Tinkatink (Japanese: カヌチャン Kanuchan) is a dual-type Fairy/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation IX. It is known for its small, pink, humanoid appearance with a relatively large head and arms, and stumpy legs. It has a pyramidal steel plate on its torso and a pink cap on its head. Tinkatink carries a crude, cylindrical gray hammer, which it creates from iron scraps and constantly remakes until satisfied. It uses the hammer to protect itself, but it is often stolen by metal-eating Pokémon. It is a female-only species and evolves into Tinkatuff starting at level 24, and then into Tinkaton at level 38. Tinkatink's design appears to be inspired by blacksmiths, gnomes, or duendes, as well as babies with rattles. In the anime, Tinkatink debuted in "Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer" where it was caught by Dot, later evolving into Tinkatuff.
