![]() * PerpetualFrowner: Tinkatuff constantly has an angry frown on its face, fitting its scrappy, combative nature. Especially since their small and adorable appearances are offset by the brutish weapons they wield, making it seem like the Steel-typing is purely derived from their hammers (they also have small metal protrusions on their bodies, but it is unclear at present if these are meant to be depicted as decorations they attach to themselves or as part of their bodies). * OxymoronicBeing: The whole line are Fairy/Steel types, even though the former type is traditionally weak to the latter. * OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: They resemble classic dwarves, as short fey beings known for crafting weapons and having StoutStrength, though they very much avert the “gruff bearded man” stereotype by being pink, all-female sprites instead. * OneGenderRace: This line is all-female. ![]() * AnOddPlaceToSleep: Tinkaton is perfectly fine with using her metal hammer as a bed in her sleeping IdleAnimation. This still effectively makes it a stronger Giga Impact that actually allows the user to take an action during its recharge period, so the sheer raw power of the move is also balanced out by Tinkaton's below average Attack stat of 75. * NecessaryDrawback: Gigaton Hammer is ''extremely'' powerful, but it cannot be used twice in a row. It may also be a shortened form of "tinker", referring to a tinsmith that works on metal. * MeaningfulName: The line contains the particle ''tink'', a metallic sound. It doesn't get much better as a Tinkatuff, but raise it up to level 38 and it becomes Tinkaton and finally gains Gigaton Hammer, which it can build around to devastating effect. * MagikarpPower: Tinkatink is a poor-statted baby with a wide variety of attacking moves but very little capacity to use them (not helped by learning special moves for its STAB early on), with its only advantage being the amazing defensive typing of Fairy/Steel. * LittleMissBadass: They're a race of quite small, pink, all-female beings who wield hammers that are potentially multiple times their size and often harass Pokémon that are much bigger and potentially more powerful than them, like Bisharp or Corviknight. In fact, their habit of hammer-launching rocks at Corviknight is the reason why they can't be used as Flying Taxis like in Galar lest they risk the riders. * KillerRabbit: They may have small, adorable, and overall unassuming appearances, but these critters are not to be underestimated, with Tinkaton in particular being a major concern due to their propensity for attacking indiscriminately with their hammers. * JackOfAllStats: All of Tinkaton's stats are average, with the exception of a high Special Defense of 105 and Speed of 94. It should be noted that the line does not have any immediately apparent metal features on their bodies, instead it's all focused on their weapons, suggesting their half Steel-typing is purely because of the hammers they use.
