Answer 1

Ting-Lu @ Leftovers
Ability: Vessel of Ruin
Tera Type: Dragon / Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Def
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Body Press

This is for singles OU. Tera Dragon is for it's common weakness to water and grass. You can run Tera Steel if you want more overall resistances but I think Dragon is better.

this is what i use, but tera ghost for blocking spin

Answer 2

Gen 9 OU singles physical tank set
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Vessel of Ruin
Tera Type: Fire/Flying (chose them because they both handle Ting-Lus Grass, Bug, and Fighting/Ice weaknesses)
EVs: 252 HP, 129 Atk, 129 Def
Nature: Adamant (lowers SpA, boosts Atk)
- Eathquake
- Throat Chop
- Tera Blast
- Rock Slide

Earthquake and Throat Chop are STAB. Tera Blast is because Ting-Lu can’t learn any Fire/Flying moves normally. Rock Slide is for coverage.

EVs should be in multiples of 4.

Answer 3

Gen 9 AG Physically Defensive Lead & Phazer

Ting-Lu @ Leftovers
Ability: Vessel of Ruin
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Whirlwind
- Throat Chop
- Earthquake

Pretty average defensive investment, with significant Atk. SR to set up as a lead, Whirlwind due to the immense amount of Calm Mind, Speed Boost, Swords Dance, Flame Charge, etc. setup sweepers in AG. Throat Chop and EQ for STAB and to not be non-Prankster Taunt fodder. Lefties for longevity, Tera Ghost for spinblocking.

Answer 4

Gen 9 Monotype Choice Band (Ground)

Ting-Lu @ Choice Band
Ability: Vessel of Ruin
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 28 HP / 252 Atk / 184 SpD / 44 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Throat Chop
- Heavy Slam
- Stone Edge

With Pokemon such as Gastrodon, Clodsire, and Clodsire being able to setup hazards for Ground teams, Ting-Lu can use different sets such as a Choice Band set. While Choice Band Ting-Lu is far from the standard defensive set, the set is funny, and the surprise factor is definitely there. Earthquake is Ting-Lu's most powerful STAB move. Throat Chop is Ting-Lu's only good physical Dark STAB that is useful against Pokemon such as Slowbro and Brambleghast. Heavy Slam allows Ting-Lu to nail Fairy-types such as Iron Valiant and Hatterene. Stone Edge allows Ting-Lu to hit Flying-types such as Kilowattrel, Gyarados, Iron Jugulis, Dragonite, and Bombirdier.

252 Attack EVs allow Ting-Lu to hit as hard as possible. 44 Speed EVs allow Ting-Lu to outspeed base 50 Pokemon such as Iron Hands. The rest of the EVs are honestly just to maximize Ting-Lu's special bulk.
