[SET COMMENTS]

Tinkaton is a solid Pokemon in UU thanks to its amazing typing, good bulk, and coveted utility movepool. It’s a good Stealth Rock setter due to its typing letting it set up on Tyranitar, Grafaiai, and Scream Tail. Knock Off removes crucial items such as Talonflame's Heavy-Duty Boots and Bisharp's Eviolite. Encore shuts down setup sweepers such as Quiver Dance Oricorio-E and can lock Quagsire and Gastrodon into Toxic, Ice Beam, and Recover. Thunder Wave can catch Talonflame attempting to switch into it to clear Stealth Rock, but Encore is more consistent overall. Mold Breaker lets Tinkaton ignore Mimikyu's Disguise, letting it force progress on offensive teams. Tera Dark allows Tinkaton to better check Gengar while giving Knock Off a boost. Tera Ghost turns Tinkaton into an emergency check to Slither Wing and Lucario while also spinblocking against Tatsugiri. However, it's not recommended to use since it makes it weak to Pokemon that it is supposed to check such as Gengar and Tyranitar.

Utility Tinkaton fits on every single playstyle except hyper offense thanks to its good typing and movepool. Spikes users like Quagsire and Gastrodon can form entry hazard stack cores with Tinkaton while also handling Pawmot, Quaquaval, Scizor, and non-Tera Grass Sandy Shocks. Quagsire is able to spread Toxic against hazard removers such as Defog Talonflame and Donphan, while Tinkaton can use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers from Salamence and Wo-Chien to wear down foes further. Gengar is a fantastic partner, since Tinkaton is able to handle opposing Gengar and Grafaiai for it and remove Gastrodon's Heavy-Duty Boots. This helps Gengar break down Gastrodon more easily without having to use Energy Ball. Hippowdon appreciates Tinkaton running Stealth Rock and checking Decideueye, allowing it to run both Stone Edge and Roar. In return, it checks Pokemon that take advantage of Tinkaton, such as Sandy Shocks and Iron Jugulis.

[SET COMMENTS]

Tinkaton is one of the best Pokemon in UU thanks to its amazing typing, good bulk, and coveted utility movepool. Tinkaton is a good Stealth Rock setter due to its great matchup against entry hazard removal such as Tsareena. this is the only one you match up well against, others kinda sit on you for days or threaten you hard. i would probably lean towards its typing giving it opportunities to set rocks against whatever u an think of. mons like grafaiai and slowking come to mind but u can probs find better examples. Knock Off removes crucial items such as Talonflame's Heavy-Duty Boots and Bisharp's Eviolite. Encore shuts down set up sweepers such as Quiver Dance Oricorio-G and can lock Gastrodon and Quagsire into wasting their recovery. Thunder Wave can catch Talonflame attempting to switch into it to clear Stealth Rock, give examples of other mons u cripple here too but Encore is more consistent overall. Mold Breaker ignores Gastrodon's Sticky Hold and Mimikyu's Disguise. which lets it do what? 84 Attack EVs lets Tinkaton OHKO Gengar after Stealth Rock damage. The rest of the EVs are dumped into HP and Special Defense to take on Gengar and Noivern. Tera Ghost turns Tinkaton into an emergency check to Slither Wing and Lucario, while also spinblocking against Donphan, tatsu might be a more relevant mention because eq is still so ridiculously strong against it but it's not recommended to use since it makes it weak to Pokemon that it is supposed to check such as Gengar and Tyranitar.

Utility Tinkaton fits on every single playstyle except hyper offense due to its amazing movepool being useful in every game. Spikes users like Quagsire and Gastrodon can form entry hazard stack cores while also handling Pawmot, Bisharp, and non-Tera Grass Sandy Shocks. The former is able to spread Toxic against entry hazard setters such as such as? while Tinkaton can use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers to wear down foes further. Gengar is a fantastic partner since Tinkaton is able to handle opposing Gengar and Tyranitar while removing Gastrodon's Heavy-Duty Boots to break it down much easier without having to use Energy Ball.

+ i would mention mons that take advantage of tinkaton like rotom-mow and donphan (doesnt have to be those exact two, but just what came to my mind) and list ways to deal with them

Tinkaton is one of the best Pokemon in UU thanks to its amazing typing, good bulk, and coveted utility movepool. Tinkaton is a good Stealth Rock setter due to its typing letting it set up on i would remove the ttar part since almost every ttar set runs eq, maybe swap it for scream tail Tyranitar, Grafaiai, and Slowking. Knock Off removes crucial items such as Talonflame's Heavy-Duty Boots and Bisharp's Eviolite. Encore shuts down set up sweepers such as Quiver Dance Oricorio-G and can lock Gastrodon and Quagsire into wasting their recovery. Thunder Wave can catch Talonflame attempting to switch into it to clear Stealth Rock, but Encore is more maybe mention how you can encore them into rocks/pivot in on toxic or ice beam and encore them in consistent overall. Mold Breaker ignores Gastrodon's Sticky Hold and Mimikyu's Disguise, letting it force progress on both balance and offensive teams. 84 Attack EVs lets Tinkaton OHKO Gengar after Stealth Rock damage. The rest of the EVs are dumped into HP and Special Defense to take on Gengar and Noivern. Tera Ghost turns Tinkaton into an emergency check to Slither Wing and Lucario, while also spinblocking against Tatsugiri, but it's not recommended to use since it makes it weak to Pokemon that it is supposed to check such as Gengar and Tyranitar. tera ghost is bad please can we change the set :< would also reccomend running atleast 4 speed

Utility Tinkaton fits on every single playstyle except hyper offense due to its amazing movepool traits > movepool being useful in every game. Spikes users like Quagsire and Gastrodon can form entry hazard stack cores with tinkaton while also handling Pawmot, Bisharp, and non-Tera Grass Sandy Shocks. The former is able to spread Toxic against entry hazard removal such as Tsareena and Donphan, while Tinkaton can use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers to wear down foes further. Gengar is a fantastic partner since Tinkaton is able to handle opposing Gengar and Tyranitar it doesnt really handle ttar defensively, maybe say threaten instead of handle/mention grafaiai instead while removing Gastrodon's Heavy-Duty Boots to break it down much easier without having to use Energy Ball. Tinkaton can be taken advantage of by Pokemon such as Paldean Tauros-F and Pawmot. As such, Slowking and Hippowdon help it out.

i think the set itself has flaws, i would run this one instead lol

Tinkaton is one of the best Pokemon in UU thanks to its amazing typing, good bulk, and coveted utility movepool. Tinkaton is a good Stealth Rock setter due to its typing letting it set up on i would remove the ttar part since almost every ttar set runs eq, maybe swap it for scream tail i'm fine with this personally since you always forced it out with Gigaton Hammer and it doens't actually suggest switching in here. Tyranitar, Grafaiai, and Slowking. Knock Off removes crucial items such as Talonflame's Heavy-Duty Boots and Bisharp's Eviolite. Encore shuts down set up sweepers such as Quiver Dance Oricorio-G and can lock Gastrodon and Quagsire into wasting their recovery. Thunder Wave can catch Talonflame attempting to switch into it to clear Stealth Rock, but Encore is more maybe mention how you can encore them into rocks/pivot in on toxic or ice beam and encore them in (good change, though put it in the previous sentence) consistent overall. Mold Breaker ignores Gastrodon's Sticky Hold and Mimikyu's Disguise, letting it force progress on both balance and offensive teams. 84 Attack EVs lets Tinkaton OHKO Gengar after Stealth Rock damage. The rest of the EVs are dumped into HP and Special Defense to take on Gengar and Noivern. Bring up using Tera Dark to give an emergency resistance to Gengar and powering up Knock Off, but mention how its also not something you ever want to Tera in a match. Tera Ghost turns Tinkaton into an emergency check to Slither Wing and Lucario, while also spinblocking against Tatsugiri, but it's not recommended to use since it makes it weak to Pokemon that it is supposed to check such as Gengar and Tyranitar. tera ghost is bad please can we change the set :< would also reccomend running atleast 4 speed (already mentioned on discord that we don't do speed creep in analyses so this is fine to keep ).

Utility Tinkaton fits on every single playstyle except hyper offense due to its amazing movepool traits > movepool yep agree with this but would just mention both the defensive traits and movepool here being useful in every game. Spikes users like Quagsire and Gastrodon can form entry hazard stack cores with tinkaton while also handling Pawmot, Bisharp, and non-Tera Grass Sandy Shocks. Worth mentioning that they can pressure (Defog) Talonflame too. The former is able to spread Toxic against entry hazard removal such as Tsareena and Donphan, while Tinkaton can use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots give a couple of examples of the targets for this like Gastrodon and Slowking and Leftovers to wear down foes further. Gengar is a fantastic partner since Tinkaton is able to handle opposing Gengar and Tyranitar it doesnt really handle ttar defensively, maybe say threaten instead of handle/mention grafaiai instead yea agree with this on mentioning Grafaiai here while removing Gastrodon's Heavy-Duty Boots to break it down much easier without having to use Energy Ball. Tinkaton can be taken advantage of by Pokemon such as Paldean Tauros-F and Pawmot. As such, Slowking and Hippowdon help it out. Arguably i would rather run a different Tinkaton set to the utility one if doing Hippo alongside, like getting to play SD, could bring up brambleghast instead perhaps and mention how it also forms spikestacking cores and checks sandy shocks too.

Tinkaton is a solid Pokemon in UU thanks to its amazing typing, good bulk, and coveted utility movepool. Tinkaton is It's a good Stealth Rock setter due to its typing, (AC) which lets letting it set up on entry hazards against Tyranitar, Grafaiai, and (and...?). Knock Off removes crucial items such as Talonflame's Heavy-Duty Boots and Bisharp's Eviolite. Encore shuts down setup (remove space) sweepers such as Quiver Dance Oricorio-E and can lock Quagsire and Gastrodon into Toxic, Ice Beam, and Recover. Thunder Wave can catch Talonflame attempting to switch into it to clear Stealth Rock, but Encore is more consistent overall. Mold Breaker lets Tinkaton ignore Mimikyu's Disguise, letting it force progress on offensive teams. Tera Dark allows Tinkaton to better check Gengar while giving Knock Off a boost. (this should be after Tera Ghost since that's the type on the set, and you should probably slash it on the set above if you're mentioning it) Tera Ghost turns Tinkaton into an emergency check to Slither Wing and Lucario, (RC) while also spinblocking against Tatsugiri. However, it's not recommended to use since it makes it weak to Pokemon that it is supposed to check such as Gengar and Tyranitar. (then why is this the main option over Dark? more of a QC followup if tier changes have affected this; if it's just that Tinkaton shouldn't be the one to use up Tera on most teams then maybe reword)

Utility Tinkaton fits on every single playstyle except hyper offense due thanks to its good typing and movepool being useful in every game.

(period) This helps Gengar to break it Gastrodon down much easier more easily without having to use Energy Ball. (i imagine? if not lmk/split the sentences in a way that makes sense) Hippowdon appreciates Tinkaton running Stealth Rock and checking Decideueye, meaning it is able allowing it to run both Stone Edge and Roar. (period), while in In return, (AC) it checks checking Pokemon that take advantage of Tinkaton, (AC) such as Sandy Shocks and Iron Jugulis.
