Ting-Lu is ‘shaking up’ the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet meta, and Wolfe Glick isn’t having it

With Regulation C officially taking over as the new format for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet VGC, fans saw the four Treasures of Ruin—Chien-Pao, Chi-Yu, Chien-Pao, and Ting-Lu—make their debut at Fort Wayne Regionals. These Legendary Pokémon boast stat-dropping Abilities and their shared signature attack, Ruination. All four were among the top 12 most common Pokémon at the tournament (although poor Wo-Chien fell off by day two).

However, there was one Treasure of Ruin in particular that stood out this weekend: Ting-Lu with Fissure. On its own, Ting-Lu is very bulky and not quite as offensive as Chien-Pao or Chi-Yu. But because of its bulk and Ground-typing, it can take advantage of the highly inaccurate OHKO move Fissure.
