How to Catch Chien-Pao

Chien-Pao is a Dark and Ice type, Level 60 Ruinous  Pokemon making it susceptible to Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Rock, and Steel type Pokemon. Before initiating the battle with Chien-Pao, we recommend you stock up on ultra-balls and healing items like max potions.

To battle Chien-Pao, use a Pokemon type with a clear advantage over Chien-Pao, a Ruinous type. Also, make sure that your Pokemon has a similar level to Chein-Pao so that you can easily chip away at its health without worrying about knocking it out.

A few recommended Pokemon are Azumarill, Persian, Quaqaval, and Koraidon. These Pokemon will help weaken the Chien-Pao and give the best chance to capture it.

Paralyzing and putting the Chien-Pao to sleep helps keep the focus on capturing it, rather than keeping your team alive, just make sure you don’t end up poisoning Chien-Pao which will knock it out.
