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)
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.
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

Thank you, your guide helped me a lot. I was having a lot of trouble making this set(and didnt payed attention to the auto level and to be in singles lol), but now i think that i understood:


Ting-Lu @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Vessel of Ruin
EVs: 56 HP / 252 Atk / 152 SpD / 48 Spe
Careful Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Earthquake
- Payback
- Taunt


It achieved
Survives Ada +1 Slaking Giga Impact
+1 252+ Atk Slaking Giga Impact vs. 56 HP / 0 Def Ting-Lu: 388-457 (83.4 - 98.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (81.00% chance to 2HKO after accuracy)

Survives Modest +1 Iron Bundles Blizzard(this time in singles lol)
+1 252+ SpA Ruin Iron Bundle Blizzard vs. 56 HP / 152+ SpD Ting-Lu: 392-464 (84.3 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (49.00% chance to 2HKO after accuracy)

Survives Modest +1 Flutter Manes Moonblast
+1 252+ SpA Ruin Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 56 HP / 152+ SpD Ting-Lu: 362-428 (77.8 - 92%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (100.00% chance to 2HKO after accuracy)
with 56 HP / 220 Atk / 152 SpD

And there were 80 reaming evs, so i spent them in attack and speed

This is much better, but its not quite optimal for a few reasons:
1. I was able to get 8 more evs (using a careful nature) with this spread EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 168 SpD / 56 Spe
2. The way that rounding works with stat boosts vs choice specs is a bit different with ruin, so you do have to actually set the item to choice specs to get the accurate calc. 252+ SpA Choice Specs Ruin Iron Bundle Blizzard vs. 56 HP / 152+ SpD Ting-Lu: 396-468 (85.1 - 100.6%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO (4.41% chance to OHKO after accuracy)
3. You should actually be using an adamant nature, since your attack stat is your highest stat before multipliers. So with adamant the optimal spread is EVs: 56 HP / 204 Atk / 248 SpD
4. I would probably go with slaking low kick, bc it does a bit more damage than giga impact, and impact only takes a few evs to bulk, which results in this spread EVs: 160 HP / 152 Atk / 196 SpD

anyways, i think your starting to get the hang of it, so ill add

Edit: forgot to mention that you dont actually deal enough damage to beat slaking lol

Proof of Ladder Success.png

Finally managed to build some sets that reached that position, here we go!

Iron Bundle @ Choice Specs
Ability: Quark Drive
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Freeze-Dry
- Chilling Water
- Ice Beam

All out-Attacker, very straight forward. Chilling Water over Water Pulse because the attack drop can prove pretty useful against Sturdy Donphan and certain Tyranitar and Arcanine variants.

Talonflame @ Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Bulk Up
- Taunt/Roost

In metagame dominated by Meowscarda, Iron Valiant, Flutter Mane, and Chi-Yu, priority Brave Bird is really good especially since it ignores Booster Energy boosts, allowing you to OHKO these sets with ease. Bulk Up allows you to boost your attack while taking hits from attackers like Roaring Moon and Baxcalibur. Taunt allows you to shut down defensive Pokemon or opposing boosters, while Roost grants you longevity.

Calcs: +1 252+ Atk Life Orb Gale Wings Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 406-477 (115.6 - 135.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252+ Atk Life Orb Gale Wings Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Chi-Yu: 246-290 (98 - 115.5%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 429-507 (136.1 - 160.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Gale Wings Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Flutter Mane: 331-390 (131.8 - 155.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
1 252+ Atk Life Orb Gale Wings Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 406-477 (115.6 - 135.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leech Seed
- Spore
- Substitute
- Focus Punch

Breloom can defeat any slower Pokemon that is not immune to Leech Seed and/or Spore and doesn’t have a sound based move like Torch Song or Substitute thanks to a combination of Spore, Leech Seed, Substitute, and Poison Heal. Max Speed allows Breloom to be as fast as possible, while the attack EVs lets it maximize Focus Punch damage.
 
Spa Booster (Iron Jugulis) @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Def / 8 SpA / 44 SpD / 168 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hurricane
- Dark Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Flash Cannon
You can put the 8 evs that I put in satk in other stat, but you gain 2 extra points that the other spread have. I recomend using 248 HP (392 is divisible by 4 and this is bad) if that don't change any calc, of course...


Set for orthworm:
Orthworm @ Leftovers
Ability: Earth Eater
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 248 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Impish Nature
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Heavy Slam
- Protect

Simple evs. Physically defensive is the best. More speed evs can run for Donphan and Corviknight (with taunt) but is not worth and you still beat most Donphan sets (unless is runing encore + knock off). You can run:

Coil> Iron defense
Rest > protect
Rest> heavy slam (don't use atack evs then).
Chesto berry > Leftovers (if rest is used but gives bad mu against encore donphan)

If you feel Corviknight is better nearly all the time, don't put the set but I think is worth the worm.


Other simple set:

Torkoal @ Air Balloon
Ability: Shell Armor
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 10 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Rest
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Lava Plume

Same set that I used last gen.
Possible changes:

Overheat > lava plume (with drought to OHKO most gholdengo but now you can be crited)
Clear smog > lava plume (not sure if is worth)
 
Tinkaton (F) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 8 HP / 244 Atk / 96 Def / 4 SpD / 156 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Encore
- Play Rough
- Gigaton Hammer
- Swords Dance

Defense and HP evs allow Tinkaton to survive a Choice Band Adamant Meowscarada Low Kick

252+ Atk Choice Band Protean Meowscarada Low Kick (100 BP) vs. 8 HP / 96 Def Tinkaton: 264-312 (84.3 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Bulk in HP and Special Defense allow you to beat Flutter Mane. Air Balloon Tinkaton utilising Encore is a great way to beat Ground-Types like Donphan and Ting-Lu.

should say what the speed bench is (looks like 70s), also EVs: 24 HP / 244 Atk / 84 Def / 156 Spe gets some extra hp and special bulk. seems like you know how to ev for specific relevant benchmarks, so ill add. but remember to optimize the evs as well

dude i built this for secret santa then gave it to you
 
My assumption is that the approval process involves knowledge of EVs when making a viable set, I should've credited it being Glitched's set but not once did I claim it for my own. I can redo the post with a different set if required, I was only trying to find a good set to write around which wasn't in the Set Compendium yet.

I think Wo-chien needs a leech seed set, probably better physically defensive.

Wo-Chien @ Leftovers
Ability: Tablets of Ruin
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Spe or EVs: 252 HP / 236 Def / 20 SpD
Bold Nature
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Snarl
- Leaf Storm / Body Press

Some possible changes:

Evs:


252 HP/ 196 Def / 56 Sdef (bold nature) survives ice beam timid specs bundle (use leaf storm in that case).

252 SpA Choice Specs Iron Bundle Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 56 SpD Wo-Chien: 314-372 (83.9 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery


If you want to survive modest specs bundle, use Calm nature with the same ev spread.

For chien-pao, you 248 HP and 236 Def (Bold) for always survive icicle crash band adamant (run body press if you need to win that MU):

252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 252 HP / 236+ Def Tablets of Ruin Wo-Chien: 314-372 (83.9 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Moves

Snarl can be replaced:

Dark pulse, knock off.....maybe foul play.
Leaf storm or Gigadrain if you run Body press in slot 4.


Leaf storm /Body press can be replaced:

Gigadrain, Power whip.


You can run Substitute in slot 3 or 4.

Not sure if other moves are worth but ruination don't seem enough interesting in that set for me.


If you run physical moves and no special, change the nature accordly.
 
Walking Wake @ Booster Energy
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 80 Def / 216 SpA / 16 SpD / 196 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Hydro Pump
- Noble Roar / Chilling Water
- Agility

EVs designed for surviving Max Attack Play Rough from Meowscarada and Surviving Band Slaking Giga Impact after a Noble Roar/Chilling Water. Speed for speed tying Max Speed Garchomp and other mons who use a similar speed tier.(outspeeds 100 Base Spe mons). Agility is for scouting Meowscarada, Greninja and Iron Valiant while also being for Espathra.


Super slight tweaks are possible, removing 4 SpA in favour of 4 Spe to outspeed Max Speed Garchomp etc.

-1 252 Atk Choice Band Slaking Giga Impact vs. 0 HP / 80 Def Walking Wake: 283-334 (83.4 - 98.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

nice set. although i dont really like the benchmarks. specs wake is unused bc booster energy is better. I would probably bulk sylv hbeam at -2. evs can be optimized with 96 HP / 232 SpD, which saves 12 evs and gets extra hp. Speed benchmark is fake, only 125s in gen9 are weavile and kilowattrel (u lose to both), so probably want to go greninja speed. Nonetheless, it seems you know the basic principles of evs and benchmarks, so i'll add.

What are the speed and special defense for? it seems you are also over bulked for donphan eq -> shard, but you dont tank band. Bitter malice can hit donphan into liechi berry range, canceling out the attack drop. Dondozo can also tank a specs hyper beam if they are running spd. Im not going to add because the evs are not fully explained, and the benchmark is not chosen well, nor is it evd correctly. However, your welcome to try again.

EV Explanation: Same EVs as CB Talonflame; max Special Attack, Speed for non-Spe Booster Tusk, and SpDef for rolls vs. Sylveon. Specs offers Talonflame a guaranteed chance (if you land a hit) to beat Iron Bundle and Great Tusk with greater odds vs. any Counter users, Skeledirge, and Arcanine. Hyper Beam is there because it has no Special coverage.

EV Explanation: Same EVs as CB Talonflame; max Special Attack, Speed for non-Spe Booster Tusk, and SpDef for rolls vs. Sylveon. Specs offers Talonflame a guaranteed chance (if you land a hit) to beat Iron Bundle and Great Tusk with greater odds vs. any Counter users, Skeledirge, and Arcanine. Hyper Beam is there because it has no Special coverage.

Here is a replay of it in the final round of the No Johns tour as well as this replay from ladder.
Specs talon is a cool idea, getting solid mus vs bundle and tusk is quite nice. However, bulking sylveon doesnt make sense to me. You only beat max defense (if they dont have calm mind). You do beat most skeledirge, but lose to special defense. Arcanine wins with extreme speed, or snarl if it's stall. Speed for great tusk is also confusing, since you ohko with priority air slash. I'm not adding, but your welcome to try again. I would like to see a set with your own benchmarks that you evd for yourself.
