What species is Tinkmaster, the tool-using Pokémon in Pokémon Pokopia?

The story behind the answer

Tinkmaster is a Tinkaton in Pokémon Pokopia.

Tinkmaster is a special Tinkaton that has adapted to use various tools while helping reconstruct the damaged landscape. The character fits Tinkaton’s established identity as a Pokémon associated with metalworking, tools, and a large hammer.

Tinkaton is the final evolution in a three-stage family introduced in Generation IX. It evolves from Tinkatuff, which evolves from Tinkatink. Pokopia does not present Tinkmaster as a new evolution in that family; instead, it gives one member of the species a distinctive name and rebuilding role.

The character also illustrates how Pokopia repurposes familiar Pokémon abilities for non-battle activities. Rather than focusing on Gym battles or competitive moves, the game places Pokémon traits into a cooperative restoration setting. Tinkmaster’s tools therefore support construction and environmental recovery within the game’s post-apocalyptic world.
