Any suggestions are welcome

It's been a while since Tingl-Lu was in play. Its ability is incredibly powerful, but its clause against Ex Pokemon means that your opponent's most powerful abilities are still going to be in play. However, there are still a lot of good single-prize, radiant, and Pokemon V with important abilites that can seriously hurt your opponent's strategy (Example: Locking down Baxcaliber to stop Chien-Pao Exs damage output, Locking down Bibarel to prevent your opponent from recovering

It's been a while since Tingl-Lu was in play. Its ability is incredibly powerful, but its clause against Ex Pokemon means that your opponent's most powerful abilities are still going to be in play. However, there are still a lot of good single-prize, radiant, and Pokemon V with important abilites that can seriously hurt your opponent's strategy (Example: Locking down Baxcaliber to stop Chien-Pao Exs damage output, Locking down Bibarel to prevent your opponent from recovering from a late game Iono, Locking down Arceus Vstar's Starbirth, etc). So I focused in on consistently setting up Tin-Lu's Ability lock and Powering up your attackers. Hitmolee and Spinda in one attack can fully damage the board to set up Ting-Lu's ability lock. Hitmonlee sets it up automatically by switching Ting-Lue to the active spot, but Spinda is for more aggressive decks that hate confusion. Energy acceleration is the main thing holding this deck back. Gutsy pickaxe is not always reliable. You'll have to use things like Tm Energize and Koraidon's ability, both end your turn. You have to win a slow grind game, but if you are up for the challenge give the deck a try.

 i see great potential in ting-lu with some new additions from temporal forces and the rotation of path to the peak

bonnas Yeah its looking good so far. I just focused on making it as consistent as possible. I think the hero's cape Ace spec would probably work best with this build, but your certainly welcome to try. The only issue with Ting-Lu is how slow it is to set up (only reliable energy acceleration is Koraidon ex) and does it has nothing against ex pokemon ( like Charizard ex).

I was thinking maximun belt would work wonders, because you could 2hit charizzard and be 20dmg short for chienpao, easily reachable with alakazam.

Also, the heavy baton would be an amazing addition for consistency.

Another nice addition could be the cibermaniac's codebreaking, so you could use gutsy pickaxe more consistenly

bonnas Thanks for the suggestions. I'll add them when Temporal Forces releases and are added to the database.
