Everyone is currently concerned of the mental health and safety of the victims of pure power Tinkaton. Donate to “big hammer fairy” to help victims affected.
Everyone says that Tinkaton should have gotten Huge Power, but she reminds me more of another Pokemon with a gimmicky attack stat- Marowak! It has similar attack- less actually- I'm really surprised there wasn't some sort of "Steel Hammer" item ala Thick Club. Gigaton Hammer is a hilarious move, but Tinkaton could be super fun with more flexibility.
I always thought that Gigaton Hammer should be Super-Effective against Steel types, like how Freeze-Dry works against Water types. That'd give it a niche, tie into it's Pokedex entries and lore, and make it so that the 85-ish Attack stat doesn't feel too terrible. Because right now, unless you're Tera-Type Electric, Corviknights ingame laugh at Tinkatons.
Idk bout that. My Corviknight would body that Tinkaton. BODY SLAM! Pressing’ up on that Tinkaton. Plot Twist. Tinkaton gets the metal from Corviknight because it’s a gift from Corviknight. Tinkaton really throws rocks to get Corviknight’s attention. If he’s on the ground maybe it can finally begin a relationship between the two. Tinkaton wants “metal” as a form of endearment from Corviknight. But Corviknight isn’t ready to commit 😂 until he is “grounded” that’s why she throws rocks. She’s not trying to steal his metal but his heart ❤️ The whole “prey and predator” thing is really just them having an awkward relationship. He’s a free flying spirit. She’s wants commitment. She throws rocks and he gives metal. It’s beautiful truly 🥺
Just watched this video and it made me realize, the Tinkaton/Medicham combo can be so scary because you can flip roles for the both of them. Tinkaton can be the attacker while Medicham is the support, or you run Tinkaton as support with t wave, fake out, helping hand, etc and Medicham as an offensive pokemon. This can force some mind games with opponents as they have to quickly figure out which set they're against.
It doesn’t actually double the base stat. It doubles the otherwise final stat. Meaning, it doubles the attack after a nature bonus (if the nature increases the attack stat), any attack EVs, any stat increases (like if a Pokémon with huge power used swords dance, the swords dance would effectively be doubled) and the list goes on. It is terrifying.
Yeah his base attack would be north of 400s, with pure / huge power. For Example, Azumarill has a base 50 attack stat, but with huge power his base attack stat is actually 150, not 100.
If you are gonna take it seriously, I’d change the Tera type to Dark on Medicean instead of Normal, the main Taunt users atm are Prankster users so Dark still gives you resistance to Ghost nukes and stops you from becoming useless
Good suggestion, though I have yet to terastallize Medicham since no one expects the support set. Though if this video gets enough traction they might!
@@foofootoo Yeah, about that... ahaha. This is the first competitive Pokemon video outside of meme vids that I've ever watched, and it was on my front page, so it might be time for the dark terra Medicham after all. Good vid.
Reminds me! Apparently Mold Breaker allows status moves to be used on Gholdengo. Skill Swapping mold breaker onto a good support mon might be a good idea 💡
I think it's great that Medicham gets Skill swap now! To be able to give Pure Power to allied physical attackers as well as providing its other support utility is huge! I'll have to experiment with that. Of course giving TInkaton its much needed attack power was a joy to behold! XD
Tinkaton's hammer is bigger than its body and it blocks half of it from view most of the time in battle if you're using it. It's a little nuts. It's like the monster is more its weapon than the creature.
@@astralbirthvoid0 And yet her base attack is only 75. WTF Game Freak? Here's a propositional stat spread that might make a little more sense (and hopefully wouldn't make it too broken after factoring in Gigaton Hammer. HP:85 ATK: 135 DEF: 77 SPA: 64 SPD: 75 SPE: 70 It would have the same BST (506) and hopefully wouldn't be too powerful as its lower special bulk and speed should (theoretically) keep it somewhat in check.
Giga hammer is flat out a solar beam/hyper beam with basically no down side and with good typing means it's flat out really good. Mix in Metal claw you can one shot easily as hell when not lacking attacks.
Just saw a great strat in showdown. beatup maushold into a terra ghost dudunsparce. weakness policy, coil, rattled speed boosts. Then baton pass into any sweeper, he used ceruledge
As soon as I saw Tinkerton in game, my absolute first thought was "I wonder what monstrous teams Foo and Weedle will make with this abomination". Good to see I didn't have to wait long! Love ya foo
"So we have a stell/fairy pokemon with a mega-powerful attack that has a pitiful drawback, but we gave it low attack... Let's give it Pure Power!" Arceus: This has evolved into a big, fucking problem.
A metal coat I found was way more useful as any damage boost u put on tink after huge power is also boosted decently. Add a steel terra and u can possibly get away without huge power as long as they aren't resisted hits, if they are resisted then all u need is the huge power and possibly helping hand.
How crazy! I just finished climbing to masterball with a support medicham. Good to see someone else saw his potential as a support. Medicham also has access to quick guard and fake out as well for use alongside other non-skillswap focused teams.
haha funny lil pink lady go squimch No but seriously, this team looks super fun, and I love that you're giving attention to these Pokemon that not many would consider all that good in competitive. Tinkaton is all my all time gen 9 fave, and Scovillain is also pretty high up, so seeing your videos making them such powerhouses has been a ton of fun.
I love the amount of strategy in these battles. I want to get into competitive Pokémon but I don't know if I have the patience for all the breeding and stuff.
I'm so glad that medicham gets skill swap now. I remember last gen I had a team with passimian and misty explosion azumaril to try and do something similar
Been having fun with skill swap Medicham in other teams. Gyrados and meowskarata are excellent partners. And medicham can pose a threat itself. I think thins is the team I’m building now. Thank you for this.
Hey, so I applied your Concept to a Bulky Tyranitar. In the first move my opponent switched out for pelliper to change the weather to rain. I then used skill swap on tyranitar thus giving it pure power and then bring sandstorm back thanks to medicham and when tyranitat used rock slide I meand he HIT THEM SO HARD!! OHKO!! I would love to show you the ev spread
I do not understand why that first opponent saw Tinkaton OHKOing multiple members of his team and didn't think to use the previously shown Will-o-Wisp to nerf the Tinkaton's power
"Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I'll put Pure Power Into Tinkaton, so it will a good Attack Stat, and then I'll take that Pure Power on a Medicham, and then put more support moves on that Medicham, and then I'll go battle online, and when they arrive, ah ha ha ha! *I'LL SMASH THEM WITH A HAMMER!* It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!"
Foo - I want *Mega Mawile* Mommy Gamefreak - We have *Mega Mawile* at home, just needs some fixing.. *Mega Mawile* at Home - Is Tinkaton Foo - fine ill fix it myself
I love watching videos about competitive pokémon, mainly because my now-ex boyfriend used to play competitively and we used to play together. I was a casual player, then did Sword in ~autumn 2021 and he was horrified at how much I had improved. Every now and then i see a strat like this and wish i could still play against him and just absolutely decimate lmao
You know what I would love trick room made? Inverting priority moves, imagine roar at priority +4 and protect at -4, would be so funny for some battles
If Pokemon were still doing Megas, here's my concept for Tinkaton HP: 85 Attack: 125 Def: 117 SpA: 40 SpD: 135 Speed: 104 Ability: Steelworker The gist is that now she's incorporated bits of steel type megas into her weapon and crafted armor for herself to up her defenses at the cost of impeding special attack. Compared to Mega Mawile, she's weaker when not clicking Gigaton Hammer, but overall sturdier with with a speed stat that snipes Garchomp.
What a great idea, and it's a really good pokemon too! Glade to see you having this much fun with the game and coming up with some bagger teams. That's one of the reasons I love your videos so much, your not looking to win, your looking to have fun and I for one love that. Cheers sir
damn i was expecting a whole gimmick setup and stuff for this but no its literally just one turn and one move this could be super good for a lot of other pokemon as well
I really need you to make a video about Dudunsparce. I need to fill the void made by the disappointment I had seeing one of my favorite Pokémon's evolution I wanted for so long being just it but with a longer butt. I WANT TO LOVE IT, I REALLY DO, so maybe knowing that it's finally good will help me with that
Oh my lord you monster. A Pure Power Swap + Swagger into your own Tinkaton is just cruelty. A Quick Guard user of some kind would make this just about perfect for a swift surprise win, methinks.
As someone who primarily focuses on raiding, now I'm thinking I just might have to make a support Medicham for raids solely for when I see someone pick Tinkaton. Could be quite amusing.
Remember back in Pokémon coliseum when the final boss used skill swap on his slaking? Giving tinkaton pure power feels like that, but this time you’re the one who benefits.
tested out your team since i absolutely love tinkaton! its very fun but suggestion to make it even more disgusting swap out toadscrul for oranguru with instruct it allows Tink to swing twice!
Super smash sister. (Tinkaton for the next Smash Bros. game!) :D Or, what a Paper Mario game looks like from a Goomba's perspective...the thousand-year BONK! "Schmoopy, you can't just use Tinkaton and only use Tinkaton like ya gonna win like that. D'you even use any other Pokémon?" -An inexplicably British Penny in some other RU-vidr's video
Dear god... just plugged in some number over on the smogon calculator and Tinkaton ends up with a _MONSTEROUS_ final attack stat of _546_ with pure power, that's 42 more than the next highest pokemon. And with a single sword dance, it basically moves into oneshot territory for nearly every pokemon in the game. Throw in adamant nature, life orb and a single sword dance and you have a 43.8% chance of OHKO'ing Ubers Toxapex. Guaranteed with 2 sword dances. Same for RU Defensive Steelix. Too bad Tinkaton doesn't get earthquake. They would be hilarious.
