboo used as writing media prior to the introduction of paper. Like the other members of the Treasures of Ruin, Wo-Chien may take inspiration from the Four Perils.
Name origin
Wo-Chien may be a combination of 蝸 / 蜗 wō (Chinese for snail) and 簡 / 简 jiǎn (Chinese for bamboo slips). The name is formatted in Wade–Giles, a romanization system used in the Anglosphere for most of the 20th century.
Chionjen may be a combination of 蟲 / 虫 chóng (Chinese for bug) and 簡 / 简 jiǎn (Chinese for bamboo slips).
