Hope I helped!

If sun is up, you’re outta luck. You need an assault vest with max hp and 80 spd with +spd nature

Or max hp and 184 spd

If sun isn’t up, you’re gonna get three shotted regardless

252+ SpA Flutter Mane Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 0+ SpD Tinkaton: 129-153 (34.4 - 40.9%) – guaranteed 3HKO

With an assault vest, no defensive investment is needed if +spd nature

If not +spd nature, then 116 hp evs

252+ SpA Flutter Mane Shadow Ball vs. 116 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Tinkaton: 94-112 (27.6 - 32.9%) – guaranteed 4HKO
