Tinkaton

Tinkaton sits at 0.16% usage in singles, ranked 144th, placing it firmly in the fringe tier. Its Fairy/Steel typing grants a rich resistance profile: Bug is resisted at 0.25x and Normal, Fire, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Rock, Dark, and Fairy at 0.5x, with full immunity to Poison and Dragon; Ground and Fire hit it for 2x. Mold Breaker is effectively universal at 99.9%, letting Gigaton Hammer punch through abilities. The move pool is led by Gigaton Hammer (23%), Encore (16.2%), Play Rough (15%), and Stealth Rock (13%), shaping it as a disruptive mid-speed answer that pressures bulky walls.

Playstyle：Gigaton Hammer leads the kit at 23% and, combined with Mold Breaker, breaks through most defensive answers. Encore at 16.2% shuts down opposing setup and utility moves, Play Rough at 15% covers Dark-type matchups, and Stealth Rock at 13% layers hazards. Life Orb at 46.5% is the dominant item, while Shuca Berry at 22.7% patches the Ground-type weakness and lets Tinkaton survive an Earthquake in select matchups. The leading spread, Jolly at 39.5%, preserves the 94 Speed tier, whereas Adamant at 15.4% boosts physical output at the cost of speed and requires more reads against fast cleaners.

In doubles, Tinkaton reaches 0.56% usage, ranked 89th, still firmly on the fringe. Its resistance profile remains a defining asset: 0.25x to Bug, 0.5x to most relevant attacking types, and full immunity to Poison and Dragon make it hard to remove in a single hit during crowded exchanges. Mold Breaker leads at 88.7%, while Own Tempo at 11.1% covers the Fake Out and Jaw Lock flinch axes. The move pool mirrors singles in spirit, with Fake Out (24.5%) and Gigaton Hammer (24.4%) running in parallel, Encore at 16.1% locking utility moves, and Protect at 12.8% providing standard doubles insurance.

Playstyle：Fake Out and Gigaton Hammer each hover around a quarter of usage, forming the core offensive-defensive axis: the former stalls leads or breaks opposing tempo, while the latter cracks defensive cores under Mold Breaker. Encore at 16.1% locks utility options, and Protect at 12.8% paired with moves like Knock Off fuels the doubles turn economy. Items lean on Shuca Berry at 30.9% to eat Ground-type hits, Leftovers at 22.5% for passive recovery, with Occa Berry (8.6%), Metal Coat (8.6%), and King's Rock (6.8%) addressing Fire-type damage, boosted hits, and flinch utility respectively.
