Pokémon Go Hosts Tinkatink Community Day Event
Pokémon Go is set to host the Tinkatink Community Day on April 11, 2026, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. This highly anticipated event allows players to capture a shiny Tinkatink and one with perfect IV stats, as well as evolve Tinkatink into Tinkaton with the exclusive move, Gigaton Hammer.
What You Need to Know About the Tinkatink Community Day
The primary focus during this Community Day will be on increasing Tinkatink encounters. Players can significantly boost their chances of finding a shiny version. Additionally, this event offers various bonuses to enhance gameplay.
Shiny Tinkatink
The shiny Tinkatink made its debut earlier this year. Players can expect enhanced shiny odds during the event. To increase Tinkatink spawns further, using Incense is recommended. Look for the sparkling effect next to its name to ensure you catch the shiny variant.
Finding Perfect IV Tinkatink
This Community Day presents a prime opportunity to find Tinkatink with perfect IVs, commonly referred to as “Hundos” in the Pokémon Go community. For optimal IV stats (15/15/15), players should match the following Combat Power (CP) values:
- Level 30 (Wild CP Maximum): 737 CP
- Level 35 (Weather-Boosted CP Maximum): 799 CP
These values cater to trainers above Level 30, providing easier access to powerful Pokémon.
Tinkatink’s Community Day Move
An exciting feature of this event is the introduction of Gigaton Hammer, a Steel-type Charged Attack. To learn this move, players must evolve Tinkatuff into Tinkaton during the event or within four hours afterward (by 9 PM local time).
The details of Gigaton Hammer are as follows:
- Trainer Battles: 130 Power
- Gym and Raids: 300 Power
Best Moveset for Tinkaton
For trainers aiming to maximize Tinkaton’s potential, the following moveset is recommended:
- Fast Move: Fairy Wind (Fairy)
- Charged Move: Play Rough (Fairy)
If a second Charged Move is desired, Heavy Slam or Gigaton Hammer can be considered. Note that Gigaton Hammer will be accessible outside this event only through an Elite Charged TM.

The Community Day will feature several additional bonuses, including:
- Increased spawns of Tinkatink.
- Increased odds of capturing shiny Tinkatink.
- Triple Catch Stardust.
- Double Catch Candy.
- Double chance for Trainers 31 and higher to acquire XL Candy.
