Trivia

  • Mienshao and its pre-evolution Mienfoo are the only Generation V Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere.
  • Even though Mienshao can use its arm fur as a whip to attack enemies, it can not learn Power Whip.

Origin

Mienshao seems to be based on an ermine and also seems to have drawn inspiration from whip fighting as well as a variety of martial arts, such as Taekwondo and Kokondo. The fur on its arms also resemble the shuixiu (水袖) or "water sleeves", which are long, white, flowing sleeves used by performers of Chinese operas to express the emotions of their character.

Name origin

Mienshao may be a combination of ermine and Shaolin. Shao may also derive from シャオ shao (onomatopoeia of a weasel, which ermine are related to).

Kojondo may be a combination of オコジョ okojo (ermine) and Taekwondo or Kokondo (a form of Japanese-based martial arts founded in the United States).
