In-Depth Analysis
Tinkatuff's 380 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Special Defense (82) carries most matchups, but a low Special Attack stat of 45 means careful positioning matters.
Its Fairy, Steel typing leaves Tinkatuff with 2 weaknesses against 9 resistances and 2 full immunities. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 6 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 90 puts Tinkatuff in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
