Its story
Lifestyle
Intelligent and reckless, it swings a huge hammer and knocks rocks at flying Corviknight. It evolves from Tinkatuff once that hammer is forged, and leads Tinkatink.
In the anime
Dot's Tinkaton appears after her Tinkatuff evolves against Coral's Glalie. Her hammer is built from an old pink microphone and pink scraps.
Name origin
Megumi Mizutani designed it: its size and attacks on taxi Corviknight recall smithing dwarfs and gremlins. Tinkaton may blend tinker, a traveling tinsmith, with ton or gigaton.
