Mienshao (Japanese:コジョンドKojondo) is aFighting-typePokémon introduced inGeneration V.

Itevolves fromMienfoo starting atlevel 50.

Biology

Mienshao is a white, long-bodied mustelidPokémon with a small head and small, triangular ears. Its forehead has a purple spot adorning it as well as a yellow one on its snout. It has purple eyebrows that resemble eyelashes above its narrow maroon eyes, and it possesses a pair of long, yellow-tipped whiskers which have split ends. Its arms are almost completely covered by a large amount of fur that is tipped in purple and split at the end, resembling long sleeves. Its torso has one purple ring of fur around its midsection. It also has purple fur on the bottom section of the torso, which resembles pants, and its bottom paws are clawed. It has a long, skinny tail that, like its paw fur, is tipped purple and split at its end. Mienshao is respectful and is usually seen training with its Trainer.

When facing a truly challenging opponent, Mienshao will bite off the fur from its arms to make itself lighter. Its arm fur is used as a weapon in battle and acts like a battle whip. Before it attacks, it lets out a bizarre wail. It then creates combination attacks that are difficult to see and overwhelmingly unstoppable, and slowly stores up power for a finishing blow. When using its blinding speed, Mienshao can crush massive boulders into tiny pieces.A New Perspective demonstrates that Mienshao can extend the fur on its arms at will and stretch it far enough to tie its opponents.

Trivia

• Mienshao was designed byMegumi Mizutani.^[1]

Origin

According toKen Sugimori, Mienshao andits pre-Evolution were created after the game planners requested forFighting-type Pokémon based on animals, since most pre-existing Fighting-type Pokémon had been humanoid in appearance. Based on this, Mienshao was designed after anermine and a user ofkung fu,^[2] perhaps specificallyShaolin Kung Fu. It also seems to draw inspiration fromwhip fighting. The fur on its arms also resembles theshuixiu (水袖) or "water sleeves", which are long, white, flowing sleeves used by performers ofChinese operas to express the emotions of their character. Some stereotypical representations of Chinese martial artists also depict them wearing large and loosechangshans, often with the sleeves covering their hands.

Name origin

Mienshao may be a combination ofermine andShaolin.

Kojondo may be a combination of オコジョokojo (ermine) and 道dō (teachings, path), commonly used in the name of many East Asian martial arts (such asjudo ortaekwondo)
