This card was included in the {{TCG|Paldea Evolved}} expansion with artwork by [[Kouki Saitou]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Triplet Beat}} subset. Starting June 23, 2023, a version of this card featuring a red {{wp|GameStop}} logo was given away with Pokémon TCG purchases worth at least $15 at participating GameStop stores in {{pmin|the United States}} and {{pmin|Canada}}.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/its-hammer-time-with-the-pokemon-tcg-tinkaton-promo-card-at-gamestop-and-best-buy ''It's Hammer Time with the Pokémon TCG Tinkaton Promo Card at GameStop and Best Buy'' | Pokémon.com] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230624151051/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/its-hammer-time-with-the-pokemon-tcg-tinkaton-promo-card-at-gamestop-and-best-buy archived copy])</ref> The official Pokémon website and the Pokémon Support website stated that the card would also be distributed at {{wp|Best Buy}} stores; however, the promotion did not appear to be fulfilled. The Pokémon Support website similarly listed {{wp|EB Games}} as a host store for residents of {{pmin|Australia}}—this promotion did not appear to be fulfilled either.<ref>[https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/14212632145172-Pokémon-Partner-Promotions-and-Distributions ''Pokémon Partner Promotions and Distributions'' | support.pokemon.com] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230609141550/https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/14212632145172-Pok%C3%A9mon-Partner-Promotions-and-Distributions archived copy])</ref> A version with a "Paldea Evolved" stamp was first available in Switzerland from September 7, 2023. Customers at Card Maniac would receive a copy of this variant or a promotional variant of {{TCG ID|Obsidian Flames|Umbreon|130}} with any Pokémon TCG purchase worth at least CHF 20.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=638883005015057 CardManiac.ch on Facebook]</ref> This variant was also made available in {{pmin|Germany}} from around October 18, 2023 and was given away with Pokémon TCG purchases worth at least €20 from participating idee+spiel stores.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=793682342768533 Kids-Spielwaren Zittau on Facebook]</ref> Altough accompanying literature used the incorrect artwork for this variant, it suggested this promotion should have started at around the same time as the equivalent giveaways in the United States and Canada, with the promotion end date stated as August 10, 2023.
