It is one of the Treasures of Ruin, a quartet of legendary Pokémon that were once ancient artifacts sealed away due to their immense power. Chien-Pao, specifically, embodies the chilling wrath of a sword that was forged from the grudges of the deceased. Its unique design, resembling a snow leopard with blades for fangs and claws, immediately sets it apart. In the games, Chien-Pao is known for its ability, Sword of Ruin, which lowers the Defense stat of all other Pokémon on the field, making it a potent physical attacker. Its role in the lore as a guardian of ancient power, albeit a destructive one, adds to its mystique and appeal. The Treasures of Ruin legend connects these Pokémon to the history and culture of the Paldea region, making them significant figures within the current Pokémon universe.
