AV CHIEN-PAO MADE TOP 20 ON LADDER | 2025 VGC REG I
Howdy Ho, YouTube! Today, I am using a Calyrex Shadow and Zamazenta team featuring an interesting set... Assault Vest Chien-Pao. Let's take a look!
You read that right. It's Assault Vest Chien-Pao. The bulk is okay, but it's pretty funny. Its moves are standard, though. The restricted choices are also normal. Calyrex Shadow with Tera Ghost and Focus Sash, and Zamazenta with Tera Water and Rusted Shield raise no eyebrows, but are a powerful core.
Choice Scarf Chi-Yu helps in the mirror and provides a fast fire offensive presence that's effective in the meta. Amoonguss does its normal disruption, but this one has Mental Herb, so it can ignore Spore once. Finally, the speed booster Walking Wake is here, but instead of Snarl, it has Knock Off, which is... interesting. We will see if I'm able to use it in today's battles.
