In-Depth Analysis
Tinkaton totals 506 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Special Defense (105) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Attack (70).
Defensively, the Fairy, Steel combination gives Tinkaton 9 resistances, 2 immunities, and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 6 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Tinkaton a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
