Dot's Tinkatink (Japanese: ドットのカヌチャン Dot's Kanuchan) is the first Pokémon Dot caught after becoming an official Pokémon Trainer, and her second overall. She is usually outside her Poké Ball.

History

Tinkatink and Dot

Tinkatink debuted in HZ039 as a wild Pokémon, being chastised by a worker for trying to use his iron to build a new hammer for herself. When Dot returned the hammer that she'd dropped, Tinkatink noticed Dot's newly-bought mic and began bashing it in order to build a hammer, and Dot decided to let her keep it before leaving. After finishing it, Tinkatink decided to show her work to Dot and climbed aboard the Brave Olivine. Unfortunately, the crew's iron had all been devoured by an unknown Pokémon, and once Tinkatink's presence became they known, they immediately accused her of doing so, despite Dot's protests. After a wild chase, Dot defended Tinkatink, being backed by Friede, who remarked that eating iron isn't typical of Tinkatink's species, and proceeds to reveal the real culprit: Orthworm.

After Orthworm stole the hammer she worked so hard on, Tinkatin, Dot, and Quaxly immediately chased after it. Heading to the desert, Dot decided to use the enviroment to her advantage, ordering Quaxly to trap Orthworm with Water Gun, making the sand wet to prevent Orthworm from escaping since its species are known to rust easily when in contact with water. Seeing an opening, Tinkatink charged towards the Earthworm Pokémon and bashed its head with her hammer, knocking it out, and retrieving her precious hammer in the process. Afterwards, Dot and the Rising Volt Tacklers were ready to leave, but a tearful Tinkatink was hesitant to be left behind, and thanks to Quaxly's encouragement, Dot caught Tinkatink. She then participated in Nidothing's newest video, where she disrupted by getting fixated on the zipper of her costume and trying to remove it, almost exposing Dot's identity before Quaxly shut down the live stream.

Personality and characteristics

True to her species, Tinkatink creates her own hammer using iron scraps, remaking it as many times as she wants until she is satisfied. When Dot allowed her to use the latter's microphone as a basis to build a new hammer, Tinkatink became determined to show Dot her hard-work, and seemed rather protective and fond of her hammer, not allowing Fuecoco to even touch it. She also seems quite easily-scared, being startled by everyone on the Brave Olivine, except for Dot and Quaxly. At the same time, Tinkatink does have a more braver side, charging towards an Orthworm that had stolen her hammer, being just as determined as Dot to recover it. Her natural love for iron occasionally overrides her common sense, as she attempted to take Nidothing's metal zipper in order to make a hammer out of it, accidentally causing the live stream to be shut down as a result, and left the Brave Olivine on her own to find more material for her hammer.

Dot and Tinkatink quickly bonded after meeting each other, as she became unwilling to leave her when she attempted to say goodbye to her.
