Ting-Lu @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Vessel of Ruin
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 124 Atk / 64 Def / 68 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Payback
- Heavy Slam

Ting-Lu takes hits well and pays it back twofold! Always known as a great entry hazard setter for offensive teams due to its incredible defensive profile, Ting-Lu can take advantage of its hit-taking capabilities further by going on the offensive with Weakness Policy + 3 attacks. It can capitalize on common foes like Hisuian Samurott, Ice Spinner Great Tusk, U-turn Dragapult, and even Ogerpon-W for a boost and fire off its deceptively strong attacks to trade against the opposition after setting Stealth Rock. Heavy Slam lets it go toe-to-toe with even Fairy-types like Clefable, Enamorus, and, most importantly, Hatterene, with its hazard-preventing Magic Bounce. Tera Ghost lets it spinblock and take on Fighting-types like Zamazenta in a pinch. The EV spread lets it survive a critical hit from Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel and OHKO it back with +2 Payback. Offense staples like Zamazenta, Gholdengo, Dragonite, and Iron Valiant are still Ting-Lu's best friends to keep the pressure up against foes, with Gholdengo keeping Ting-Lu's Stealth Rock up via spinblocking and denying Defog with Good as Gold as well as being a sturdy answer to IronPress Zamazenta, which otherwise exploits Ting-Lu.

Ting-Lu takes hits well and pays it back two-fold! Always known as a great entry hazard setter for hyper offense offensive teams due to its incredible defensive profile, The sample that introduced this set was stated as an offense team (even if that did have ruination over heavy slam), so I think saying offensive teams is more accurate, as it isn't just a HO exclusive Ting-Lu can take advantage of this hit-taking capabilities further by going on the offensive with Weakness Policy + 3 attacks.

Hyper offense Offense staples like Zamazenta, Gholdengo, Dragonite, and Iron Valiant are still Ting-Lu's best friends to keep the pressure up against the foes, with Gholdengo keeping its Stealth Rock up via spinblocking and blocking Defog with Good as Gold as well as being a sturdy answer to IronPress Zamazenta, which otherwise exploits it.

Great work, main thing is that its really close to the word count, so you might wanna take an example or two off incase you are worried about GP but it should be fine mostly.
