Basic Attack

As the user grows, both the size of its hammer and the reach of its standard attacks expand. After a certain period, the subsequent standard attack turns into a powerful one, causing more damage and replenishing the user’s health. If the user gets hit by a standard attack from an enemy Pokemon, the cooldown for this powerful attack shortens.

Passive: Mold Breaker

This Pokemon inflicts extra damage on enemies’ Pokemon that have a defensive shield. Each time it strikes an opponent’s Pokemon from the opposing team with moves or enhanced basic attacks, its hammer gains strength and its attack power grows (up to 60 times the maximum). Additionally, once the hammer is fortified at levels of 20, 40, and 60 times, Rock Smash, Gigaton Hammer, and Smackdown become more powerful.

Ability 1 – Fairy Wind

If the user summons a breeze like a fairy, it moves as directed, causing harm and reducing the speed of enemy Pokémon it encounters.

Ability Choices at Level 5

Upon reaching Level 5, Tinkaton can select either of the following two moves:

Ice HammerThief
Has the user leap in the designated direction and swing down its freezing hammer, dealing damage, applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect, and decreasing their Attack and Sp. Atk for a short time.Increases the user’s movement speed for a short time. When the user is moving toward an opposing Pokemon affected by hindrances, its movement speed is further increased.

Also, when the user deals damage to opposing Pokemon with its next basic attack, the user steals and uses a portion of the Pokemon’s Defense and Sp. Def for a short time.

Upgrade: Further decreases Attack and Sp. AtkUpgrade: Increase the amount of Defense and Sp. Def the user steals.

Ability 2 – Rock Smash

Ability Choices at Level 7

At Level 7, either of these two moves becomes available:

Gigaton HammerSmackdown
Has the user charge power before swinging down its hammer, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect, and throwing them.

The longer power is charged, the more damage this move deals, and the longer opposing Pokemon are thrown. The stronger the hammer, the larger this move’s area of effect.

Has the user charge power, then use its hammer to send a rock flying to the designated location, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon at the rock’s point of impact and applying a slowing effect to them.

The longer power is charged, the farther the rock can fly. The stronger the hammer, the farther the rock can fly.

Pokémon Unite Tinkaton Guide: Gameplay Tips

In this guide for Pokémon Unite, we’ll walk you through effective strategies for mastering Tinkaton and excelling in matches throughout the game. This breakdown is divided into two key phases: the early and late game. Make sure to give both sections a thorough read until the end to get the most out of your Tinkaton experience!

Early Game

Tinkaton is a versatile Pokémon role that gains strength with each battle, making it particularly potent. For optimal results, deploy Tinkaton in the Top or Jungle Lane, where it can accumulate, harvest resources, and grow stronger as it attacks adversaries. Initially, prioritize learning Rock Smash, since it boasts a higher base damage and better control, facilitating the efficient farming of apioms and leveling up.

To advance, you’ll gain access to a skill called “Fairy Wind,” which can be used to slow opponents and inflict damage from afar. When employing Tinkaton, it would be wise to target either stray Pokémon or enemy Pokémon for maximum effect. Utilizing Mold Breaker during this process will enhance Tinkaton’s abilities as they progress, expanding the attack range and intensifying the overall damage output of its skills.

As a versatile Pokémon player, I make sure to gather resources and swap positions to boost my attacker allies’ strength. During these swaps between lanes, I always keep an eye on the opposing team’s support, tagging them as Tinkaton can deal more damage to them. With every fight, Tinkaton becomes stronger, but its real advantage lies in the fact that it can be quite irritating for the enemy due to its evolved abilities that lower their Special Attack and Special Defense stats.

Upon reaching level 5, you’ll have the opportunity to select between two potent abilities: “Ice Hammer” and “Thief”. Both abilities are effective in decreasing an enemy’s special defense or special attack. Each ability is powerful in its unique way, and your choice will depend on the composition of your enemies. Your decision on the ability will also influence the type of combination you’ll use with Tinkaton, with some possible combinations being:

  • Ice Hammer + Gigaton Hammer
  • Thief + Smack Down

Late Game

At Level 7, Tinkaton undergoes evolution and can pick an ability that complements its Level 5 choice particularly well. This selection will allow you to effectively accumulate Tinkaton’s passive abilities and achieve significant goals for your team more efficiently.

When you activate Tinkaton’s “Sure-hit Unite” skill in crucial team battles, it temporarily immobilizes opponents, providing you and your teammate with an advantage. Reusing the Unite skill causes Tinkaton to pound the ground, dealing increased damage to nearby enemies, transforming this ability into a potent and irritating option during team fights.

To maximize Tinkaton’s potential in teamfights, it’s advisable to save the Unite move for critical battles against Pokémon like Rayquaza or Zapdos. In essence, prioritize farming and leveling up, while using your disabling or controlling abilities to target key enemy Attacker-type Pokémon. This will make it easier for your team to eliminate them, giving you an advantage. Don’t forget to collaborate with your teammates on scoring goals, defending objectives, and you’ll find success with Tinkaton.

Positioning of Tinkaton

The best path for Tinkaton is the Top/Jungle Lane. Early on, Tinkaton should focus on leveling up, stacking its passive, and rotating across lanes to help allied attackers score and accumulate points for the team.

Tinkaton with other Pokémon

Best synergies with Tinkaton

Tinkaton functions primarily as a versatile Pokémon, specializing in rotations to bolster allies and gain an advantage on the battlefield by employing its crowd-control and disabling abilities. However, due to its passive trait, Tinkaton can be vulnerable against swift enemies that are capable of inflicting high burst damage.
