Tinkaton is a solid Stealth Rock setter with decent bulk that can check common special attackers such as Hydreigon, Hatterene, and Scream Tail while also crippling common switch-ins like Corviknight and Garchomp with Knock Off. Encore can be used to PP stall recovery moves such as Roost on Corviknight and setup moves on Scream Tail, Gigaton Hammer is a strong STAB move for targets like Scream Tail and Hatterene, and Ice Hammer can be used to threaten Garchomp. Earth Eater can be used as an alternative ability to check Ground-types like Garchomp, Ting-Lu, and Sandy Shocks more effectively. Physical attackers that can have a hard time breaking Corviknight like Kingambit and Roaring Moon appreciate Tinkaton's Knock Off and Thunder Wave. Additionally, Hex users like Skeledirge also appreciate Tinkaton's ability to spread status and allow them to fully capitalize on a boosted Hex while also being able to outspeed paralyzed foes. Tinkaton can struggle with strong special attackers like Inteleon and Iron Moth, so paring it with a strong specially defensive wall like Roaring Moon or Iron Moth is recommended.

Just a heads up I probably won't get to this until after the Ghosts suspect tests results as it does change some things here (mainly teammates to pair and things it can check)

Ready for a QC!

item: Leftovers
ability: Regenerator I know this is a large change, but WBB/EE does very similar things with the same move set and spamming utility moves so possibly it could be added here? Or just as a seperate set...? I just don't see much reason to make them seperate sets

Tinkaton is a solid Stealth Rocker with decent bulk that can also cripple common switch-ins like Corviknight and Garchomp with Knock Off. Encore can be used to PP stall recovery moves such as Roost on Corviknight or setup moves on mons like Scream Tail, Gigaton Hammer is a strong STAB for targets like Scream Tail and Hatterene, and Ice Hammer can be used to threaten Garchomp. Physical attackers that can have a hard time breaking Corviknight like Slither Wing Is Slither Wing the best example when it's probably one of the best physical breakers to break down Corviknight? and Roaring Moon appreciate Tinkaton's Knock Off and Thunder Wave utility. Additionally, Hex users like Skeledirge also appreciate Tinkaton's ability to spread status and allow them to fully capitalize on a boosted hex while also being able to outspeed paralyzed foes. Tinkaton can struggle with strong special attackers like Inteleon or Iron Moth, so paring it with a strong specially defensive wall like Regenerator Roaring Moon is recommended. I think it'd be worth mentioning what Tinkaton can defensively check for stuff like Roaring Moon (Hydreigon/Hatterene/Scream Tail for example) or slotted into the opening line.

Encore can be used to PP stall recovery moves such as Roost on from Corviknight and setup moves on from Scream Tail. (rc, add period instead) Gigaton Hammer is a strong STAB move for targets like Scream Tail and Hatterene, and Ice Hammer can be used to threaten Garchomp. Earth Eater can be used as an alternative ability to check Ground-types (ah) like Garchomp, Ting-Lu, and Sandy Shocks more effectively. Physical attackers that can have a hard time breaking Corviknight, (ac) like such as Kingambit and Roaring Moon, (ac, sentence edited for clarity) appreciate the utility that Tinkaton's Knock Off and Thunder Wave provide utility. Additionally, Hex users like Skeledirge also appreciate Tinkaton's ability to spread status inflict paralysis with Thunder Wave (less ambiguity) and allow them to fully capitalize on a boosted Hex while also being able to outspeeding paralyzed foes. Tinkaton can struggles with against strong special attackers like Inteleon and Iron Moth, so paring pairing it with a strong (eliminating repetition) specially defensive wall like Roaring Moon or Iron Moth is recommended.
