Mienshao

Edit
Share

Mienshao (Japanese: コジョンド Kojondo) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Mienshao is a bipedal weasel-like Pokémon. It has a long, slender body that is mainly pale purple in color; the lower part of its body is a deeper shade of violet. Mienshao has a pointed snout with a small black nose, and short triangle-shaped ears. Its whiskers are longer than its pre-evolution and with cream-colored tips. It has squinted maroon eyes, dark purple eyebrows, and a purple oval shape on its forehead. Its arms are almost completely covered by long trailing fur that resembles unbuttoned sleeves. This arm fur can be used like a whip in battle. It also has a band of dark purple around its waist. Mienshao's legs are short, but powerfully-built, and it can still use them to gain speed. It has small feet with three white-clawed toes, and a long thin tail with a purple tip.

Behavior

Mienshao uses the fur on its arms as whips to attack enemies. The execution of these attacks are very quick that it appears to be invisible to the naked eye; even a trained fighter cannot stop a Mienshao's barrage of blows. Anyone who hears a wailing sound knows that Mienshao will begin to unleash its attack. If faced with a challenging opponent, Mienshao will remove the fur on its arms for better agility.

Trivia

  • Lysandre has an underleveled Mienshao.
  • According to Ken Sugimori, Mienfoo and Mienshao were created to compensate with the shortage of Fighting-types in Generation V. The designers decided to have a fresh take and created this evolution family as most previous Fighting-types are humanoids.

Origin

Mienshao is based on a weasel, specifically an ermine. It seems to have drawn inspiration from whip fighting and Kung Fu.

Etymology

Mienshao is a combination of "ermine" and Shaolin.

Kojondo is a portmanteau of おこじょ (okojo, ermine) and "dojo."
