This compares base numbers and the type chart; it does not predict a winner. A real battle also depends on level, nature and EVs, the moves each one knows (a Pokémon does not always learn a move of its own type), held items, weather and terrain, and abilities (Ting-Lu: Vessel of Ruin; Chi-Yu: Beads of Ruin), so either one can come out ahead.
Who moves first?
At Level 50 with 252 Speed EVs, 31 IVs and a neutral nature, Ting-Lu has 97 Speed and Chi-Yu has 152, so Chi-Yu moves first when both use moves of the same priority and no item, ability, status or stat change gets in the way.
| Speed | Ting-Lu | Chi-Yu |
|---|---|---|
| Base Speed | 45 | 100 |
| Level 50, 252 EVs, neutral nature | 97 | 152 |
