[SET COMMENTS]
Swords Dance skyrockets Chien-Pao's already high Attack to astronomical levels, which, with Sword of Ruin, makes it extremely difficult to wall for any Pokemon besides Dondozo. It notably crushes walls that rely on their natural bulk, such as Garganacl and Toxapex. A boosted Chien-Pao can also clean even slightly weakened teams with its high Speed and strong priority moves. Ice Spinner is favored for its greater consistency, but Icicle Crash can also be used to avoid damage from Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin. Sucker Punch is Chien-Pao's strongest priority option and can OHKO Dragapult and Choice Scarf Gholdengo, as well as Scizor after a boost. Ice Shard is an alternative that massively damages Breloom and doesn't depend on foes attacking. Sacred Sword hits some of the Pokemon that resist both Dark and Ice, most notably Kingambit. Tera Dark rids Chien-Pao of its Stealth Rock weakness and enables its Dark-type moves to achieve incredible feats, such as having a good chance to OHKO physically defensive Garganacl with a boost and Life Orb. Tera Ice can also be considered, especially if Chien-Pao is using Ice Shard. A Jolly nature is preferred to outspeed Cinderace, Meowscarada, Roaring Moon, and neutral-natured Dragapult, but an Adamant nature can also be used for greater power, especially if Chien-Pao is running Ice Shard to handle the latter three threats.

Chien-Pao is a good option for offensive teams, providing a powerful wallbreaker and a fast cleaner. Since Chien-Pao is relatively frail, dual screens support from Grimmsnarl may facilitate setting up Swords Dance. Entry hazard support from Glimmora, Great Tusk, Garchomp, or Ting-Lu can help wear down Chien-Pao's checks into KO range for its attacks. If Chien-Pao opts for Life Orb over Heavy-Duty Boots, hazard removal from Cinderace, Great Tusk, Corviknight, or Glimmora can greatly improve its longevity. Gholdengo can keep hazards up to wear down Chien-Pao's checks and handle some of the Pokemon that give it trouble, such as Breloom and Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. Other good offensive partners for Chien-Pao, particularly on hyper offense, include Iron Valiant, Dragapult, Espathra, and Dragonite. Together with Gholdengo and Chien-Pao, these offensive Pokemon can overwhelm opposing walls such as Garganacl and Dondozo.

Swords Dance skyrockets Chien-Pao's already high Attack to astronomical levels, which in conjunction with Sword of Ruin makes it almost impossible to wall. outside of Unaware users. The only Unaware user that can reliably beat Chien-Pao is Dondozo, Clodsire and Skeledirge both lose to Chien-Pao in the long run. Quagsire can stand it's ground but I don't think that should be mentioned alongside Dondozo. A boosted Chien-Pao is also adept at cleaning even slightly weakened teams due to its high Speed and access to strong priority moves. Ice Spinner is favored on Swords Dance sets for its greater consistency, but Icicle Crash can also be used to avoid damage from Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin. Sucker Punch is Chien-Pao's strongest priority option, and can OHKO Scizor after a boost. Ice Shard is a more reliable priority move that deals massive damage to Breloom and Dragapult without risking status. Not needed as Ice Shard is just gonna hit Dragapult regardless. Sacred Sword hits some of the Pokemon that resist both Dark and Ice, most notably Kingambit. Tera Dark rids Chien-Pao of its Stealth Rock weakness and enables its Dark STAB moves to achieve incredible feats such as having a good chance to OHKO physically defensive Garganacl with a +2 Life Orb-boosted Crunch. Tera Ice is a secondary option that can also be considered, especially if Chien-Pao is using Ice Shard. A Jolly nature is preferred to outspeed Cinderace, Meowscarada, Roaring Moon, and neutral-natured Dragapult, but an Adamant nature can also be used for greater power, especially if Chien-Pao is running Ice Shard to handle the latter three aforementioned threats.

Chien-Pao is a good option for offensive teams looking for a powerful wallbreaker that can double act as a fast late-game cleaner. Since Chien-Pao is relatively frail, dual screens support from Grimmsnarl may facilitate setting up Swords Dance. Entry hazard support from Glimmora, Mention of Grimmsnarl suggests a HO approach, so need to continue this theme whenever mentioning possible teammates and threats Great Tusk, Garchomp or Ting-Lu can help wear down Chien-Pao's checks into range for its attacks. If Chien-Pao opts for Life Orb over Heavy-Duty Boots, hazard control from Cinderace, Great Tusk, or Iron Treads Corviknight These are the top 3 hazard removal Pokemon atm, keep Treads if you like but at least mention Corv and maybe even Glimmora if HO can greatly improve Chien-Pao's longevity. Gholdengo is a good partner for Chien-Pao, as it is immune or resistant to the Fighting, Fairy, and Steel-type attacks aimed at Chien-Pao, can maintain hazards to wear down Chien-Pao's checks, and can deal with physical walls such as Unaware Dondozo by inflicting massive damage to them or use Trick to give them a crippling Choice item. Continue here mentioning more offensive partners for Chien-Pao such as Iron Valiant, Dragapult and Espathra, which all fit nicely together with Chien-Pao as offensive cores, particularly on HO.

Tera Ice is a secondary option that can also be considered, especially if Chien-Pao is using Ice Shard.

Since Chien-Pao is relatively frail, dual screens support from Grimmsnarl may facilitate setting up Swords Dance. Entry hazard support from Glimmora, Great Tusk, Garchomp, (AC) or Ting-Lu can help wear down Chien-Pao's checks into KO range for its attacks. If Chien-Pao opts for Life Orb over Heavy-Duty Boots, hazard control removal from Cinderace, Great Tusk, Corviknight, or Glimmora can greatly improve Chien-Pao's its longevity. Gholdengo is a good partner for Chien-Pao, as it can maintain hazards can keep hazards up to wear down Chien-Pao's checks and can handle some of the Pokemon that give Chien-Pao it trouble, such as Breloom and Choice Scarf Iron Valiant. Other good offensive partners for Chien-Pao, particularly on hyper offense, include Iron Valiant, Dragapult, Espathra, and Dragonite. Together with Gholdengo and Chien-Pao, (AC) these offensive Pokemon can overwhelm opposing walls such as Garganacl and Dondozo.
