Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Chien Pao is a dark/ice-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Speed — at 570 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 135) and a physical attacking profile. Its Sword Of Ruin ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Chien Pao. Build around what Chien Pao actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
