That would be a perfect explanation but at the same time she hates corviknight. If game freak were actually creative they shouldāve expanded on its lore and make gigaton hammer super effective against bisharp and corvkinight ignoring their steel resistance
To me knocking a shiny corviknight out of the sky would be a flex to other tinkas. I get what your saying tho I also would like a diff colour palette on tinkaton
Have you seen her? Flawless design. Femme with huge hitāem weapon can never be wrong. Sheās silly and i love her. Also was anyone else surprised by how big she was when next to your trainer?
Honestly? Design is peak. 100/10, no notes. But it's stats? Imo its highest stat should be attack. Because of y'know. The big hammer. But it's defense first? Idk, I don't get it.
She's cute, really good attack stats, all around great pokemon and my fave from this gen with Ogerpon in a close second. Only thing that would make her better is if she had a rocket powered hammer but I feel like that would be a mega evo if they ever bring them back.
Nope. I don't like the design at all. Hammer is fine it's everything else I can't stand. Especially the stupid ass mouth.
Luckily there's like 999 other pokemon and at least 100 of them are excellent designs.
For me, it's the mouth and the hands. It's a shame, because when leakers said "pink fairy," I was very excited. I am a huge Fairy-type fan. Prior to gen 6, my teams were almost exclusively normal types. With introduction of Fairy type, my teams have been mono-Fairy or Fairy/Normal. Wigglytuff, Clefable, Alcremie, Audino, Dachsbun, Blissey, Sylveon, and so many others. In theory, a pink chaos gremlin that carries a hammer sounds like a perfect addition to my usual teams. In execution, I have such a dislike for the design elements of Tinkaton that I can't bring myself to use it. Granted, I dislike Tinkaton's prior evolutions worse. Which that's actually unusual for me. Typically I find the lower stage forms to look best (e.g. Jigglypuff, Togetic). I've had entire playthroughs with unevolved Pokemon for that reason.
I would actually consider it one of my favorites of the generation. Though to be fair, I'm a sucker for Fairy types. Fidough/Dachsbun was the Token fairy type of my team for awhile, but then I opted for one that had a dual type. Hence Tinkaton.
Ngl I donāt really like tinkaton. I donāt hate it, itās just a bunch of the pokemon from scvi donāt really feel like pokemon, and the designs can be lackluster. Also just not a fan of pokemon that strongly resemble people
absolutely stole the show in my playthrough of scarlet, and is in my top favorite pokemon, which is a list that has not really seen changes in years. when i first discovered tinkatink i couldn't help but think of the doll from lilo & stitch and i am so glad that the lil goober was an instant team addition because it absolutely made my playthrough
The fact that itās not a physical attacker is a crime of the highest order. when I see giant hammer I think SMASH! not special defence.
Great design, terrible moveset, stats and abilities. Like each could have worked individually, but all of them kinda suck together.
Honestly, giving her an ability like Huge Power would have been very fitting and make her so much better, let her whack that hammer for who knows how much damage.
And then the fact that other than the hammer the only other devent steel type move she learns is Flash Cannon so she's kinda forever relegated to being a mixed attacker which sucks a lot.
Amazing design in all regards, and an instant slot on my playthrough. I just wish it was able to actually pose a threat to Corviknight like its lore suggests. Making Gigaton Hammer super-effective against Steel like how Freeze-Dry beats Water is what I'd probably do to try and fix that.
I do love Tinkaton, with a swords dance setup and Gigaton Hammer, she's ruthless! I love the lore and find the fact that they smack Corvinights with their hammers so cute and funny! Tinkaton was instantly added to my team!

Was an instant add for my 1st playthrough. Loved it
I walked all the way to the dessert as soon as I was allowed out of mezagoza for a tinkatink that I named dinkadonk
I named mine Arson
Appropriate name
Dinkleberg!!! [shakes fist]
Pinky is my favorite new teammate from this gen. Fantastic lil murder muffin.
Same here I named mine TONkA
Mine was Kirby
Mine was name Toph
I found two shinies, one (fairy tera) is named Chaos Baby! (with the !) and the other (steel tera) is named Hammer Time
Same. I named mine Amy Rose because pink, and hammer
Bonk
Came here to say this.
You got there first
graduated from the university of slay with a masters in serving
With a minor in BONK
Puts the MOTHER is Motherfucker just hit my fucking Corviknight
With a minor in PAIN š¤£
Looks like Mawile's cousin, and I love it
Both steel/fairy tbf
Omg I forgot Mawile existed! But youāre so right!
Mawileās corvinknight hating cousin
Gigaton hammer should have a side effect that makes it SE to steel types
Everybody has a plan until they get GIGATON HAMMERED TO THE HEAD
If freeze dry is SE against water why canāt gigaton hammer do the same
At least unresisted by all would've been nice
Exactly that would make so much sense irl blacksmiths use hammers on metal and the tink line hunt steel types to make bigger hammers
Steel and fire types like a blacksmith and would give a cool setup for steel types to have a way to deal with their fire weakness.
Were making it to OU with this one š„š„š„ Gambit and Golden jimmy in shambles.
flawless, does no wrong, beautiful, breathtaking, absolutely amazing
Absolutely. Fell in love as soon as I saw it. Instantly one of my favs, had to be on my team.
Great defensive mom too!
One dislike on behalf of Corviknight
Ngl im kinda bummed out I canāt nickname her Whackabitch
I named her Radfem because I just know she lives for riot gurl
She is the moment
Thousands of Corviknight have been scarred for life by their actions.
Did we all forget she murders bisharp and pawniard too? Which probably caused them to evolve in paldea?
I love her, AND her murderous tendencies.
Real gremlin energy.
She should murder more mediocre Steel types then š š¼
God forbid women do anything
Hey, a Girls gotta eat. And collect scrap metal to improve her murder weapon ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
That would be a perfect explanation but at the same time she hates corviknight. If game freak were actually creative they shouldāve expanded on its lore and make gigaton hammer super effective against bisharp and corvkinight ignoring their steel resistance
Excellent pokƩmon! One of my Top 10 from Paldea, but I HATE the shiny... A rusted hammer should have been a colour variant, like Florges. Items a pokƩmon carry should NEVER take precedence over changing the colour of the actual creature. Change the body colour AND the hammer, or just the body. That's my stance on it, anyway.
Rusted? I always thought it was copper.
Perfectly valid interpretation.
To me knocking a shiny corviknight out of the sky would be a flex to other tinkas. I get what your saying tho I also would like a diff colour palette on tinkaton
I like the way you're approaching the shiny, but the colours remain consistent and don't match across all stages. Both images are taken directly from PokƩmon Home, so there are no differences in lighting affecting colour. I honestly would have preferred your idea for the shiny over what we got; a Tinkaton being vicariously shniy via the metal of the Corviknight it used to craft the hammer. Shame it wasn't the case. https://preview.redd.it/02jgtkb4yx3d1.png?width=947&format=png&auto=webp&s=051d31a9281947250a6c84c53c629c027ad92c54
Tinkaton smashĀ
Proud member of the Gengar club
My lil GOAT
Best Gen 9 mon (besides maybe Ogerpon ā girls with big murder weapons are just great)
I find her more op than ogerpon due to so many "not so effective" stats! It rocks! Just fire and ground :/
Have you seen her? Flawless design. Femme with huge hitāem weapon can never be wrong. Sheās silly and i love her. Also was anyone else surprised by how big she was when next to your trainer?
More to love
my queen
My spirit animal
This. This right here.
BIG HAMMER GO BAM BAM
She kinda reminds me of Louise from Bobās Burgers
Two Words! Gigaton Hammer!
Love her, she reminds me of my younger sister, small but fierce-spirited.
Honestly? Design is peak. 100/10, no notes. But it's stats? Imo its highest stat should be attack. Because of y'know. The big hammer. But it's defense first? Idk, I don't get it.
High gremlin energy. In other words, perfect.
One if my favorites of this gen, too bad her stats are mid. :/
Sheās so badass.
heres my thought about that bonking machine: "will it mass murder Celesteela like it does it to Corviknight?"
She's gonna try, that's for sure
She's that 5'2 girly that chooses violence everytime
oh THAT'S why I like her, she's me
I love actually really like her, though I am a big fan of fairy Pokemon š
She's cute, really good attack stats, all around great pokemon and my fave from this gen with Ogerpon in a close second. Only thing that would make her better is if she had a rocket powered hammer but I feel like that would be a mega evo if they ever bring them back.
Pink will always be the best!
Favorite to play through the game with
Awww my beautiful menace
sheās a silly little criminal and i love her
The only PokĆ©mon I knew would be on my team before any other PokĆ©mon ( even my starter). Because of its typing, fairy/steel is the best combination in the game, and its look was a huge selling point for me. Itās a little pink troll with a massive steel hammer, hell yes š
Love-a-ton š©·š©¶
One of the peak design Pokemon
>Tiny dude >Big weapon Does anyone need anything else?!
Peak
One of, if not THE, standout of the generation. Along with Quaquaval.
Sheās a main stay on my team. Absolutely love her
We think itās hands-down the best new design in several generations. Immediately skyrocketed to my top-10 all-time favourite PokĆ©mon designs.
Murderous covenknight eating fairy need I say more
fucking slaps
Am I her only hater
why do you hate her bro?
I love Corviknight and they made something that kill him she can't even do something to Corviknight in CompƩtitive
Found the Corviknight
Nope. I don't like the design at all. Hammer is fine it's everything else I can't stand. Especially the stupid ass mouth. Luckily there's like 999 other pokemon and at least 100 of them are excellent designs.

Wish she had a better shiny form.
Bam Bam on steroids
I like her hair
god
One of the best mons
Haha funny hammer go brrr
i would die for her <3
I love her. My favorite pokemon from Gen 9.
Fairy type who hates steel types and is super cute in the final evolution? She perfect this PokƩmon was made for me
Cute and Deadly
Incredibly destructive and uncaring menace. I love it.
The ultimate bonk stick
Extra love! š
I like her, kept one on my team throughout the entire game. Her name's Tinkerbell.
Love tinkaton sheās a beast I nicknamed her Boothang in my play through
Hehe smol girl big hammer hehe
i would die for her lmao
Girlboss
Sheās perfect in every way! Was the mvp my first play thru Fs
Me like Frankenfairy with big hammer. Shiny is disappoint.
Steel/Fairy is a great type combo
I love it Amazing gremlin energy One of the best gen 9 designs Wish it had more attack though.
#BUFF HER ATTACK, LET HER BE THE MENACE SHE WAS BORN TO BE
A brother in bonk
One of the best gen 9 mons
I used her a lot during the DLC, sheās stupidly op. I like her shiny too.
She was the first one I shiny hunted. Absolutely love her design
love her more than life itself
Should be able to use Dragon / Wood hammer. But 10/10
The cutest creature everš„°š„°š„°
Gremlin (very affectionate)
Baby of unfathomable rage, I love her
Cutie patootie!! Love her so much, sheās on my team, her name is BonBon :3
š
That it tinkers a ton
Little pink guts but with hammer
Little god of war
 āSmash it with a hammer!ā
I would actually consider it one of my favorites of the generation. Though to be fair, I'm a sucker for Fairy types. Fidough/Dachsbun was the Token fairy type of my team for awhile, but then I opted for one that had a dual type. Hence Tinkaton.
Ngl I donāt really like tinkaton. I donāt hate it, itās just a bunch of the pokemon from scvi donāt really feel like pokemon, and the designs can be lackluster. Also just not a fan of pokemon that strongly resemble people
B O N K
absolutely stole the show in my playthrough of scarlet, and is in my top favorite pokemon, which is a list that has not really seen changes in years. when i first discovered tinkatink i couldn't help but think of the doll from lilo & stitch and i am so glad that the lil goober was an instant team addition because it absolutely made my playthrough
The fact that itās not a physical attacker is a crime of the highest order. when I see giant hammer I think SMASH! not special defence.
Id kill for her
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it Gigaton Hammer
Big hammer good
Amazing pink gremlin baby
cutie patootie
Probably one of mt favorites this generation.
Best thing to ever exist
Very fun pokemon to have on a team, I love her
For me it was peak PokĆ©mon design until Ogerpon. Now i jokingly call Tinkaton āOgerpon at home.ā I still love its design and it only fell to second place in my book It doesnāt help that Ogerpon had a whole ass DLC to show some personality, so itās definitely cheating.
Sheās great, I always make sure sheās part of my team at some point during the game.
I named mine Lil Bastard. She certainly lives up to that.
the god of all fairy pokemon (except zacian)
Top tier design, mid tier stats
I adore that little germin I names mines Blossom.
I love my pink chaotic little girl with the comically oversized bonk hammer, and I also love that Tinkaton actually goes goblin mode
Great design, terrible moveset, stats and abilities. Like each could have worked individually, but all of them kinda suck together. Honestly, giving her an ability like Huge Power would have been very fitting and make her so much better, let her whack that hammer for who knows how much damage. And then the fact that other than the hammer the only other devent steel type move she learns is Flash Cannon so she's kinda forever relegated to being a mixed attacker which sucks a lot.
In the begi I hated her design but she's grown on me
Bird murderer.
Tottenham
Gremlin
Taffy, the drift kingās signature, but disobedient, murder weapon
I love this little gremlin. Although I think they cheated us on the shiny.
incredibly based. will hard carry you in-game. easily my most relevant and used pokemon
Mold Breaker + T wave + stealth rock goes crazy
10/10 would use in my next play through again. Solid typing and great moves with a charismatic yet brutal personality
One of the best designs of the 9th gen, awesome typing and strong early VGC setups.
Thaaat's it she getting her Mallet!
B O N K
Well considering Corviknight is my favorite bird pokemonā¦
'only a spoonful' but genderbent
If I do another playthrough, Iām naming mine Harley Quinn.
Might honestly be my fav pokemon this Gen.
Amazing design. Really wish they made her good
I love her I always catch one and call it Mei-mei
Tinkabonk. Extra love
Someone gave a tamagotchi a hammer
Absolute banger design and typing, deserves better stats for being such a banger but Iāll use it regardless because itās a banger.
I'm all for it.
Had no intention of using it at first then I started using it and fell in love. Hames mine Bam Bam
"Ew, I hate that thing." -Corviknight, probably
Apparently itās amazing in Pokerogue
Wasn't a big fan at first but now I'm in love. Last few gens have had some of the best designs ever and tinkaton is a great example
Found out I was pronouncing its name wrong so that was sad
Perfect, absolutely perfect. Down to the last minute detail.
The vgc player in me is crying watching all of these innocent souls, blissfully unaware of how trash this thing is
Clutched up for me against Hasselās Baxcalibur. Iām a fan.

Love her. Cant stop. Won't stop. 100% pure menace.
I used her for my first Paldea playthrough. And she was great! But thereās something wrong with her. She needs a gun.
She's a scarecrow
Shouldāve been in Digimon instead of PokĆ©mon
twinkaton (best pokemon on my team
Amazing design in all regards, and an instant slot on my playthrough. I just wish it was able to actually pose a threat to Corviknight like its lore suggests. Making Gigaton Hammer super-effective against Steel like how Freeze-Dry beats Water is what I'd probably do to try and fix that.
My role model
I feel like the map is pretty easy going
Gorgeous, perfect subverted expectations, my only thing is I wish they wouldāve been a second Psuedo-Legendary
Fucking creature.
I do love Tinkaton, with a swords dance setup and Gigaton Hammer, she's ruthless! I love the lore and find the fact that they smack Corvinights with their hammers so cute and funny! Tinkaton was instantly added to my team!
Became a new top 5 as soon as I saw it
You mean Tinkaboss. All others are worthless in comparison. Except maybe Baxcalibur. But only because Baxcalibur is basically Snow Godzilla.
I think I named mine Tonkabonk. 10/10 PokƩmon and decent shiny imo as well
What do I think of Tinkaton? Easy. #BONK
