I just finished Spanish 202 and our last subject was stories and fantasy, and I was like "Wait, isn't that just the Spanish word for goblin/elf?" Guess I was right.
i just use "duende" for elves for gnomes its mostly gnomo and for dwarfs its anões thats just portugal not sure how our neighbors across the boarder do it hol up slight oversight elves its elfo im a dumbass
How about a symbiotic relationship instead? It acts more like a jockey, with a Tinkatink riding a rookidee to the fully grown Tinkaton on a Corviknight. It could have a lance instead of a hammer too.
Tinkaton line might be most famous for going after Corviknights, but Tinkatuff's entry says they also battle it out with Pawniard and Bisharps too. Makes me think that it has rivalry with Kingambit and have fierce turf wars over metals and supplies.

Tinkaton definitely one of my new favourite Pokémon. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it on my team. So getting to hear about its influences was great.
Considering the nature of Area Zero and the fact that that’s the primary place you can naturally find Corviknight, plus the overall stature and proportions of the body and hands, I kind of get the impression that Made in Abyss was referenced in some capacity, if not directly then at least alluded to. In particular, Tinkaton’s design reminds me of Nanachi with the personality and the bunny ears and hair and all, and the entirety of Area Zero just kind of feels like the Abyss.
I love how started playing dubstep for seemingly no reason after saying “ *huge* blacksmith-Chan” I also got REALLY happy when I saw robin from iconoclasts It’s pretty underrated, and one of my favorite games
I freaking knew this would one of the first post game release Pokemon you would do and I'm not complaining in the slightest. Tinkaton is really a standout of the gen and probably my favourite Paldea mon. As a Kirby fan, I very much like the small pink things with tremendous power.
I honestly hope to see some fanart of Tinkaton with Monster Hunter weapons that are made up of different steel-type pokemon. Imagine one of those little gremlins wielding a Gunlance.
It gets a bit darker than that, too. If you look a shiny Corviknight, its metal is a proper silver color. Shiny Tinkaton's hammer on the other hand is much darker, even rustic. That might kill the connection, until you look at the color of tarnished silver.
I love this mon so much! When I saw it I was like "Squee! You are so cute! You are coming from me!" Though if I had known how big her hammer would get I would've named her Autumn's Dust. Instead of Autumn Dusk. XD
Im really glad you touched on how the rattle is still the core of the hammer along the evolutions. I don't see that detail talked about often. Love this video.
Tinkaton is a vital part of my friend-shaped team, right up there with Bellibolt and Clodsire, so I'm choosing to believe the Pinkerton connection is coincidental at best. In any case, wonderful to see this line get highlighted.
The trope of Little-Girl-Big-Hammer could also be applied to Hilda Goneril of Fire Emblem Three Houses bit instead of a hammer she gets an axe and is a physical powerhouse in the game.
Tinkaton really struck a cord with me, and it's now one of my new favorite Pokémon, even my new favorite Steel-type. Getting to know the lore and inspirations around it definitely helped, too.
You really don’t miss! This is so filled with incredible information it’s mind blowing and really helps us appreciate your hard work and the design creators! Even the “Pinkertons” was not a stretch especially considering even the shiny form stays true to the name and remains pink
Fun fact: talonflames Pokédex entry says it can Carry prey up to 220 pounds, the same Weight as tinkatons hammer. So it get revenge for tinkaton killing it corvinignt brother, I like to believe.
Coincidentally, I nicknamed my Tinkaton after League's character. Then, during elite 4, I was caught off guard as the 2nd trainer was also named Poppy (in german version) AND threw out Tinkaton.
I actually named mine after a JoJo stand. All of my powerful ones are. My tink is called Spicy Girl. Anihilape is Survivor Luxray is Chilli Pepper. I'm still looking for a Pokemon to call White Album. Great Tusk is Underworld. Slither Wing is Super Fly. Sandy Shocks is Metallica. And my Armarouge is Magicians Red
@@hemlock1881 Paisley Park? Is that from Steel Ball? I never got that manga. Might tho soon. But Survivor (anihilape) is my baby. And I love the history behind it. Btw. I named my Koraidon Planet Waves after the heart stand held by Westwood that could pull down meteorites from the sky.
Interesting fact: There are duende in the Philippines as well. Filipino duende live in mounds and like being given gifts. It’s also tradition to say Tabi Tabi Po while walking by natural mounds.
Most places "found" by Portugal and Spain normally have some similar tradicions Philipins were "found" by a Portuguese navigator so that does make sence .
It’s so cool you showed off Felicia from Magia Record at 2:17!! Thats who I renamed my Tinkaton after when I couldn’t decide on a name for her when she was a Tinkatink >w
What's interesting to me is that it seems to be implied by the "daring disposition" that the tinka line's engagements with pokémon like corviknight aren't guaranteed to be successful, but frequent enough to make corviknight want to avoid the area.
Tinkaton's shiny is actually perfect! People hate it because it's body doesn't change but think about it! She's using shiny corviknight to make its shiny hammer! SHE'S A SHINY HUNTER!
@@post-ironicgarbageig2345 Ah, I see. Though I do think it should have a few darker smudged areas/a slightly different texture on the hammer. They did change textures for shiny magikarp and the dung beetle [I dont remember his name]
I also like to think Gigaton Hammer hits every other turn because it’s referencing making mochi. One person hits the mochi while another folds it for the next strike. And with the pigtails, it even looks like a rabbit making mochi!
Aww, man, I liked Tinkaton. She's a good girl and basically the Hatterene of this generation. I love the kawaii immature doof adults who try to defy Christmas cakeification with chaos and sweetness. And also, down with Pinkerton and Baldwin-Felts! Down with the blacklegs and scabs! Which side are you on?
There is an episode of Looney Tunes describing a lot of these tropes quite well. It's called "Falling Hare" and is one of the few times Bugs is the victim. And it's at the hands of an airplane Gremlin. And wouldn't you know it... in the episode, he has a GIANT HAMMER. It's a great example of the tropes put together. You can see it on RUclips, just search for Falling Hare.
Wow, what deep inspiration and here I thought that Tinkaton was just Poppy from the Trolls movie mixed with traits of actual trolls… I just thought this because so many Paldean Pokémon seem to be based on characters from various pop-culture medias (ex: video games, comic books, children’s books, animated movies, anime, etc.).
Y’know if tinkaton ever gets introduced to galar that Pokémon species would be considered as an invasive species since galar relies on corviknight taxi
When I read corviknights dex entry and it said it can't be used for taxi service cause of predators, and tinkatons dex entry said it hunted corviknight I took it literally and thought that tinkaton eats corviknight... Looking back it really makes no sense but it's still funny though
Well, I'd assume that Corviknight has squishy insides underneath all its metal feathers. Not too far-fetched of an idea to say that the prey they use for materials for their hammers is also the prey they use for food.
I didn't expect Lockstin to talk about the "Martxoak 3 / 3 de Marzo / 3rd of March" incident in Spain, I live next to the church were everything happened and my grandmother was able to view everything from our balcony. It was a slaughter from which "luckily" only 5 people died, while having 150+ wounded, in a country where usage of fire arms was pretty rare. Tensions were pretty high, the incident took place in a city of the Basque Country which had our Basque culture stripped from while the dictatorship of Franco. Civilians were already tense with the government and factory owners were pushing workers way to hard. The workers organized a formal strike barricading inside a church and the police abused a loophole in the law about the property of the church and being an occupation of a private, government owned place. The higher ups ordered policemen to open fire but even common policemen knew it was a masacre so most aimed to wound and not to kill, even when they were ordered to shoot to kill. The injuries registered (around 150) are only about gunfire injuries, many people who even weren't part of the strike were brutally beaten up by policemen who didn't want to use their gun. A friend's grandfather lost his leg due to a beat down, and if you ask around many people have some anecdote about that day. It's an event which still has marked the history of the city until this day, but through violence and blood we now can live with worker rights. To this day there's an association and many political rallies are held on March 3rd, to commemorate and ask for fairer treatment of workers
I'm so glad to learn all of this stuff; I presumed the Tinkaton line was based more around Hephaestus as the ruins they are around also have Bronzor/Bronzing and Falinks, and kind of made a bigger nod towards Rome/ Greece.
The Duende is also pretty common in Philippine folklore/mythology, also associated with trickery. And yes, Philippines was a Spanish colony for 333 years.
Gigaton Hammer is the most satisfying Pokémon movie I’ve ever seen (besides oblivion wing) something about running around bonking things with a stab boosted terra boosted base 160 power hydraulic press, that fills me with pure happiness
Bonus points in Spanish lore: There was a report from an helicopter being taken down after a man who thought the engine was too loud and flying too low take the vehicle down with a stone which got stuck in the tail rotor. The case was never closed since it was the words of one man against the other's thus the myth of the spanish man taking a helicopter down with a stone being why Tinkaton takes the Corviknights down with a stone - given how Corvs are like the helicopters of human transport.
7:48 I realized that pretty quick and its one of the things that made tinkaton not only my favorite pokemon in this region, but my third favorite pokemon of all time!
BlackPink’s light stick is a pink mallet 🤣 Also made me think of Hilda from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Pink haired little girl. Super strong with an affinity for oversized axes.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that Tuff and Ton have legs that are backwards, their whole lower half seems to be twisted around. The Douen a type of duende are also known for having backward feet. You even put up a picture of a backward footed Douen in your video at 4:54
Tinkaton can learn rock moves via TM but can't learn Rock Throw or Rock Blast at all. Also Corviknight, being part Steel-type, isn't weak to Rock-type attacks. Not to mention that aside from Thunder Wave, Tinkaton can't learn Electric-type or Fire-type attacks, Corviknight's only weaknesses.
3:35 I know another tinkerer: the tech-element skylander named Sprocket, well any of that element would still work here but I figured you’d find interest in her specifically… in series 2 she even has a tank on her skylander “figurine”(personally, not fond of the status being called toys but sadly I’m easily defeated in that argument).
So if Tinkaton’s hammer weighs over *220 pounds* as mentioned in its Violet Dex entry, that is quite heavy… But the thing is the Scarlet entry for Talonflame states it can carry prey over *220 pounds* … … O_O Well…large birds of prey like eagles can carry heavy prey like monkeys or foxes. Roid a falcon up into a Phoenix and that puts faeries on the menu. And of course there are legends of birds of prey carrying people off to eat. So a short, fairy-lady seems plausible for consumption.
The thing is the whole Tinkaton weighs 247 pounds, and the hammer weighs "Over 220 pounds". Then that means Tinkaton itself only weighs somewhere around 20-27 pounds, and is swinging around a hammer 11 TIMES as heavy as itself like it's no big deal.
The Mouros part of the inspiration got me thinking. What if there were male Tinkaton that instead of crafting a giant hammer, they used their crafting skill to create a more refined weapon? Like a sniper rifle, because why not? Male and female Tinkaton hunt as a duo, with the hammer-swinging girlboss doing what she does best, while the other picks off the stragglers from afar. The tag team is so effective that Paldea is starting to face a steel type shortage in some areas. Give it a signature move, a special steel type attack that either crits more often or is super effective against steel types.
This one would be cool for Pokemon to reference, but Polly from Amphibia has a knack for tinkering with mechanics and weapons in the later seasons, even becoming a mechanic when she grows up. Not to mention she's also pink...and vicious.
Really wished that they match the pokemon's move to their dex entries. Tinkaton is Covidknight's natural predator, but it can't learn any attacks to hit it super efficiently. It's even at a disadvantage against covidknigjt type wise.
Wanted to add, gremlins are a thing in the motercycle community as well. We gift each other bells to hang on our bikes to ward off gremlins. That would other wise cause the bike to malfunction
Tinkaton is my favorite Mon this generation. Any Pokémon the wields and oversized weapon or is able to do so is easily on of my favorites. Sir Fetched and Zacian were my favorites in the previous generation.
I would like to mention that at the top of Tinkaton's hammer, there seems to be something that resembles a sextant, an "instrument for determining the angle between the horizon and a celestial body such as the Sun, the Moon, or a star, used in celestial navigation to determine latitude and longitude."
By words of someone's elses for the love of Tinkaton: "This little s*** is using math to terrorize birds." - DaemonGrave
So this is why we're taught math in school!
not only is tinkaton cute, she also has a big brain
Tinkaton: "I predict if I swing at this specific angle, Imma nail that Scrapwing (Corviknight) right between the eyes."
I just imagining looking down the “sights” of its hammer to measure and angle to swing a rock at that bird.
Is it weird that Tinkaton is probably my favorite Pokemon of Gen 9 while Corviknight is my favorite Pokemon of Gen 8?
Actually, Duende is just a general term for small magical guys, like elves, dwarves and gnomes. It's sort of like the word Fae.
yes and is like that even in Brazil same word, same pronunciation and same meaning.
I just finished Spanish 202 and our last subject was stories and fantasy, and I was like "Wait, isn't that just the Spanish word for goblin/elf?" Guess I was right.
Yeah exactly
Just slightly more specific since it doesn't refer to fairies or bigger creatures
@DIAMOND fists its also a word in tagalog! A duende is a fae with a cool hat who curses you if ruin its anthill house
i just use "duende" for elves for gnomes its mostly gnomo and for dwarfs its anões thats just portugal not sure how our neighbors across the boarder do it hol up slight oversight elves its elfo im a dumbass
It’d be interesting to have a Corviknight variant that turns the tables on Tinkaton or a variant of both that are comrades
Being comrades is a cool idea especially for double battles
How about a symbiotic relationship instead? It acts more like a jockey, with a Tinkatink riding a rookidee to the fully grown Tinkaton on a Corviknight. It could have a lance instead of a hammer too.
That’s just Talonflame, it says in the dex that it can carry objects up to 220 pounds, and guess how much Tinkaton’s hammer weighs
I mean, young beastmaster is a pretty common trope too

It’s probably why it’s default tactic is an aggressive frontal assault. “Run down that fairy before it kills us all!”

Fun fact, the Tinkaton line is unique when it comes to shinies. The Pokemon itself doesn't change color, but the hammer does, implying that they simply use more extravagant metal to make their hammer.
Tinkaton line's eyes also change colour. And the object being the shiny part isn't unique - Komala's log is what changes colour, not Komala itself
Except komala IS the log
Specifically Shiny Corvanights. :D
Shiny Applin line uses green apples instead of red apples, but the wyrm inside is the same.
Why do people still believe komala is the log?
Fun Fact: The Metals Cobalt & Nickel are both named after Germanic gremlin/goblin/fey things.
Funny enough, the metal looks like cobalt and its shiny looks like brown nickel.

At least it's genuine bravery what with the type matchup. Unlike some "brave" fairy type bullies *coughsylveoncough*
Another thing about Tinkaton is that it has Pickpocket as its hidden ability, showing more of its gremlin side origins

Considering the nature of Area Zero and the fact that that’s the primary place you can naturally find Corviknight, plus the overall stature and proportions of the body and hands, I kind of get the impression that Made in Abyss was referenced in some capacity, if not directly then at least alluded to. In particular, Tinkaton’s design reminds me of Nanachi with the personality and the bunny ears and hair and all, and the entirety of Area Zero just kind of feels like the Abyss.
I love how started playing dubstep for seemingly no reason after saying “ *huge* blacksmith-Chan”
I also got REALLY happy when I saw robin from iconoclasts
It’s pretty underrated, and one of my favorite games
One of the best gen 9 Pokemon. It's Pokedex entry and signature move are amazing
If only it had a higher attack stat to better utilize said move
@@OtisCluck If it had like say 20 extra point than it would have hit as hard as Zacian using behemoth blade and its banned in ubers.
I’m really loving these new more intense and powerful fairies like grimsnarl and tinkaton
Good to see that GameFreak isn't going to relegate Fairy-Types to just be "the sex-bait type" anymore.
Honestly, tinkaton deserved to be a pseudo legendary more than baxcalibur
While I don’t disagree, with the typing it has, 600BST would make it potentially overpowered and easily OU.
Hey now, there’s no need for any Baxcaliber hate. It’s really cool
No, Baxcalibur’s cool, Goodra doesn’t deserve
True
@@ThisAintGood. All of the Psudos deserve to be Psudos.
I freaking knew this would one of the first post game release Pokemon you would do and I'm not complaining in the slightest. Tinkaton is really a standout of the gen and probably my favourite Paldea mon. As a Kirby fan, I very much like the small pink things with tremendous power.
he did tandemaus before tinkaton
That's why I said "one of the first".
Imagine if the Metagross line was native to Paldea, what kind of monstrous hammer will Tinkaton have.
Regional variant(?)
sinnohian tinkaton
I honestly hope to see some fanart of Tinkaton with Monster Hunter weapons that are made up of different steel-type pokemon. Imagine one of those little gremlins wielding a Gunlance.
The power of magnetism! Tinkaton would have something like a Gravity Hammer from Halo
Iron man tinkaton
The fact that regular/shiny Tinkaton's hammer is the same color as regular/shiny Corviknight is a nice, if grim, touch.
Yes
It gets a bit darker than that, too. If you look a shiny Corviknight, its metal is a proper silver color. Shiny Tinkaton's hammer on the other hand is much darker, even rustic. That might kill the connection, until you look at the color of tarnished silver.
Shiny Tinkaton's hammer is nothing like a shiny Corviknight
Waiting for a Clock convergent form Tinkaton called "Tickatok"
I LOVE this idea.
I love Tinkaton, how much? A ton, me tinks.
I love this mon so much! When I saw it I was like "Squee! You are so cute! You are coming from me!" Though if I had known how big her hammer would get I would've named her Autumn's Dust. Instead of Autumn Dusk. XD
3:42 Finally, somebody acknowledges the Tinkerbell movie from 2008!
Im really glad you touched on how the rattle is still the core of the hammer along the evolutions. I don't see that detail talked about often. Love this video.
Tinkaton reminds me of Monster Hunter, it's a humanoid with a huge mechanic weapon made off the innards of a creature much bigger than Tinkaton itself
Tinkaton is a vital part of my friend-shaped team, right up there with Bellibolt and Clodsire, so I'm choosing to believe the Pinkerton connection is coincidental at best. In any case, wonderful to see this line get highlighted.
I don't buy it. Something has to keep the friend-shaped 'mons "friendly".
At first I thought she was kind of goofy, but everyone loves the goblin energy with a big mallet
The goofiness is part of her charm, my friend.
The trope of Little-Girl-Big-Hammer could also be applied to Hilda Goneril of Fire Emblem Three Houses bit instead of a hammer she gets an axe and is a physical powerhouse in the game.
Literally my first thought when I saw the mon when the game came out. Even has the same hairstyle.
Tinkaton really struck a cord with me, and it's now one of my new favorite Pokémon, even my new favorite Steel-type. Getting to know the lore and inspirations around it definitely helped, too.
You really don’t miss! This is so filled with incredible information it’s mind blowing and really helps us appreciate your hard work and the design creators! Even the “Pinkertons” was not a stretch especially considering even the shiny form stays true to the name and remains pink
Fun fact: talonflames Pokédex entry says it can Carry prey up to 220 pounds, the same Weight as tinkatons hammer. So it get revenge for tinkaton killing it corvinignt brother, I like to believe.
Coincidentally, I nicknamed my Tinkaton after League's character. Then, during elite 4, I was caught off guard as the 2nd trainer was also named Poppy (in german version) AND threw out Tinkaton.
Lol. Same. My immediate thought when when I got her was "she looks like Poppy."
Her name is Poppy too in English iirc
I actually named mine after a JoJo stand. All of my powerful ones are.
My tink is called Spicy Girl.
Anihilape is Survivor
Luxray is Chilli Pepper.
I'm still looking for a Pokemon to call White Album.
Great Tusk is Underworld.
Slither Wing is Super Fly.
Sandy Shocks is Metallica.
And my Armarouge is Magicians Red
@@furionmax7824 Lol I named my Tinkaton after a Jojo stand too, the stand being Paisley Park
@@hemlock1881 Paisley Park? Is that from Steel Ball? I never got that manga. Might tho soon.
But Survivor (anihilape) is my baby. And I love the history behind it.
Btw. I named my Koraidon Planet Waves after the heart stand held by Westwood that could pull down meteorites from the sky.
Interesting fact: There are duende in the Philippines as well. Filipino duende live in mounds and like being given gifts. It’s also tradition to say Tabi Tabi Po while walking by natural mounds.
Most places "found" by Portugal and Spain normally have some similar tradicions Philipins were "found" by a Portuguese navigator so that does make sence .
Remember thebsix episode Series Trese?
I do remeber it. That sneaky bastard after all that happened...
its just business... ugh
So do all the places in the world where Portugal and Spain colonized
Because it was brought there by spanish and portuguese.
I like how Tinkaton Kills Corviknite with a Corvikinte!
Corviknight is spelled with a C.
2:08 “HOW BIG IS THIS TROPE!? IS IT AS BIG AS THE HAMMERS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?”
1:50 can’t forget about the girl with the gall, Sena
My favorite character in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is Sena. And you pretty much nailed her with your description of the trope.
"YIPEE!"
9:54 they could probably use the stork instead but it would drop the customer on purpose so they have to use parrots
It’s so cool you showed off Felicia from Magia Record at 2:17!! Thats who I renamed my Tinkaton after when I couldn’t decide on a name for her when she was a Tinkatink >w
What's interesting to me is that it seems to be implied by the "daring disposition" that the tinka line's engagements with pokémon like corviknight aren't guaranteed to be successful, but frequent enough to make corviknight want to avoid the area.
13:26 "Spaaaaaaaaaaaain! Sweden." Ok, that actually got a laugh out of me! I don't know if that was supposed to be that funny, but it was! XD
Tinkaton's shiny is actually perfect! People hate it because it's body doesn't change but think about it! She's using shiny corviknight to make its shiny hammer! SHE'S A SHINY HUNTER!
The shiny colors are not the same
It dosent make sense, as shiny Corviknight is silver colored, not copper/bronze colored.
@@sindraile5128 The hammer is, however, a very similar color to tarnished silver.
@@post-ironicgarbageig2345 Ah, I see. Though I do think it should have a few darker smudged areas/a slightly different texture on the hammer. They did change textures for shiny magikarp and the dung beetle [I dont remember his name]
11:14
I literally just got my screen fixed 2 days ago (phone was unusable) and that crack nearly gave me a stroke.
Will you consider making a video on all of the returning Pokémon in SV and why they’re in the Paldea region?
I also like to think Gigaton Hammer hits every other turn because it’s referencing making mochi. One person hits the mochi while another folds it for the next strike. And with the pigtails, it even looks like a rabbit making mochi!
(Sees Corviknight)
Tinkaton: That's it! I'm getting me mallet!
Aww, man, I liked Tinkaton. She's a good girl and basically the Hatterene of this generation. I love the kawaii immature doof adults who try to defy Christmas cakeification with chaos and sweetness.
And also, down with Pinkerton and Baldwin-Felts! Down with the blacklegs and scabs! Which side are you on?
He’s just giving us information that relates to the Pokémon I don’t think he actually supports the stuff.
@@echo-048
Oh I know. But I feel every mention of strikebreakers and union busters needs all that said.
Don't scab for the bosses!
Don't listen to their lies!
Us poor folks haven't got a chance unless we organize!
These things need to be said more now than ever since unions became a staple of lavor
3:50 That last trope is even used in Scarlet and Violet with Penny
There is an episode of Looney Tunes describing a lot of these tropes quite well. It's called "Falling Hare" and is one of the few times Bugs is the victim. And it's at the hands of an airplane Gremlin. And wouldn't you know it... in the episode, he has a GIANT HAMMER. It's a great example of the tropes put together. You can see it on RUclips, just search for Falling Hare.
5:03 There in the waaaaalls. THEY'RE IN THE GODAMN WALLS
Wow, what deep inspiration and here I thought that Tinkaton was just Poppy from the Trolls movie mixed with traits of actual trolls…
I just thought this because so many Paldean Pokémon seem to be based on characters from various pop-culture medias (ex: video games, comic books, children’s books, animated movies, anime, etc.).
Girls with Giant Hammers are quite Smashing
*BONK*
Y’know if tinkaton ever gets introduced to galar that Pokémon species would be considered as an invasive species since galar relies on corviknight taxi
Tinkaton is our hero
When I read corviknights dex entry and it said it can't be used for taxi service cause of predators, and tinkatons dex entry said it hunted corviknight I took it literally and thought that tinkaton eats corviknight... Looking back it really makes no sense but it's still funny though
Same. I thought that tinkatons use their metal to make their hammers more sturdier and then eat them. Also, you like earrape?
@@Idkanymore9029 maybe they pluck off the metal feathers to improve their hammers, and then they eat the plucked corviknight. Probably
Well, I'd assume that Corviknight has squishy insides underneath all its metal feathers. Not too far-fetched of an idea to say that the prey they use for materials for their hammers is also the prey they use for food.
Nah, Tinkaton picks fights with them.
I thought I'd hate this thing, but when I got used to the gen 9 designs, this became one of my favorites
I didn't expect Lockstin to talk about the "Martxoak 3 / 3 de Marzo / 3rd of March" incident in Spain, I live next to the church were everything happened and my grandmother was able to view everything from our balcony. It was a slaughter from which "luckily" only 5 people died, while having 150+ wounded, in a country where usage of fire arms was pretty rare. Tensions were pretty high, the incident took place in a city of the Basque Country which had our Basque culture stripped from while the dictatorship of Franco. Civilians were already tense with the government and factory owners were pushing workers way to hard. The workers organized a formal strike barricading inside a church and the police abused a loophole in the law about the property of the church and being an occupation of a private, government owned place. The higher ups ordered policemen to open fire but even common policemen knew it was a masacre so most aimed to wound and not to kill, even when they were ordered to shoot to kill. The injuries registered (around 150) are only about gunfire injuries, many people who even weren't part of the strike were brutally beaten up by policemen who didn't want to use their gun. A friend's grandfather lost his leg due to a beat down, and if you ask around many people have some anecdote about that day. It's an event which still has marked the history of the city until this day, but through violence and blood we now can live with worker rights. To this day there's an association and many political rallies are held on March 3rd, to commemorate and ask for fairer treatment of workers
I love how theres no such thing as a shiny Tinkaton. Just Shiny Hunting Tinkatons.
Tinkatons, the first shiny hunters amongst the Pokémon species.
I'm so glad to learn all of this stuff; I presumed the Tinkaton line was based more around Hephaestus as the ruins they are around also have Bronzor/Bronzing and Falinks, and kind of made a bigger nod towards Rome/ Greece.
I love your videos, you’re so tenacious and I can’t get over it :)))
The Duende is also pretty common in Philippine folklore/mythology, also associated with trickery.
And yes, Philippines was a Spanish colony for 333 years.
Her signature move should've been very unique, where it's always super-effective on Corviknight specifically regardless of (tera) type.
Gigaton Hammer is the most satisfying Pokémon movie I’ve ever seen (besides oblivion wing) something about running around bonking things with a stab boosted terra boosted base 160 power hydraulic press, that fills me with pure happiness
Bonus points in Spanish lore: There was a report from an helicopter being taken down after a man who thought the engine was too loud and flying too low take the vehicle down with a stone which got stuck in the tail rotor. The case was never closed since it was the words of one man against the other's thus the myth of the spanish man taking a helicopter down with a stone being why Tinkaton takes the Corviknights down with a stone - given how Corvs are like the helicopters of human transport.
7:48 I realized that pretty quick and its one of the things that made tinkaton not only my favorite pokemon in this region, but my third favorite pokemon of all time!
I named my Tinkaton "Amy Rose".
For obvious reasons.
Absolutely love this Pokémon. I also love these deep dive videos. They give me such deeper appreciation for the Pokémon. Thank you!
BlackPink’s light stick is a pink mallet 🤣 Also made me think of Hilda from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Pink haired little girl. Super strong with an affinity for oversized axes.
i wrote a fic where tinkaton got added to blackpink as a fifth member. COINCIDENCE
I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that Tuff and Ton have legs that are backwards, their whole lower half seems to be twisted around. The Douen a type of duende are also known for having backward feet. You even put up a picture of a backward footed Douen in your video at 4:54
Tinkaton can learn rock moves via TM but can't learn Rock Throw or Rock Blast at all. Also Corviknight, being part Steel-type, isn't weak to Rock-type attacks. Not to mention that aside from Thunder Wave, Tinkaton can't learn Electric-type or Fire-type attacks, Corviknight's only weaknesses.
Yeah it’s really funny cus corviknight easily walls and does more damage to tinktaon
3:35 I know another tinkerer: the tech-element skylander named Sprocket, well any of that element would still work here but I figured you’d find interest in her specifically… in series 2 she even has a tank on her skylander “figurine”(personally, not fond of the status being called toys but sadly I’m easily defeated in that argument).
Please someone remember skylanders in general, they’re gone but shouldn’t be forgotten whatsoever!!!
So if Tinkaton’s hammer weighs over *220 pounds* as mentioned in its Violet Dex entry, that is quite heavy…
But the thing is the Scarlet entry for Talonflame states it can carry prey over *220 pounds*
…
…
O_O
Well…large birds of prey like eagles can carry heavy prey like monkeys or foxes. Roid a falcon up into a Phoenix and that puts faeries on the menu.
And of course there are legends of birds of prey carrying people off to eat. So a short, fairy-lady seems plausible for consumption.
The thing is the whole Tinkaton weighs 247 pounds, and the hammer weighs "Over 220 pounds". Then that means Tinkaton itself only weighs somewhere around 20-27 pounds, and is swinging around a hammer 11 TIMES as heavy as itself like it's no big deal.
The Mouros part of the inspiration got me thinking. What if there were male Tinkaton that instead of crafting a giant hammer, they used their crafting skill to create a more refined weapon? Like a sniper rifle, because why not?
Male and female Tinkaton hunt as a duo, with the hammer-swinging girlboss doing what she does best, while the other picks off the stragglers from afar. The tag team is so effective that Paldea is starting to face a steel type shortage in some areas.
Give it a signature move, a special steel type attack that either crits more often or is super effective against steel types.
I wonder if the teeth are also a reference to the "flesh tooth" trope somewhat popular with spunky, tomboy-ish and/or mischievous anime girls
TINKATON SMASH!
(Corviknight flys in fear)
This one would be cool for Pokemon to reference, but Polly from Amphibia has a knack for tinkering with mechanics and weapons in the later seasons, even becoming a mechanic when she grows up. Not to mention she's also pink...and vicious.
Really wished that they match the pokemon's move to their dex entries.
Tinkaton is Covidknight's natural predator, but it can't learn any attacks to hit it super efficiently. It's even at a disadvantage against covidknigjt type wise.
I love Tinkaton too!
Wanted to add, gremlins are a thing in the motercycle community as well. We gift each other bells to hang on our bikes to ward off gremlins. That would other wise cause the bike to malfunction
1:27 AYOO you know what Blazblue is? BASED
@TextLockstinGnoggin STAHP
Steel types: *Hi ther…….*
Tinkaton: Your existence stops now.
Workers in the region " we want too unionize" the boss "send in the tinkaton!"
You forgot to mention Nora Valkyrie from _RWBY._ Her hammer can turn into a grenade launcher.
2:28 god i cant escape her
"Pinkerton Detective agency"
*insert Red Dead Redemptionn2 ptsd*
2:53 It's not uber-powerful with that pitiful base attack though lol.
Tinkaton is my favorite Mon this generation. Any Pokémon the wields and oversized weapon or is able to do so is easily on of my favorites. Sir Fetched and Zacian were my favorites in the previous generation.
If she finds a metal type it kills it and turns it body into its own hammer and that's probably why it kills that bird it's made of metal
Awe I love having Squawkabilly fly me around! They are so cute yet fierce, like a real parrot lol
