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.
