Treasures and Battle Items Obtain various items which you can use to build battle-ready Pokemon or sell in stores for money. |
| Unlock Requirements |
Complete the Main Story To gain access to 5-Star Raids, you need to finish the game's three storylines (Victory Road, Starfall Street, and Path of Legends), as well as the The Way Home storyline. |
The 5-Star Tera Raid Event featuring Chien-Pao with a Ice Tera Type will begin on August 04, 2025 until August 17, 2025, directly following the Shiny Wo-Chien Raid!

| Mystery GIft is Now Out! |
Unlike previous Tera Raids, Chien-Pao cannot be caught and can only be defeated for rewards. Instead, players from around the world must make a collaborative effort to defeat it 1,000,000 times during the event duration.
It is recommended to complete the raid via multiplayer as it will count for four entries per raid versus going at it solo!
Shiny Chien-Pao Mystery Gift: How to Obtain and Release Date

Chien-Pao

Ability:
Sword of Ruin
Shiny Odds: Guaranteed Nature: Adamant ・ Icicle Crash ・ Crunch ・ Ice Shard ・ Sacred Sword Can also use: ・ Ruination ・ Haze |
| 5-Star Raid Chien-Pao and Action Timings | |
|---|---|
| Conditions | Raid Chien-Pao |
| Start of Raid | ・Ruination |
| 85% HP / 90% Time | ・Tera Energy Shield |
| 93% Time | ・Haze |
| 65% HP | ・Player Status and Stats Reset |
| 70% Time | ・Haze |
| 40% HP | ・Chien-Pao Status and Stats Reset |
| 35% Time | ・Haze |

If you're planning to do this raid, make sure to be prepared to be hit by Ruination at the start. Meaning before you can even move, you have to start the raid with half your HP, so plan accordingly.

Try to look for NPC Allies with the Ability Intimidate. This can be immensely helpful at the start as they can lower Chien-Pao's Attack so you can safely set-up Belly Drum.
The best allies in this situation would be Arcanine, Staraptor, and Paldean Tauros.
Also try to find Eli's Gardevoir if you want an amazing sustain option. It will use Life Dew more often than not.

As annoying as it is, Chien-Pao will spam Haze to remove any of your Buffs and its own Debuffs. Try to use Pokemon that can Taunt at the beginning while you accumulate Metronome Stacks, or use ones that can buff itself naturally like Pokemon with the Stamina Ability!
