I just want to erase this annoying Stealth Rock-Whirlwind as fast as possible. If it's a physical attack, please account for a Ting-Lu with max Defense investment and a nature that raises defense. If it's a Special attack, please account for Vessel of Ruin, max SpDef investment, and a nature that raises SpDef. If there aren't any Pokémon that can OHKO Ting-Lu in these circumstances, please just tell me a Pokémon that can usually OHKO or even 2HKO Ting-Lu. Thanks!

Lots can 2HKO, but even stuff like Specs Valiant and Band Bax cant OHKO without setup, hazards, etc. Niche stuff like Tera Fighting Hoopa-U can though.

252 SpA Choice Specs Tera Fighting Hoopa-Unbound Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu: 450-530 (87.5 - 103.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO after 1 layer of Spikes
What about Technician Wide Lens Population Bomb?
It can't do so in OU, but of course Ting-Lu can OHKO Ting-Lu...with Fissure.
252+ Atk Technician Maushold Population Bomb (10 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu: 240-280 (46.6 - 54.4%) -- approx. 2% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

The thing is, with this damn deer, it is nearly impossible to one shot this thing. The best option has always been just to use the move that it hates the most, taunt. It's why even in ubers, this thing is so goddamn strong because it is the best slow down sign to Miraidon, yes fking Miraidon, the very same one that some ubers players are considering as problematic. The thing even decides to abuse Koraidon's own sun and use an instant charge solarbeam to delete this deer. Anyways, in ou, there are several ways to one shot the damn deer. However, many of them need slight chip damage, weather conditions, or non ideal usage of tera. Here's what I've gathered from the mons in the viability rankings

Great Tusk

252 Atk Choice Band Tera Fighting Great Tusk Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu: 488-576 (94.9 - 112%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

This is one of those that isn't ideal in any circumstances because Tusk needs to deal with a lot of things right now including that stupid, living incarnation of cancer itself, Kingambit

Iron Valiant

+2 252 Atk Iron Valiant Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu: 482-570 (93.7 - 110.8%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO

This one is not that bad since all you need to do is click sd, which many physical sets do anyway

Greninja

+1 252 SpA Life Orb Tera Water Greninja Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu: 499-588 (97 - 114.3%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO

+1 252 SpA Life Orb Greninja Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu in Rain: 556-658 (108.1 - 128%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Once more, not so ideal because this requires battle bond to have activated. Before that, I don't think Greninja ever one shots even with specs rain hydro miss

Walking Wake

244+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Water Walking Wake Hydro Steam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu in Rain: 520-616 (101.1 - 119.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

This one I'm not so sure how ideal this is

Azumarill

+6 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Liquidation vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu: 830-980 (161.4 - 190.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

This one, I don't think this is ideal since Azumarill has mostly become to check Baxcalibur. I guess this has uses from time to time but I personally have not seen it much

Basculegion

252+ Atk Choice Band Tera Water Basculegion Wave Crash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu: 480-568 (93.3 - 110.5%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO

252+ Atk Choice Band Basculegion Wave Crash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu in Rain: 542-638 (105.4 - 124.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Rillaboom

252+ Atk Choice Band Rillaboom Wood Hammer vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu in Grassy Terrain: 504-594 (98 - 115.5%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

Breloom

252+ Atk Choice Band Tera Fighting Breloom Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu: 532-628 (103.5 - 122.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Iron Hands

200+ Atk Choice Band Tera Fighting Iron Hands Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu: 544-640 (105.8 - 124.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252 Atk Choice Band Tera Fighting Great Tusk Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ting-Lu: 488-576 (94.9 - 112%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

For the rest of them, they are absolutely not ideal at all. They're in the B ranks so they're not that common

Thanks!
So basically, the only things that can OHKO without setup are Tera burners and Rain/Grassy Terrain users.
