Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Ting Lu is a dark/ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 570 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with slow (base 45) and a physical attacking profile. Its Vessel Of Ruin ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Ting Lu. Build around what Ting Lu actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
