Build the best Tinkaton for Tera Raids in pokemon scarlet and violet. Learn how to teach it Gigaton Hammer, Play Rough, Swords Dance, and Ice Hammer.

Tinkatink can be found roaming around certain Ruins in Paldea, with a higher chance of encountering one near the ruins in South Province (Area Two). Tinkatink is weak to Fire and Ground Type Pokemon, taking 2x damage from them. To evolve Tinkatink into Tinkaton, you need to level it up to 38.

For those participating in five and six-star Tera Raids, Tinkaton can be found with random typings and elevated Individual Values. A Fairy Tera Typing is recommended to make the most of this build.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Gigaton Hammer: Tinkaton will learn Gigaton Hammer when it evolves from Tinkatuff.
  2. 2
    Play Rough: Teach Tinkaton Play Rough by leveling it up to Level 35.
  3. 3
    Swords Dance: Find the Swords Dance TM in the open-world, such as in Tagtree Thicket or West Province Area One.
  4. 4
    Ice Hammer: Tinkaton cannot learn Ice Hammer via leveling up or TM. Purchase a Mirror Herb for 30,000 Poke Dollars from the Delibird Presents Store in Cascarrafa City. Then, catch a Crabominable in East Province Area 2 that knows Ice Hammer.
  5. 5
    Learn Ice Hammer: Remove all Pokémon from your team except Tinkaton and Crabominable. Remove one attack from Tinkaton so it has an empty move slot. Participate in a picnic, and Tinkaton should automatically learn Ice Hammer.
