The Cards Of Pokémon TCG: Paldea Evolved Part 28: Ting-Lu Ex

Scarlet & Violet - Paldea Evolved features the Pokémon TCG debut of Ting-Lu, one of the Treasures of Ruin Legendary Pokémon.

With Sword & Shield officially concluded, the Scarlet & Violet era of the Pokémon TCG kicked off in March 2023 with a focus on the ninth generation of Pokémon games and the new region: Paldea. It all began with the Scarlet & Violet base set, which introduced major, lasting changes to the hobby. Now, the borders of the cards have become silver, matching the Japanese releases. Another major change is that now, each pack culminates in at least a holo-rare and two reverse holos. The major mechanic of this era is the lowercase ex, which features a double holographic pattern of a horizontal shine and a starry sparkle. Full Art exs now use a green, foil outline around the Pokémon. The Secret Rare section of expansions going forward features Full Arts, Illustration Rares and Special Illustration Rare exs, Full Art Trainers, Special Illustration Rare Trainers, and Gold Hyper Rares. On June 9th, 2023, the Pokémon TCG released the second set of this era, Scarlet & Violet – Paldea Evolved, which focused on the Paldean Starters and the Treasures of Ruin Legendaries. In today's installment of this Scarlet & Violet – Paldea Evolved art spotlight, let's take a look at one of the Treasures of Ruin Legendary Pokémon, which gets an ex in this expansion: Ting-Lu.

Ting-Lu is a new Dark/Ground-type Legendary introduced in the Paldea region in the Scarlet & Violet games. Its first-ever Pokémon TCG appearance is this ex illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Let's get to know Ting-Lu through its Dex entries. These entries read:

The fear poured into an ancient ritual vessel has clad itself in rocks and dirt to become a Pokémon.

It slowly brings its exceedingly heavy head down upon the ground, splitting the earth open with huge fissures that run over 160 feet deep.

Stay tuned for the journey through this special set as we continue to spotlight the cards and artwork of Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paldea Evolved. Next time, the spotlight continues with the main section of the set. You can read more about this iconic trading card game right here at Bleeding Cool.
