Tinkaton
Tinkaton is a small pink creature from the Pokémon video game series. It was introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, where it was designed by Megumi Mizutani[1]. It is an "evolved" form of Tinkatuff, and Tinkatuff is the evolved from of Tinkatink. It is both a steel-type and fairy-type Pokémon. Tinkaton and it's pre-evolved forms are always female.
Appearance
Tinkaton is a small, pink, humanlike creature with long pink hair, making it resemble a small child. It carries a very large hammer made of scrap metal that is larger than their entire body. Despite their size Tinkaton are very strong, and can easily swing their massive hammers to hit things into the air. They prey upon other Steel-type pokemon, especially a raven-like Pokemon called Corviknight.
Tinkaton starts life as a Tinkatink, an even smaller pokemon that resembles a baby carrying a rattle. As it grows older and evolves, it gradually builds larger and larger hammers.
Origins
Tinkaton are most likely based on Dwarves, a type of fictional creature from various mythologies. Like Tinkaton, Dwarves are small humanoids that are very good at making weapons.
