No. 959: Tinkaton

Lil' Miss Trouble

 

When I caught a Tinkatink, and evolved it into Tinkatuff, and looked at the space in the Pokedex to see there was a third form, I immediately predicted its name would be Tinkaton and I was not let down.

Tiny girls with big hammers are scientifically proven to be awesome, it's as simple as that. I love how ridiculously huge the hammer is, and I like the design of it this time, too! It's neat how the core of it is still the rattle from when it was a baby.

In fact, I appreciate how the design aspects grew with each stage of this line: the hair goes from a tiny tuft, to a ponytail, to twintails. Tinkatuff adds metal flanges at the hip, and now Tinkaton has 4 of them. The teeth grow over time, too. It's just really pleasing consistency.

And again, it cannot be stated enough, Tinkaton rocks. I think it's awesome that it knocks Corviknights down out of the sky. Gigaton Hammer is a based move. And her pose when sleeping is adorable.


Overall: 10/10

  1. an expected but welcome 10/10 to the table. everyone loves this mon. Tinkaton Is the generational poster child this time around, next to the twin knights. It's not a surprise she's In Unite

    think I saw It on reddit or something, someone had said that they love how everyone has their own "girl with a hammer" character that they associate Tinkaton with

    I'm fond of general weaponry ( I love hammers but rate them slightly below big claymores and axes ), so It's cool to see an epic bulky weapon design In pokemon. I'd play her, In a monster hunter game

  2. I love the fact that her hammer is made of dead Corviknights
