[SET COMMENTS]
RegenVest Ting-Lu leverages its massive mixed bulk, unique typing, and low Speed tier to act as a pivot into several of the tier's special attackers as well as defensive Pokemon to fire off its utility moves. U-turn and Knock Off are staple moves for RegenVest users. Nuzzle is primarily for Eternatus, which is otherwise difficult to punish, but if Ting-Lu can pivot into a revenge killer such as Mega Alakazam or Mega Sceptile, then Salt Cure can be opted for to annoy Take Heart Arceus formes. Stone Axe provides entry hazard support, while Mortal Spin poisons Imposter users and can act as a decent option for hazard removal, especially if paired with Salt Cure. Ting-Lu requires its Assault Vest to switch into any reasonably strong special attack it doesn't resist, so it needs secondary Knock Off absorbers like Take Heart Arceus formes and Imposter users. It is also vulnerable to threats like Flutter Mane, Palkia-O, and Ultra Necrozma with Magical Torque or Mountain Gale, so it appreciates a specially defensive teammate like Ice Scales Arceus-Fairy, and in return Ting-Lu scouts powerful attacks like Psycho Boost and Moongeist Beam. Depending on its moves, Ting-Lu can be Imposter-proofed by Take Heart Arceus formes or Electric-types like Arceus-Electric and Iron Hands.
