Read more ↓Ting-Lu is a legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IX, known as one of the Treasures of Ruin. This imposing Pokémon is part of a quartet of legendary creatures sealed away in ancient artifacts, each embodying a specific aspect of natural disaster. Ting-Lu represents the concept of "earthquake" or "landslide," its immense weight and power capable of reshaping the landscape. Its lore describes it as a being formed from the resentment of a broken ritual vessel, its immense mass causing cracks in the earth wherever it treads. Ting-Lu typically inhabits mountainous regions and deep caverns, preferring solitude in its vast, rocky domains. Its diet is largely conceptual, feeding on the "essence" of the earth or the fear it instills. In the games, Ting-Lu is a formidable opponent, often found guarding ancient ruins or significant landmarks in the Paldea region. Its design, reminiscent of a large, heavy deer or moose with a cracked vessel on its head, emphasizes its connection to ancient, destructive forces. Its Ground/Dark typing provides it with unique defensive and offensive capabilities, making it a challenging Pokémon to face in battle. In the anime and other media, Ting-Lu's immense power and ancient origins are often highlighted, portraying it as a force of nature.
