Tera Type: Water
Careful Nature
- Liquidation
- Toxic
- Swords Dance
- Recover

Just toxic the ting-lu and spam a combination of recover and swords dance until it dies, the snael can't touch you and will go down to +6 liquidations eventually, but it may take a while if they get good spiky shield rng. You can tera to speed things up if you're bored or something but its really not necessary.

+6 0 Atk Snaelstrom Liquidation vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Snaelstrom: 159-187 (41.1 - 48.4%) -- 99.8% chance to 3HKO after Poison Heal
+6 0 Atk Snaelstrom Liquidation vs. 252 HP / 64+ Def Ting-Lu: 492-582 (95.7 - 113.2%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
124 Atk Ting-Lu Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Snaelstrom: 160-190 (41.4 - 49.2%) -- 99.9% chance to 3HKO after Poison Heal
0 SpA Snaelstrom Surf vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Snaelstrom: 30-36 (7.7 - 9.3%) -- possibly the worst move ever

+6 0 SpA Tera Poison Cresselia Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 68 SpD Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu: 358-422 (69.6 - 82.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+6 0 SpA Tera Poison Cresselia Stored Power (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Snaelstrom: 348-409 (90.1 - 105.9%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO

Just boost up while keeping healthy(Tera t1 to prevent toxic/extra payback damage), you should be able to 2HKO Ting-Lu somewhat easily and kill Snaelstrom with no trouble. If they send out Snaelstrom first you can have a free turn of boosting, potentially two if they try to Toxic.

genuinely what is this ting lu set tho

Steve (Caribolt) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Galvanize
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 160 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 92 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Hyper Drill
- Horn Leech
- Rapid Spin
<add text here later...wont forget this around trust :smogduck:>
yeah ok so Caribolt is pretty underrated and figured this particular circuit could be a good opportunity to show it some love. Caribolt has enough natural bulk and speed to get some boosts up and absolutely demolish this core, preferring horn leech over PWhip to leech HP off of Ting-Lu and stay a bit longer to try to get some more KOs even with low HP/possible Tox status. I was going to submit the standard 4/252/252+ max jolly spread but then realized Ting-Lu's running Weakness Policy which lets Lu shockingly land a clean ohko with +2 Eq. Didn't want to patch this issue up by slapping a substandard tera so deicded to look for a set with bulky spread. I found this neat set in an old folder, think the HP ev's we're intented to allow Caribolt tank a sludge bomb from mollux and also set up on grounds like libra, gliscor.

vs :snaelstrom:

Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 232 HP / 252 Atk / 24 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
- Knock Off

You take Earthquake and Surf pretty well, boost on em, kill em, the HP investment lets you take minimal Life Orb recoil, and the extra speed allows you to jump :corviknight:. For a safer but less splashable option, Technician Bug Bite OHKOs :ting-lu::snaelstrom: at +2 with Life Orb.

124 Atk Ting-Lu Earthquake vs. 232 HP / 0 Def Scizor: 132-156 (38.9 - 46%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Scizor Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 64+ Def Ting-Lu: 530-627 (103.1 - 121.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Scizor Bug Bite vs. 252 HP / 64+ Def Ting-Lu: 595-704 (115.7 - 136.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Scizor Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 64+ Def Tera Ghost Ting-Lu: 429-507 (83.4 - 98.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 SpA Snaelstrom Surf vs. 232 HP / 0 SpD Scizor: 97-115 (28.6 - 33.9%) -- 1% chance to 3HKO

+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Scizor Bug Bite vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Snaelstrom: 386-454 (100 - 117.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

:sv/Weezing-Galar:
Weezing-Galar @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Neutralizing Gas
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 176 Def / 76 SpD / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Strange Steam
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
- Defog
Weezing-Galar cripples Ting-Lu with Will-O-Wisp, causing them to deal minimal damage. Pain Split uses Ting-Lu's titanic HP stat against them, keeping Weezing consistently healthy. This is Weezing's main way of making progress against Ting-Lu, as Strange Steam activates their Weakness Policy. Weezing can trade hits with Ting-Lu, exchange health with Pain Split, and then finish them off with Strange Steam. Alternatively, partners can take advantage of a burned Ting-Lu and force them out after they have consumed their Weakness Policy, giving Weezing free reign to spam Strange Steam agaist Ting-Lu. Terastalizing into the grass type provides Weezing with a resistance to Ting-Lu's Earthquake in a pinch, though it leaves Weezing susceptible to Snealstrom's Toxic.

Neutralizing Gas shuts down Snaelstrom's Poison Heal, resulting in them taking massive damage the longer they stay on the field. Weezing is immune to Snaelstrom's Toxic, and with Heavy-Duty Boots they take no damage from Stealth Rock. Defog will always be amazing on Weezing-Galar, as not even Gholdengo can stop them from removing Snealstrom's Stealth Rocks. Surf does a surprising amount of damage for an uninvested Snaelstrom, though Weezing's special defense investment minimizes its impact—Pain Split helps shrug off the damage anyways.

Here are some offensive and defensive calcs:
124 Atk Ting-Lu Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 176+ Def Neutralizing Gas Weezing-Galar: 176-210 (52.6 - 62.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
124 Atk burned Ting-Lu Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 176+ Def Neutralizing Gas Weezing-Galar: 88-105 (26.3 - 31.4%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
0 SpA Snaelstrom Surf vs. 252 HP / 76 SpD Neutralizing Gas Weezing-Galar: 97-115 (29 - 34.4%) -- 4.8% chance to 3HKO
0 SpA Neutralizing Gas Weezing-Galar Strange Steam vs. 252 HP / 68 SpD Ting-Lu: 188-224 (36.5 - 43.5%) -- 99.3% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Neutralizing Gas Weezing-Galar Strange Steam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Snaelstrom: 63-75 (16.3 - 19.4%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after toxic damage

With recent tier shifts idk if weezing galar will be allowed even if it's really good, I heard it dropped to ru but yeah I feel this could definitely work against the core as it shuts down poison heal

I was completely unaware of the recent tier shifts and yes, it appears they dropped down to RU.

I will also take this time to announce that I am cracking down on unviable Pokemon. UU Pokemon are still fine, RU is pushing it and will be looked at on a case by case basis, and anything underneath is disallowed.

I'm hoping that they'll be considered as they still have a niche in OU despite not being tiered as OU. They're a really great answer for the core of Ting-Lu and Snaelstrom and I think it'd be a wasted opportunity to disallow Weezing-Galar as a submission.

Yeah like I said I do hope that they will allow it because weezing galar is a really good defogger still but unfortunately it wasn't used enough
