Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players looking to add the Fairy/Steel-type Tinkatink and its evolutions to their team can find everything they need to know about the new Paldean species in this guide.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players are currently on the hunt to fill Gen 9’s Paldean Pokedex, and there are several new species that many are excited to see. New Fairy-types like Fidough and Tinkatink put a spin on what players have seen in the past, offering new Abilities and Type mash-ups.

Finding Pokemon in Scarlet & Violet is similar to what players saw in the Wild Area and on Routes in Gen 8’s Galar region. Pokemon species spawn in the overworld, making it easy to find a specific option once in the right location – players can even find Shiny variants roaming roads and grassy fields. This includes the new Fairy/Steel-type Tinkatink.

Below is everything players need to know to find Tinkatink and how to evolve it into Tinkatuff and Tinkaton.

How to Evolve Tinkatink into Tinkatuff

Pokemon trainers raising Tinkatink will see it evolve into Tinkatuff at level 24.

The First Stage evolution trades its tiny mallet for an upgraded hammer, and its hair lengthens from a small tuft to a proper ponytail. Tinktuff’s Typing also remains Fairy/Steel.

After dedication and a good deal of leveling, players will see their Tinkatuff evolve into Tinkaton at level 38.

The Second Stage evolution hefts an enormous hammer and its ponytail is traded out a long mop of pink hair. It also has enormous hands used to swing the hammer above its head. The Pokemon’s combination Typing of Fairy/Steel makes it an excellent option for players, and adds an adorable flair to the act of smashing other Pokemon in battle.
