Players should note that it’s much more convenient to look for Tinkatinks since they spawn more regularly. On the other hand, Tinkatuffs spawn rather infrequently in their own habitats, and those areas of the map take a while to reach if you’re just starting the game.

Final Thoughts
Fairy and Steel are easily part of the top three typings in Pokemon, so having a Tinkatink that merges both is certainly worthy of a catch. Besides, Tinkaton gets access to a wide move pool, being able to learn many Fighting, Dark, Bug, and Ground-type moves alongside its’ STAB moves.
