sorry it took me a bit to get to this. Im just gonna make a list of the things you can improve here, and where you likely made mistakes.Thank you so much for the explanation and for the updated calc. I made a second try:
Ting-Lu @ Weakness Policy
Brave Nature
Ability: Vessel of Ruin
EVs: 180 HP / 198 Atk / 56 Def / 76 SpD
- Earthquake
- Payback
- Heavy Slam
- Taunt
I made it more focused on countering spa attackers. I invested in hp and attack, i slipt the spd with def, now it can tank +1 max spa iron bundles ice beam, it is bulky enough for tanking adaband slakings hammer arm, it also surives 252 +1 flutter mane moonblast.
After activating wp, it can defeat flutter mane, iron valiant, iron bundle and slaking
Def Calcs:
+1 252 SpA Ruin Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 179 HP / 76 SpD Ting-Lu: 204-242 (80.9 - 96%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (100.00% chance to 2HKO after accuracy)
+1 252+ Atk Slaking Hammer Arm vs. 179 HP / 56+ Def Ting-Lu: 158-186 (62.6 - 73.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (81.00% chance to 2HKO after accuracy)
+1 252+ SpA Ruin Iron Bundle Blizzard (spread) vs. 179 HP / 76 SpD Ting-Lu: 186-218 (73.8 - 86.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (49.00% chance to 2HKO after accuracy)
1. 198 is not a multiple of 4, making the set on showdown helps you not avoid this mistake
2. Im pretty sure you didnt set the auto level thing to 100, and judging by the blizzard, its in doubles mode as well
3. You should bulk giga impact or low kick from slaking since those do more than hammer arm
4. You say it bulks bundles ice beam, then show a calc for spread move blizzard
5. The flutter mane calc should be for modest flutter mane
6. the set says brave nature, but in the slaking calc it has a +defense nature
7. none of the calcs show that you are using those attacks as benchmarks. You should just barely always live those hits, so that you dont need to spend as many evs in bulk, and you have more evs to put in attack or speed.
Im seeing improvement, but you still arent showing that you know how to optimize evs, so i would recommend checking out my ev guide (if you havent already) before you submit another application
