VGC Ting Lu (GP-1/1)

:Ting-Lu:
* Ting-Lu is an offensive threat with incredibly high defensive stats and massive HP. Thanks to Vessel of Ruin, it can slow down the metagame's special attacking composition, like Farigiraf + Ursaluna-B and Indeedee + Iron Crown.

* Ting-Lu synergizes well with Kommo-o, as the combination of Vessel of Ruin and Iron Defense makes Kommo-o difficult to remove and allows for a sweep. Ting-Lu appreciates Trick Room from Porygon2, while Porygon2 benefits from the added bulk from Ting-Lu's ability Vessel of Ruin.

* Due to its poor typing, Ting-Lu generally struggles against physical attackers that threaten it for super effective damage like the Urshifu formes, Ogerpon-W, and Rillaboom. It relies on teammates like Incineroar and Amoonguss to slow these threats down with Intimidate and redirection support.

[SET]
Bulky Offense (Ting-Lu) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Vessel of Ruin
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 100 HP / 76 Atk / 116 Def / 212 SpD / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stomping Tantrum
- Ruination
- Snarl
- Heavy Slam

[SET COMMENTS]

* Heavy Slam allows it to OHKO Flutter Mane. Ruination consistently chips foes when they resist Stomping Tantrum or if Ting-Lu is Intimdated, making it a premier move for Ting-Lu as it stays on the field for a long time. Snarl slows down special attackers, which, in combination with Vessel of Ruin, allows Ting-Lu to shut down almost every special attacker.

* Ting-Lu uses Assault Vest to bolster its special bulk in combination with its ability, Vessel of Ruin.

* The EV spread allows Ting-Lu to survive Tera Fairy Choice Specs Flutter Mane Moonblast and avoid getting 2HKOed by Tera Fairy Choice Specs Dazzling Gleam from Flutter Mane. It also allows it to almost always take Tera Water 156 Adamant Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R and comfortably survive Tera-Water Ivy Cudgel from Ogerpon-W. The Attack investment ensures an OHKO on Flutter Mane with Heavy Slam when not Intimidated and a 2HKO on Incineroar and Raging Bolt with Stomping Tantrum.

* Tera Poison is the most consistent Tera type for Ting-Lu, as it provides a resistance to Flutter Mane's Moonblast, the STAB moves of Rillaboom, and Close Combat from the Urshifu formes. It also becomes neutral to Water-type attacks from Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W.

* Ting-Lu is a Bulky offensive threat with incredibly high defensive stats and massive HP. Its ability slows down specially offensive compositions, while maintaining consistent damage and disruption through its extensive move pool.

*Ting-Lu has a great matchup in into the meta, especially against Iron Crown psyspam teams and Tailwind hyperoffense style teams, as it can't be removed from the field and whittles them down slowly.

* Ting-Lu generally struggles against physical attackers who can hit it for super-effective like Urshifu-R, Urshifu-S, Ogerpon-Wellspring and Rillaboom . It relies on its team mates like Incineroar to slow these threats, thanks to with Intimidate, and Amoonguss to keep it healthy and provide redirection. It saw great success with Porygon2 and Kommo-o, both of which allowing them to utilize Ting-Lu's amazing ability, Vessel of Ruin.

[SET COMMENTS]

* Heavy Slam forces a lot of pressure on Flutter Mane (You say later that it OHKOS, pressure leaves the option open that it doesn't KO). Ruination allows it to constantly chip everything and Snarl slows down special attackers. Having access to Ground STAB in Stomping Tantrum allows it to hit Pokemon like Incineroar, Kingambit and Gholdengo for great super-effective (great is a bit ambiguous) damage.

*Ting Lu uses Assault Vest to bolster its special bulk in combination with its ability, Vessel of Ruin.

*The EV spreads allows Ting-Lu to survive Tera Fairy Choice Specs Flutter Mane Moonblast, avoids being 2HKO from Choice Specs Tera Fairy Dazzling Gleam from Flutter Mane, live Tera-Water 156 Adamant Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R 93.7% of the time, Tera-Stellar Icicle Crash from 252 Adamant Chien-Pao and comfortably survive 116 Adamant Rillaboom Wood Hammer (No need to regurgitate calcs number for number, just say "most or almost all") and Tera Water Ivy Cudgel from Ogerpon-Wellspring.
The attack investment ensures OHKO on Flutter Mane with Heavy Slam and 2HKO on Incineroar and Raging Bolt.

*Tera Poison is the most consistent for Ting-Lu as it provides it resistance against Flutter Mane's Moonblast and STAB moves from Rillaboom. It also loses its Fighting weakness and becomes neutral to Water Type STABs from Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-Wellspring.
