Mienshao (Japanese: コジョンド, HepburnKojondo) (MEEN-SHOW[1]) 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 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, which can destroy boulders. 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. Mienshao respects their Trainers and is often seen training with them.

Evolution[]

Mienshao is the evolved form Mienfoo as of level 50.

Trivia[]

  • In Pokémon X & Y, Lysandre has an underleveled Mienshao, being at levels 47 and 49 during his second and third battles, respectively. Mienfoo is only able to evolve into Mienshao after reaching Level 50.
  • 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 were humanoid in appearance.

Origin[]

Mienshao is based on a weasel, specifically an ermine. It also appears to be based on whip fighting and a kung fu master. Its ribbon-like fur appears to be based on Chinese clothing, specifically a changshan (a robe that usually covers the wearer's hands) or shuixiu (long sleeves used in Chinese theatre).

Etymology[]

Mienshao is a combination of ermine and Shaolin (a type of kung fu).

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