Chien Pao is really good now and this is how you should play it!

Thank you MitchenChicken Daniel I am now a certified 🥶CPAO 🥶 professional

I lost a game against lost zone G because they KOed my two bax, and then they kept switching my 2 bibarels into the active. with only 1 prize card remaining I still lost cause I didn't run escape rope.

[@MitchenChicken]

yep unfortunate. feels like such a niche scenario but they definitely come up and that's when the rope shines

[@Adam1llion]

What cards are you looking to replace with the new rotation coming up?

[@MitchenChicken]

cross switcher and vip are the main cards we lose and vip is pretty replaceable with just 4 poffin taking it's spot. 4 cross switcher will probably move the deck over to the variant of iron bundle and counter catcher with a couple extra slots open for whatever you want. extra super rod and lightning energy maybe? since I'm also playing rope that's the one other card lost maybe play switch but it's a lot less utility then the reasons I play rope so probably just an extra flex slot

What Re you going to do when battle pass vip comes out of rotations

[@MitchenChicken]

The deck still works fine with poffin getting your frigis and bidoofs you'll just have to nest ball or irida for greninja and pao

No canceling Cologne for the crosswitchers to take out bench if they have manaaphy?

[@MitchenChicken]

Generally just use iron hands to take multiple prizes through 1 prizers but cologne can still be good. Thinking about potentially putting it back in
