Tinkaton 85/182 · Paradox Rift

Tinkaton is Pokédex #959, generation 9 (Paldea). Tinkaton is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokémon with 130 HP. The card says it evolves from Tinkatuff. In this catalog that name is Tinkatuff (#958).

Tinkaton sits at 85/182 in Paradox Rift, position 85 of 266. Before it is 84 Tinkatuff, and after it is 86 Scream Tail. The set belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series. It was released on November 3, 2023. The printed size is 182. This checklist is longer, at 266 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Crushing Blow lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic. Discard an Energy from your opponent's Active Pokémon. Alloyed Hammer is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Psychic. If this Pokémon has any Metal Energy attached, this attack does 120 more damage. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "The hammer tops 220 pounds, yet it gets swung around easily by Tinkaton as it steals whatever it pleases and carries its plunder back home." The regulation mark is G.

Tinkaton (#959) has 8 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 4 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2023 to 2025. The earliest other card is Tinkaton 20/102 in Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos (2023). That card lists 140 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Uncommon. Anesaki Dynamic illustrated that card, and KEIICHIRO ITO illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Tinkaton list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads KEIICHIRO ITO. I count 50 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Paradox Rift set binder is where a full Paradox Rift set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tinkaton can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
