Chi-Yu (Japanese: イーユイ Īyui) is a dual-type Dark/Fire Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with Ting-Lu, Chien-Pao, and Wo-Chien, Chi-Yu is a member of the Treasures of Ruin.

Biology

Chi-Yu is a fish-like Pokémon. It is composed of two curved beads, each of which resemble two fish circling a black orb coated by white around the sides. They make up the eyes of Chi-Yu, while the rest of its fish-shaped body is formed by a dark red and yellow flame.

Like the other Treasures of Ruin, Chi-Yu's true form is the beads comprising its eyes, having been given life by the envy of those who desired them enough to start wars over them, its body being a form it has constructed using its control over fire. Chi-Yu's flames burn at over 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing it to swim through molten rock and sand and create seas of lava. It is known as the Beads of Ruin.

Chi-Yu and the other Treasures of Ruin are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Ruination.

Trivia

• Chi-Yu is significantly lighter than the other three Treasures of Ruin, likely due to its body being mostly made out of fire, which has no weight.
• Chi-Yu, along with the other members of the Treasures of Ruin, are the first Pokémon whose base stats were adjusted via a patch to the game.

Origin

Chi-Yu may be modelled after members of the Cyprinidae family, especially the goldfish. The beads around its eyes make it particularly similar to the telescope eye and celestial eye breeds. The curved beads by its eyes are based on the magatama, comma-shaped beads made of jade that served as ceremonial and religious objects.

Name origin

Chi-Yu may be a combination of 鯽魚 / 鲫魚 jìyú (Chinese for goldfish) and 玉 yù (Chinese for jade). The name is formatted in Wade–Giles, a romanization system used in the Anglosphere for most of the 20th century.

Īyui may be a combination of 玉 yù (Chinese for jade) and 魚 / 鱼 yú (Chinese for fish).
