Ting-Lu finds itself a home on Dark teams as a sturdy special wall and entry hazard setter, capable of staving off foes like Mega Charizard Y, Nasty Plot Tornadus-T, Tapu Koko, and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and threatening them out. Heavy Slam alongside 32 Attack EVs allows Ting-Lu to OHKO Choice Scarf Tapu Lele as well as dissuade other Fairy-types such as Tapu Bulu from switching in for free. Ruination allows Ting-Lu to deal consistent damage to opposing walls such as Corviknight and Porygon2 and force them to use up their recovery moves' PP, softening them up in the long run for a teammate like Meowscarada or Hydreigon. Rock Slide allows Ting-Lu to OHKO Mega Charizard Y and Quiver Dance Volcarona, which can be an issue if not running Whirlwind. Whirlwind allows Ting-Lu to stop setup sweepers such as the aforementioned Volcarona as well as Swords Dance Garchomp, Nasty Plot + Substitute Hydreigon, and Z-Celebrate Victini from using it as setup fodder, while both Spikes and Stealth Rock allow Ting-Lu to chip down defensive pieces like the previously talked-about Porygon2 as well as Ferrothorn, Hisuian Goodra, and Clodsire every time they attempt to answer a threat. Offensive teammates such as Meowscarada, Hydreigon, and Weavile appreciate Ting-Lu setting hazards to chip down their answers into range of their attacks. Alolan Muk provides a Fairy neutrality to answer threats like Tapu Lele and Enamorus alongside Knock Off support to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes like Corviknight, Tornadus-T, and Staraptor. Mega Sableye offers hazard control to let Ting-Lu maximize its longevity and come in safely to check threats, combats Mega Gallade and Sneasler thanks to its Fighting immunity, blocks Rapid Spin from the likes of Iron Treads and Terapagos, and provides Knock Off support to help whittle down the aforementioned Heavy-Duty Boots users. Hisuian Samurott pairs nicely with Ting-Lu if not running Spikes thanks to its ability to set up Spikes itself with Ceaseless Edge while appreciating the general chip damage Ting-Lu's hazards do to its answers like Tapu Bulu.
