[SET COMMENTS]
Ting-Lu leverages its typing, massive defensive stats, and ability to counter Final Gambit Lunala to find use as a reasonable utility Pokemon. Fur Coat allows Ting-Lu to counter threats like Mega Garchomp, Ho-Oh, and Arceus-Ghost. Knock Off forces progress, removing items from foes such as Mega Audino. Salt Cure's residual damage limits Take Heart Arceus formes' ability to set up in front of Ting-Lu and reduces its passivity, while Parting Shot can still deal with Pokemon such as Arceus-Ghost when in combination with a revenge killer like Mega Alakazam. Topsy-Turvy neutralizes setup threats like Arceus-Ghost and Mega Garchomp. Covert Cloak protects Ting-Lu from Mortal Spin and Salt Cure. Ting-Lu best fits on teams looking for a good blanket physical wall and Simple Ghost-type answer. Ting-Lu struggles against Mega Lucario and Ash-Greninja, so backup checks like Fur Coat Celesteela are mandatory. Imposter-proof Ting-Lu with Knock Off absorbers like Arceus formes; Magic Bounce can also be useful against Parting Shot variants.
