PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Fairy Attacker:Fairy Wind Play Rough
Steel Attacker:Fairy Wind Flash Cannon

With a max CP that doesn’t even break 1500 CP, you can imagine how irrelevant Tinkatuff is for Raids. It is bulky in itself, but not tanky enough to defend Gyms against the typical attackers in Pokémon GO. The focus should be only on evolving it to Tinkaton.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Fairy Wind Play Rough Flash Cannon

🔵 Great League

While Tinkatuff maxes out below 1500 CP, its numerous resistances and high bulk give it some degree of viability in the Great League. Aside from shrugging away Dragon, Dark, and Fairy types, it also earns noteworthy wins such as Cresselia, Shadow Feraligatr, Fearow, Shadow Drapion, Furret, Azumarill, and Annihilape.

The issue here is that its own evolution, Tinkaton, is strictly better, so better just evolve it for a dominant match-winner in your team!

Tinkatuff isn’t tough enough for the Ultra and Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Tinkatuff, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
