==Biology==
==Biology==
Tinkatuff is a pink humanoid Pokémon, with a large head and arms and short, stumpy toeless feet with light pink circles underneath. Its arms have three fingers each, and it has steel plates on its hips that resemble outturned pockets. Its head has light pink circles on its cheeks, silver eyes, and a mouth with square teeth-like growths on the upper and lower lips. It has thin eyebrows or eyelashes above its eyes that give it a perpetually angered expression. On top of its head is a white growth resembling hair tied into a ponytail, with a light pink zigzag pattern on the rim where the growth meets the head.


==In the anime==
Tinkatuff carries a large, gray, crude yet sturdy hammer, with loose metal plates for the hammer head and what appears to be the old hammer Tinkatuff had as a {{p|Tinkatink}} on top of the shaft. Tinkatuff makes its hammer using metal it collects from groups of {{p|Pawniard}} and {{p|Bisharp}}, which it preys on. Two Tinkatuff will smash their hammers together in order to test out the hammers' strength. Tinkatuff lives in homes made from piles of scrap metal. It is a female-only species. Tinkatuff largely resides in various ruins across [[Paldea]].

Tinkatuff (Japanese: ナカヌチャン Nakanuchan) is a dual-type Fairy/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It evolves from Tinkatink starting at level 24 and evolves into Tinkaton starting at level 38.

Biology

Tinkatuff is a pink humanoid Pokémon, with a large head and arms and short, stumpy toeless feet with light pink circles underneath. Its arms have three fingers each, and it has steel plates on its hips that resemble outturned pockets. Its head has light pink circles on its cheeks, silver eyes, and a mouth with square teeth-like growths on the upper and lower lips. It has thin eyebrows or eyelashes above its eyes that give it a perpetually angered expression. On top of its head is a white growth resembling hair tied into a ponytail, with a light pink zigzag pattern on the rim where the growth meets the head.

Tinkatuff carries a large, gray, crude yet sturdy hammer, with loose metal plates for the hammer head and what appears to be the old hammer Tinkatuff had as a Tinkatink on top of the shaft. Tinkatuff makes its hammer using metal it collects from groups of Pawniard and Bisharp, which it preys on. Two Tinkatuff will smash their hammers together in order to test out the hammers' strength. Tinkatuff lives in homes made from piles of scrap metal. It is a female-only species. Tinkatuff largely resides in various ruins across Paldea.

Evolution

Tinkatuff evolves from Tinkatink and evolves into Tinkaton.

Trivia

Origin

Given its type combination and its size, Tinkatuff may be inspired by duendes, gnomes, or dwarfs, the latter of which are commonly depicted smithing and using iron tools and weapons.

Name origin

Tinkatuff may be a combination of tinker (itinerant tinsmith) and tough.

Nakanuchan may be a combination of 中 naka (middle), 鍛冶 kanuchi (blacksmith), and the Japanese diminutive suffix ~ちゃん -chan.
