Based. I love that it puts so much fear into Corviknight that it can’t be the Flying Taxi for Paldea.
Based Tinkatonbro
I want her to crush my balls with her hammer
But it can hardly even actually hurt them.
Ironic that Corviknight could beat 5 or more Tinka simultaneously thanks to its shit stats movepool and ability
Stats have no relation to the actual world of Pokémon
Still ironic. Toxapex shits on Corsola ingame too and there aren't many instances of dex entries saying "x beats y", and I think all of them are true. Heatmor and Durant also
>there aren't many instances of dex entries saying "x beats y", and I think all of them are true
From memory (comparing lore vs how likely it'd be in gameplay):
>heatmor eating durant (literally built around the lore)
>dhelmise fricking with wailord (likely)
>sableye eating carbink (unlikely)
>gabite eating carbink (unlikely, carbink does more with moonblast than gabite with EQ)
>[any bird pokemon] eating [any seed pokemon] (likely)
>rayquaza fricking with minior (unlikely)
>sneasel/weavile eating a-sandshrew (likely)
>mareanie eating corsola (they only eat the branches apparently, which fits with corsola's regenerator, so likely)
>hypno feeding on komala (hypno loses like a little b***h)
Also I just found this
>bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_food#Pok.C3.A9mon_eating_other_Pok.C3.A9mon
eating carbink (unlikely, carbink does more with moonblast than gabite with EQ)
Nah it learns moonblast quite late so its easy prey
I actually never considered lvl up moves to be part of the lore, but here it just makes sense
I mean a of these are possible type wise, not a straight up impossible scenario like tinka vs corvi. I'm positive Dream eater works on Komala always so that's not a lie
>heatmor eating durant (literally built around the lore)
Good thing Durants are canonically stupid, because they group up against Heatmor and would absolutely hammer it if they were smart.
Separation of gameplay and lore.
b***h please, What con Corvi do if I boost on it with my murdermuppet and then shove a thunder-punch up his cloaca?
Corvi has always been Mawile's b***h, Tinkaton is a similar story.
Iron defense bro. I'd love a world where Mawile or Tinka beat Corvi 1v1
Even if you use that cheesy strat, Mega Mawile will still kill Corvi's ass without any buffs due to being faster. And normal Mawile will cook his ass with a sheer force-life orb boosted Fire Blast. I'm sure Tinkaton has similar options.
It's painfully obvious that you never played any competitive for more than 2 seconds
It's painfully obvious you peaked at 1200 in showdown.
swords dance encore knock off tinkaton will beat any corviknight set 1v1. swords dance and encore.
Locking into iron defence? Youll get pressure stalled
>Another thread for this shitmon
It doesn't deserve to be a shitmon, should've had 100+ attack.
Honestly, having one good attack with trash stats is just moronic. Better to have good stats and a somewhat strong signature move. This basically locks it into using that move and nothing else; forget using Play-Rough for Fairy coverage or any other physical moves, no, just spam its hammer move with 5pp. Seriously, what were they thinking? 100 ATK with the move being 100 power with more pp would've been way better. I'm going to try using it just to see if it's viable at all. Probably will have to heal it constantly just for the pp.
Can't spam Gigaton Hammer, it strictly says can't be used twice, so you'll have to do something else in between Gigaton Hammer like use Play Rough..
She does learn Swords Dance, Skill Swap, and Draining Kiss, so you might be able to work with that.
With 70 ATK, Play Rough isn't going to do anything. Maybe do a Sword Dance, but honestly I'm probably just gonna run Protect on her and go attack, protect, attack, etc.
>run Protect on her and go attack, protect, attack, etc.
That'll average to the same overall damage as just using an 80 power move like Iron Head.
Same damage, but I'll be protected for half of it, so I think it'll be safer overall
Didnt the 1.0.1 patch improve her stats?
No, those was mainly old mons stats being rebalanced, none of the Gen 9 mons were touched.
>old mons stats being rebalanced
Where can I find more about the patch changes?
I think this is absolutely untrue. Only Zacian and Zama got -10 atk that's all
cress has -10 to both defenses
zacian has -10 atk in normal form and -20 crowned ofrm.
since zamazenta has to suffer from zacian's crimes it also gets the debuff (-10 atk in normal form; -10 atk -5 both defenses in crowned form). at least it gets body press now
oh also kleavor loses 5 attack in favor of sp. def for whatever reason
>at least it gets body press now
This is like seeing the most unlucky guy succeed for once. Even if idgaf of Ubers or VGC that poor mon has finally escaped hell
Here: https://twitter.com/CentroLeaks/status/1591174125023686656
Oh nice
My boy Chieng has maybe a shot to be OU with this -10 atk nerf
Its ability is still an aura ability that decreases the opponent’s defense. There’s no way that it won’t be banned even with the nerf.
They nerfed the legendary quartet
Oh, so I wasn't imagining it being incredibly fricking weak?
I wish the actual Pokemon was a bit more appealing, but the concept is excellent.
Whats the concept exactly, out of everything this thing has a giant hammer...why
Tiny creature + impossibly big weapon = lethal joke. Seems cut and dry to me.
Isn't a cute girl sporting a giant ass hammer a common anime trope
Monster Hunter reference, I guess?
Agreed
Elves who work in clock shops or some fairy tale like that maybe
>Great idea
>Actual execution has barely any design traits to latch onto whatsever, it's just a nondescript pink -thing- with hair and a hammer slapped on
Why must we be saddled with this monkey's paw
Shit didn't used to be like this
I dont get what the hammer has to do with anything. am I missing something or is this shit some reddit tier "mUrDer ur fAce <3" gayhotry
It's something to do with killing the pedos that wanna frick it
Its a fairy type that was bullied by steetypes so it created a giant hammer out of their corpses so it can smack big rocks at corviknights and knock them out of the sky, and generally be a little shit toward steel types as revenge.
Which is to say she captures the story of the Team Stars plotline perfectly, being an excellent loremon, both in terms of its individual story and relation to the plot at large
>so it created a giant hammer out of their corpses
how did it get corpses if it got bullied for being a shitmon?
Remember, this is a game in which you can harvest crafting materials from the wild pokemon you defeat. This just so happens to be a species of little shits that can also do it
Worked its way up, though I've got no clue how considering those shit stats.
>Never seen a Dwarf or heard of Knocker Goblins
i definitely never heard of dwarves trying to knock steel birds out of the sky.
In fact the most famous piece of fantasy literature had dwarves get utterly fricking destroyed by the aerial steel fortress of a dragon.
>LOTR
Do they have steel birds in that movie?
>lotr
>Movie
Just when i think i can't hate you people any fricking more, you always find a way to surprise me.
Get the FRICK out of here monkey.
>i definitely never heard of dwarves trying to knock steel birds out of the sky.
Hmm, maybe because that's part of the lore the designers came up with on their own?
"e-girl with big hammer" is a pretty common trope
Is Tink really a e-girl or just a short woman?
Shortstack
hell yeah, sign me the frick up compa
I assume you mean the hammer as she has no breasts or ass
My favorite kind of cake..
But actually why is its attack so low? Is it literally just because of the shitty signature? Youd think this cute little guy would be their go to shillmon like Mimikyu but instead they dumpstered it.
What level does it evolve at?
24->38
I really want to like it but there's something about its design that's really off putting. It's probably the mouth and hands. They just look weird
the five fingers was a mistake
No one ever complained about Machamp having five fingers, two toes, and big lips.
I complain about Machamps lips all the time
I like this things muppet mouth, though
>They removed my Clefable
>But they gave me small pink goblin with giant hammer and Unga Bunga Jigglypuff
She quickly became one of my top favorite Pokemon that's for sure, I'm going to make her work, I think she has the potential to become a sleeper like Clefable.
Anyone got a nice nickname for it or should I go with my idea of amy rose
I'm naming mine Poppy.
Funny because it's also the ace of Elite Four member Poppy.
I'd name it Piko. Short, punchy, and the name of Amy's Hammer.
Tinkaton chest... Tinkaton chest and belly... erotic... hammer brat...!!!
Uoohhh!!!!! Tinkaton erotic!
Damn bratty Tinkaton
She needs Tera-Raid correction
>drew 4 fingers on one hand
>5 on the other
She needed the extra grip for her hammer.
She should have 5 on both
haha die you little fairy b***h
Cringe
this, poison ,ground and fire moves are the best option
even revavroom is immune to these types.
Fairy/Steel is immune to poison
yes
I'm going to love her and pet her and hug her and squeeze her and call her Forge!
Underrated nickname.
Just noticed it's first form's "hammer" is a steel rattle. So cute
So what's going on with the middle stage, does it just have two mouths?
>Tinkatink is sad and frowns cause of the bullies
>Tinkatuff is angry and gritting teeth, because she is so mad at the bullies
>Tinkaton is happy and smiles, because she beat the bullies
Tinkatuff has a single mouth, lips are just designed to resemble clenching teeth. Odd that the evo line aren’t drawn with normal teeth though
>that fat tummy on Tinkaton
Finally Game Freak made a Pokemon for true gamers
assault vest gigaton hammer could be at least decent
she deserved a better ATK stat...
>should've had good stats
>should've been fairy/fighting
>should've had good stats
>should've had steelworker
>should've had good stats
>should've changed its body not its weapon in shiny mode
>should've had good stats
>should've had huge power
>should've had good stats
>should've had a skill super effective to steel types, not resisted by them
>should've had good stats
I WANT to love it, but there's just too much wrong with it jesus christ.
Hey, it could've been worse, she could've been Parasect..
What's so bad about parasect?
Shitmons are great for humour like Dudunsparce, or for NFE forms, but not for actually playing with for long.
In Tinkaton's case, it's only because it LOOKS like it's strong. I don't care if Tangrowth is garbage, I love him. But he doesn't LOOK like he's meant to be strong. This thing has a massive frick you hammer, preys on Corviknight and steel types, and overall is a little shit. It should have huge power, or steelworker, and its signature attack should've been suepreffective to steels- or to Corviknight's typing, at a bare MINIMUM to fit the theme.
Without that, it doesn't fit its own theme, and THAT'S what I hate about it.
>Parasect
It has decent stats, but it's extremely slow and has a bunch of weakness:
Flying 4×
Poison 2×
Rock 2×
Bug 2×
Fire 4×
Ice 2×
If it wasn't so slow, it'll actually be decent, and it makes me sad cause it's one of my favorite mons.
While Tinkaton also has decent stats and a high damage signature move, but it's quite fast with 94 speed and it barely have any weaknesses:
Ground 2×
Fire 2×
What hinders a Pokémon from being useful stats and weakness, you don't want your Pokemon to die on the first turn because of its speed and its many weaknesses.
*is it
Most of my favs are "shitmons".
If you base your love for Pokemon on how they fare at comphomosexualry, you don't really love any Pokemon, and you just love numbers.
My heart shattered when I saw it's abilities after the stats.
>Thought Huge Power was 100% guaranteed because of it's gimmick being a reference to the moon rabbit myth + mediocre attack but LOL NOPE
Its hurts so much bros....
>should've had steelworker
Fricking this. Or Steely Spirit. Or anything else.
steelworker is a copout. they couldn't just commit to the conceit that dhelmise is possessed seaweed and just make anchor shot 120 damage with 90 accuracy. it's bad design is what i'm saying
Huh, steelworker would have actually been pretty great on it and more interesting than huge power, specially if it kept the fairy/steel typing, because double STAB on gigaton hammer would be the only way it'd reach dracovish-tier moronation with her 75 base attack. It 2HKOs physically defensive tangrowth and deals roughly 95% to excadrill, to give an idea.
Highly dislike this style of design. But twitter will love it, so you'll get a lot of art of your fav mon
I'm personally a fan of shitmons, they make pokemon feel less like battle robots and more like creatures who exist for their own reasons
every pokemon being optimized is boring
Every Pokémon can’t be Cinderace, but it’s still frustrating when a Pokémon you like is functionally worthless, or just a suboptional “great value” version of a another Pokémon. Especially when most of the gameplay is battles, most rewards are just tools for battling, and most of the post game is the PvP.
Not helping is that TPC markets the PvP aspect more and more making it hard to ignore that a favorite just isn’t cut out for it. Even more annoying when a Pokémon you like is a shitmon while similar Pokémon are given everything they want implying that Game Freak is keeping your favorite down out of malice.
Though tbh, Tinkaton isn’t even that bad, just give it a bit more attack, it’s concept is Unga Bunga Hammer Smash! so let it do that. Heck, leave its stats the same but give it an ability that heals extra damage to steel types so it can at least attempt BTFO out Corviknight like the dex says.
>Though tbh, Tinkaton isn’t even that bad, just give it a bit more attack, it’s concept is Unga Bunga Hammer Smash! so let it do that.
Concept is that it's a cute creature not built entirely around attacking, but it can pull out a strong attack as a wildcard option and you have to guess when your opponent will use it.
>Heck, leave its stats the same but give it an ability that heals extra damage to steel types so it can at least attempt BTFO out Corviknight like the dex says.
This would help though.
>Every Pokémon can’t be Cinderace, but it’s still frustrating when a Pokémon you like is functionally worthless, or just a suboptional “great value” version of a another Pokémon.
This. I feel so fricking bad to be a Spidops fan.
>Fully evolved
>404 BST
JUST
It's OK just wait 10-25 years and it'll get an evo.
there's some unfortunate pokemon this gen but I think this poor thing is the most unfortunate of like the last 3 gens
what the frick were they thinking
400 BST is par for the course for early game bugs, but I'm afraid to ask, how are its stats disturbed .
Very Badly..
60 79 92 52 86 35 404
Probably just told the guy it was a fairy with hammer and that was all they gave him to run on.
Hold on, wait a minute...

is there a picture of it with an open mouth?
pumpkinface blowjobs
>doesn't have steelworker
>doesn't have huge power
It's shit senpai
>A literal Metalsmith mon doesn't even get Steelworker
It would even justify the mediocre attack and it's signature move having a drawback by having double STAB multiplier before using a Steel tera type. What an objective mess.
It would be good if it weren't SHIT
I still have hope. There must be reason ast to why they made such an eloberate lore against just Corviknights but other steel types too. I'm thinking some strong fire type moves, or a fire type ability, because it can apparently smith.
Our only hope is 1.0.2
>1.0.2
Is there a 1.0.2? Do we know the details?
She should have gotten bulk up and gigaton hammer should have removed flying type like knock down.
>last respects gains extra 50BP for every dead ally (it starts at 50); the ghost dog and hisui-basculin lines get it
>rage fist works the same but for each time you get hit instead (resets on switch); primeape and annihilape get it
huh
>50BP for every dead ally (it starts at 50)
300 BP when the user is the last mon standing? and they gave it to adaptability basculegion that can run scarf? are you fricking serious?
only if you're doing a full 6v6.
though even in official format you're most likely looking at 150BP ghost physical move.
with 10PP and 100% accuracy.
for reference ghost barely gets any three digit PB moves (poltergeist is the only one that isn't exclusive to legendary and it still has the whole "works only if target holds an item" gimmick)
with this one you hit 100BP as long as you have anything dead on your team and it only gets better from there.
Naming mine Eustace
also drawfriends, you know what to do.
It was too good to pass up drawing this
Now do a companion for this.
Ultra-instinct effect if you wish.
There's more monkey's paw in this mon than the entire primeape family line
Not sure how I feel about it. It's an unnatural looking little goblin that looks AI generated, but on the other hand the idea of a little pink thing with a massive fricking hammer is endearing. I'm using it all the same
If Gigaton Hammer had no drawbacks, this mon would be unique and powerful in the middle tiers without being OP. Gigaton Hammer does big neutral and super-effective damage, but its Attack stat isn't high enough to really do much outside of that. It would never be that threatening because of how predictable it is. There are many steel resists that could switch in and shut it down. But it also has a great defensive typing and decent defensive stats that can allow it to switch in regularly, enough of a support movepool where it could play around its checks. It would fill a specific niche that really no other mon in the game does.
The lack of any coverage for Steel types would've kept this from being broken even with 100 Atk AND continuous Gigaton hammer. To make it broken you'd have it hit 130 no drawbacks or 160 drawbacks
I think it's actually the opposite of what it tries to be.
It is, in fact, with its defensive typing and stats, a sword dance setup user that only has one big swing attack- after setup, it nukes everything that doesn't resist steel.
It's actually hated on by anything that DOES resist steel.
I made this in case someone wanted to draw the munchkin.
chubby belly uoh
Underrated aspect
Shouldn't Tinkatink be a baby, because she looks just like a toddler? Imagine someone decides to breed her, it'll be just as bad as Pedo Nidoking breeding with Nidoran..Oh no..there's a Hairy Goblin Man in the Fairy egg group..
Do you think she will be really popular when the game releases?
Not if she's completely shit she won't
What are the odds they decide to do more balance patches like the 1.01 patch in the future and buff it enough for it to be usable outside using Gigaton Hammer once and then being dead weight?
0.000000000000000000000000000001%
Sure, but have patches ever changed stats and learnsets before? The SV 1.01 patch seems to be a first.
>75 attack
Does it at least have prankster
Pickpocket
I think we all should mail nintendo complaining about it
They should have made a hammer version of iron fist
I agreed, they could've called it Blunt Force and make it power up smashing skills like Ice Hammer(One of Her Egg Moves btw), Dragon Hammer, Hammer Arm, Meteor Mash etc.
Whoever did her abilities and stats obviously was high or had a vendetta against her for some reason. I don't know someone will ever think pickpocket will be a good hidden ability, they also could've place it on her pre-evos and it changes into a different ability on Tinkaton.
I don't know any Pokemon that carries a Giant Weapon to have low attack, it's quite clear Tinkaton has superhuman strength similar to Fighter types, yet they gave her low attack for no reason.
Addition:
If they didn't want to give her high attack, then they could've given her high defenses cause of being part steel, yet they just made all her stats except Special Defense in the middle of the road like she some on stage evolution Normal type.
Pawmot has better stats distribution than Tinkaton and that thing has only 490 BST compared to Tinkaton's 506 BST, they even gave it Iron Fist..
I didn't like it when I first saw it but it's growing on me
not reading the thread and not to be a contrarian, but I think it tops out at a 7/10. It’s a great mon put pic related does the concept better
This Kirby enemy sucks and you morons keep sucking it's wiener, it's honestly unbelievable.
Girls don't have wieners, anon..
These were Hattroony gays that were hoping for another ultra fairy waifumon but now its revealed to be a muppet piece of shit shitmon so the copium is being layered on extra thick this round
>Hattrany
she is 100% Female tho
Calling a 100% female Pokemon a troony..
Do you call your own Mom a troony, Anon?
This is why you can't get a girlfriend; you're shouting YNBAW at actual Women.. XD
I really want to like it but the Stat and Ability is such a turn off
wtf were they thinking?
I like it's fat belly
CBT goblin
Can only hope for a balance patch or dlc adds a new hammer item for her. I doubt either of those happen, but I just want to see the supposed giant hammer mon actually smash shit with its big ass weapon.
Best new Pokemon
Is this some homosexual league thing?
Yes. Leaguegays think they invented everything.
why is it so ugly
Do you guys think Adamant Nature will be good on Tinkaton?
Anything to increase that god awful attack stat
>Huge hammer
>Actually it's a hazard and knock off support with low attack
I get the feeling somebody didn't see the mon they were statting
I like the concept but I am still seething over its shit Attack stat
This seems like an easy knockout fan favorite but they made it really crappy for what you'd expect of it.
>It may actually already be in my top 10-15 Pokémon.
That's how I feel about Kingambit
>They made Kanetsugu Naoe in Pokemon form
