Grrrr...
Ting-Lu's Challenge
1. You all find yourselves caught in the rain. And the clouds bring the lightning and thunder as bolts strike at everyone. The lightning creeps closer to you, aiming to hit you all. Evade the bolts and get to safety.
Being a Ground-type, it's not the lightning that bothers Ting-Lu, it's the rain.
It bolts into the nearby trees for cover (because that's how it works, right?), seeing as it can't fit into an RV and guesses the same will apply for nearby buildings. The trees are probably a lesser evil here.
2. The rainfall increases tenfold. Before you know it, you find the camp is flooding. Reach high ground or drown.
Ting-Lu retreats further into the trees towards a hilltop. If it gets bad, its significant height means it can raise its head above the water to an extent, but it'll probably sink if it gets so bad the hilltop is flooded. If it gets desperate, it can try using Rock Slide to create a platform or climbing a tree, but good luck with the latter.
(OOC: I don't know if it needs to breathe, but I don't think it matters here; being trapped in a flood is definitely not healthy for it anyway.)
3. Now the rainwater has turned to blood. The sharks from the river are swimming after you, looking for a nice meal. Fight them off otherwise you're dinner.
Assuming the rains and flood haven't weakened it too much, this is more up its street.
After uttering a bellow of challenge (if its head is above-blood), its plan of action depends on whether they all attack at once or one at a time/in waves.
If they don't all attack at once, it will use Spikes to set traps for when the next ones approach. They can lance up to damage the sharks and aren't single-use. (OOC: I presume this is the case because of the gameplay-story discrepancy in Pokemon. Things like Beedrill, Mega Alakazam, Shedinja, Sharpedo and Miraidon look like they're floating or flying, but are technically grounded and so are hurt by them. Things like Dodrio, Galarian Zapdos, Natu, Sky Forme Shaymin and pre-Sun/Moon Gengar look grounded, but technically aren't and so are immune.)
Regardless, its typing means it can handle most biting attacks, especially things like the most likely analogues Bite and Crunch. Unless they have something like Ice Fang or Fishious Rend, or it comes down to a war of attrition and it goes down in a thousand cuts. But given that it can dish out what it takes, the latter's not very likely.
It can use Earthquake to fend them off. The sharks aren't all that safe even if they're not on land. Failing that, the aforementioned Rock Slide should suffice. Both are solid crowd control attacks.
