Specimen #074 in the Evomon Dex, Tinkog is a Steel-type recorded in the Silent Sands — by all accounts a single gear that rolled out of a machine buried beneath the dunes and simply decided to live. It is slow, cheerful, and nearly impossible to dent. Community-verified base stats total 362, weighted heavily toward Defense (77) and Special Defense (75), and field records show it evolving into Tinkore. It spawns in any weather and caps at level 90.

Field Notes ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)
The journal's first impression holds on every subsequent sighting: Tinkog is, quite literally, a lone gear. Community records describe it rolling out of some machine buried beneath the Silent Sands and carrying on as if animation were the obvious next step — no maintenance required, friendship optional. In the field it trundles rather than hurries, and its cheerful disposition seems entirely unearned for something living in a desert.
Like every revealed Evomon it is catalogued at rarity SSS with a community rank of E, appears in any weather, and carries no EM slot. Its plating shrugs off casual damage; denting one is reportedly a project.
Base Stats & Battle Role ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)
Fifty-nine of the revealed roster have community-verified base stats, and Tinkog is among them: 57 HP, 50 Attack, 77 Defense, 57 Sp. Atk, 75 Sp. Def, and a leisurely 46 Speed, for a total of 362. The spread reads exactly like the specimen looks — a small, patient wall. Both defenses sit well above its offenses, so its practical job is soaking hits, not dealing them. Its Steel typing grants seven recorded resistances (Normal, Ice, Poison, Flying, Psychic, Bug, and Dragon) and offensive leverage against Ice and Rock. Fire, Electric, and Fighting attackers are its documented undoing; rotate it out before they arrive.
Evolution & Where to Find ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)
Tinkog is the base stage of its line and evolves into Tinkore. The exact method is not yet documented in community records — Steel lines do not appear on any of the currently catalogued Element Stone lists, so treat any specific stone claim with suspicion until verified. As for finding one: Tinkog spawns in the Silent Sands in any weather, which makes it one of the more straightforward Steel-types to add to a journal. It caps at level 90 like the rest of the roster; an Advance Ball guarantees the capture, and each catch rolls its own Talent grade and Nature, so patient collectors may sift through several gears before keeping one.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I catch Tinkog in Evomon?
Community records place Tinkog in the Silent Sands, the desert zone, and its spawn weather is listed as Any, so no special conditions are required. Like all revealed creatures it is catalogued at rarity SSS; an Advance Ball guarantees the capture if you would rather not gamble.
How does Tinkog evolve into Tinkore?
Tinkog evolves into Tinkore, but the exact trigger has not yet been documented by the community. Evolution in Evomon generally uses element-specific Evolution Stones or the rarer Omni-Stone, yet no Steel line currently appears on the documented stone lists, so we record the method as unverified rather than guess.
Is Tinkog worth training?
As a defensive specialist, yes — its 77 Defense and 75 Special Defense anchor a 362 base stat total, and seven resistances give it plenty of safe switch-ins. Just mind its 46 Speed and its documented weaknesses to Fire, Electric, and Fighting, and note that its evolved form Tinkore's stats are not yet verified.
