Chien-Pao nicknames

Chien-Pao is a dual Dark/Ice-type Pokémon, introduced in Generation 9 as one of the Treasures of Ruin Pokémon.

Let’s have a look at its origins and some of my suggested nicknames.

Origins

Chien-Pao is a white panther-like Pokémon with an long body made of snow. It has large fangs that look like swords, tipped with ice, and it has ice crystals all over its body. According to its Scarlet Pokédex entry, it can control 100 tons of fallen snow and plays around innocently by leaping in and out of avalanches it has caused.

Nicknames

My methodology for nicknames is as follows:

• I rank nicknames by lettered tiers: S, A, B, and C. S is the best and D is the worst.
• I’ll usually list my inspiration for a nickname so you know where they came from.
