Exclusive move analysis
Tinkaton's Attack stat (155) is too low to be a viable raid attacker — it's heavily outclassed by top Steel attackers like Metagross and Dialga.
A powerful Steel-type Charged Move that adds STAB Steel coverage to its moveset. In Ultra League, Fairy Wind + Play Rough + Gigaton Hammer is an extremely strong combination.

Usage evaluation
Not recommended
Attack stat (155) is far too low — not viable as a Fairy or Steel attacker.
Situationally recommended
Fairy/Steel has excellent typing (2 weaknesses, 11 resistances). The triple Dragon resistance is strong but watch for the Fire/Ground meta.
Recommended
Ranked #46. Completely counters the Dragon meta (Giratina, Zygarde). Gigaton Hammer should make it even stronger.
Not recommended
Max CP of 2,544 is far too low for Master League viability.
Ultra League: 1–2 (IV close to 10/15/15), Great League: 1 (IV close to 1/14/14). No raid value — send the rest to the professor for candy.
Must-evolve for PvP — top-tier Ultra League Pokémon. Gigaton Hammer makes it even stronger. No raid value, so focus on securing PvP IVs.
Mega Evolution bonus

Mega Evolve any Steel-type Mega for +1 Tinkatink candy on catch
Mega Evolve any Fairy-type Mega for +1 Tinkatink candy on catch

Tips
Tinkaton is a strong Ultra League PvP Pokémon (rank 46). Prioritize Ultra League IVs (10/15/15).

With a Lure Module, Tinkatink continues to spawn near PokéStops until 21:00 even after 17:00.
Pair the 3× Stardust bonus with a Star Piece to maximize gains.
Tinkatink is Fairy/Steel — Mega Evolving Mega Gardevoir or Mega Steelix grants +1 candy on catch.
