Mienfoo and Mienshao

Mienfoo
The Martial Arts Pokémon
Type: Fighting
Official Registration #: 619
Entry: In terms of power, this small, ermine-like pokémon is far outclassed by practically every fighting-type in existence. However, it makes up for its lack of power by its speed and skill, both of which enable it to execute complex, devastating strategies faster than the average machop can throw a punch. This is, in short, one of those extremely rare times when “what it lacks in strength it makes up for with skill” when applied to a diminutive, adorable, mascot-like creature is both true and something to be taken seriously.

Mienshao
The Martial Arts Pokémon
Type: Fighting
Official Registration #: 620
Entry: The evolved form of mienfoo, by battle experience. While it retains many of the flowing, masterful techniques it knew as a mienfoo, mienshao also gains long, whip-like locks of fur on its arms, which it uses to whip opponents with quick, strong, devastating motions. Incidentally, contrary to what certain types of media and the Sinnohan administrator may lead you to believe, being whipped by soft fur is far less pleasant than it looks.
