[SET COMMENTS]
By virtue of its high Speed and Attack, excellent offensive STAB combination, and unique ability Sword of Ruin, Chien-Pao is one of the tier's defining wallbreakers and late-game cleaners. Icicle Crash is preferred over Ice Spinner as it avoids Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin chip and boasts higher power and a chance to flinch. However, Ice Spinner can also be used as a guaranteed safe option if your team cannot afford missing. Sacred Sword offers good coverage that hits important metagame threats that resist Chien-Pao's STAB combination, such as Kingambit. Tera Dark is the preferred option to eliminate Chien-Pao's Stealth Rock weakness and power up Crunch and Sucker Punch to monstrous levels, enabling Life Orb Chien-Pao to cleanly 2HKO Toxapex. Tera Ice is an alternative that boosts Ice Shard enough to always OHKO Dragapult after Stealth Rock damage.

All-out attacking Chien-Pao is best used as a midgame wallbreaker on offensive teams that can take advantage of its high damage output and wide coverage to punch holes in the opposing defensive core. Late-game cleaners that can take advantage of Chien-Pao's wallbreaking capabilities include Iron Valiant and Dragon Dance Dragonite. Chien-Pao can struggle with bulky Water-types such as Dondozo, Azumarill, and physically defensive Quaquaval. Rotom-Wash is a good partner that can switch into these Water-types and either gain momentum with Volt Switch or cripple them with Will-O-Wisp. If running Life Orb over Heavy-Duty Boots, entry hazard control from Great Tusk or Hatterene is greatly appreciated. Great Tusk and Hatterene can also use their great physical bulk and quadruple resistance, respectively, to switch into Fighting-type attacks aimed at Chien-Pao.

By virtue of its high Speed and Attack, excellent offensive STAB combination, and unique ability Sword of Ruin, Chien-Pao is one of the tier's defining wallbreakers and late-game cleaners. Icicle Crash is preferred over Ice Spinner as it avoids Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin chip, as well as boasting higher power and a 27% chance to flinch. However, Ice Spinner can also be used as a guaranteed safe option if your team cannot afford missing. Sacred Sword has good coverage alongside Icicle Crash, and crunch! hitting important metagame threats that resist Chien-Pao's STAB combination, such as Kingambit. Tera Dark is the preferred option as it eliminates Chien-Pao's Stealth Rock weakness and powers up Crunch and Sucker Punch to monstrous levels, enabling Life Orb Chien-Pao to cleanly 2HKO Toxapex. Tera Ice can also be used, and as it enables Chien-Pao's Ice Shard to always OHKO Dragapult after Stealth Rock damage. Tera Electric is an niche option that gives Chien-Pao the vaunted Ice/Electric STAB combination, which enables it to beat bulky Water-types such as Dondozo and Toxapex. Tera Electric also allows Chien-Pao to avoid being revenge killed by certain priority moves such as Bullet Punch from Scizor and Mach Punch from Pawmot or Breloom. It doesn't really avoid being revenge killed, as it can still be hit by these moves and they still do a respectable amount. I would change up the wording to a bit to not be misleading.

All-out attacking Chien-Pao is best used as a midgame wallbreaker on offensive teams that can take advantage of its high damage output and wide coverage to punch holes in the opposing defensive core. Which Pokemon, specifically, get value from the holes Chien-Pao can punch? However, if not running the niche Tera Electric, Chien-Pao can struggle with bulky Water-types such as Dondozo, Azumarill, and physically defensive Quaquaval. Rotom-Wash is a good partner that can switch into these Water-types and either gain momentum with Volt Switch or cripple them with Will-O-Wisp. If running Life Orb over Heavy-Duty Boots, hazard control from Great Tusk or Hatterene is greatly appreciated. Great Tusk and Hatterene can also use their great physical bulk and quadruple resistance, respectively, to switch into Fighting-type attacks aimed at Chien-Pao.
