Tinkaton
FairySteel
Best attacking moveset: Fairy Wind and Gigaton Hammer, worth 16.2 damage per second against a neutral target.
Best moveset
Tinkaton can learn 10 combinations. Fairy Wind with Gigaton Hammer does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.
That set is legacy. Gigaton Hammer is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Tinkaton you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Fairy Wind and Play Rough, worth 8.8 damage per second.
Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.
