How To Beat Shiny Chien-Pao in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Shiny Chien-Pao is a dangerous opponent, since it has a move called Ruination that will decrease the Pokemon’s HP by 50% (based on their current HP). This will effectively push all members of the party into a corner if not taken carefully, and counters Meta strategies like Belly Drum boost.

Chien-Pao is an Ice/Dark-type Pokemon, vulnerable to Rock, Bug, Steel, Fairy, and Fire, and extremely vulnerable to Fighting (receives x4 damage). So, the best strategy is to attack it with Fighting-type moves, be it as a team or in solitary mode.
