Done [OU] Tinkaton

[Marnie]

Tinkaton @ Air Balloon
Ability: Pickpocket / Mold Breaker
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 24 SpD / 232 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Gigaton Hammer
- Encore
- Thunder Wave / Knock Off

While Tinkaton has made a name for itself in OU for quite some time now, its rise in the most recent tier shifts has finally validated it as a proper mainstay of the tier. It's adept at checking dangerous foes like Darkrai, Weavile, and, with Air Balloon intact, even Kyurem and Enamorus. On top of providing the all-important Stealth Rock, it irritates the opposition further with its disruptive tools in Encore, Thunder Wave, and Knock Off; setup sweepers like Raging Bolt and Kingambit, entry hazard control like Corviknight and Cinderace, and walls like Moltres, Zapdos, and Ting-Lu are among the ones that get severely hindered by them. Tinkaton's choice of ability cranks its level of annoyance even further: Pickpocket particularly improves its matchup in balance mirrors by punishing attacks from Heavy-Duty Boots users like Dragapult, Hisuian Samurott, and Weavile, which can be extremely hard to chip down otherwise, while Mold Breaker lets it cripple Gholdengo, Garganacl, and Hatterene, even setting Stealth Rock freely in the face of the latter. Tera Ghost lets it spinblock Great Tusk and Iron Treads while serving as an emergency check to Zamazenta in conjunction with Encore.

While Tinkaton has made a name for itself in OU for quite sometime now, its rise in the most recent tier shifts has finally validated it as a proper mainstay of the tier. A remarkable defensive profile makes it adept at handling dangerous foes like Darkrai, Weavile, and, with Air Balloon intact, even Kyurem and Enamorus tinkaton also takes advantage of pecharunt to be annoying which is often nice, not neccesary if theres not enough characters to fit.. On top of providing the all-important Stealth Rock, it can disrupt the opposition further with its valuable support tools in Encore, Thunder Wave, and Knock Off; setup sweepers like Raging Bolt and Kingambit, entry hazard control like Corviknight and Cinderace id change this to switch-ins, because cinderace isnt one of the high priority targets for twave., and walls like Moltres, Zapdos, and Ting-Lu are among the faimiliarfamiliar faces that get hindered by them. Its ability of choice cranks its level of annoyance even further; Pickpocket particularly improves its matchup in the balance mirrors against Heavy-Duty Boots users like Dragapult, Hisuian Samurott, and Weavile, which can be extremely hard to chip down otherwise, while Mold Breaker lets it cripple Gholdengo and set Stealth Rock in the face of Hatterene freely could mention twaving garg and encoring / twaving hatt, hatt rn is just rocks and no garg mention. Tera Ghost gives it the ability to spinblock Great Tusk and Iron Treads while emergency checking Zamazenta and walling Extreme Speed + Dragonite mention encore locks for zama and dnite, add ice spinner/eq or smth for dnite because espeed+dnite doesnt make sense..

Its ability Tinkaton's choice of choice ability cranks its level of annoyance even further (RSC): colon Pickpocket particularly improves its matchup in the balance mirrors by punishing attacks from Heavy-Duty Boots users like Dragapult, Hisuian Samurott, and Weavile, which can be extremely hard to chip down otherwise, while Mold Breaker lets it cripple Gholdengo, Garganacl, and Hatterene, even setting Stealth Rock freely in the face of the latter.
