[OVERVIEW]
Despite its passable Special Attack and support movepool, Chingling is a mediocre pick on any team; it's not able to excel in any role due to its unfavorable typing, which leaves it weak to common moves such as Knock Off, Pursuit, and U-turn, and its crummy defensive stats, which leave it prone to being overwhelmed by wallbreakers. It is completely outclassed by Slowpoke and Spritzee at any role it attempts.

[SET COMMENTS]
Chingling can attempt to switch into resisted attacks, such as Mienfoo's High Jump Kick and Timburr's Drain Punch, and take advantage of the free turn to attack them or use Recover. However, most Fighting-types run coverage that allows them to heavily damage Chingling back, making other Fighting-type counters like Mareanie, Foongus, and Spritzee much more reliable.
