Tinkaton - Tinkaton in lore vs Tinkaton in gameplay

Thank you! All the memes have been going on about this, but even ignoring the specific stats, tinkaton as a corviknight predator makes very little sense. For starters, Corviknight is LESS weak to rocks than basically any other bird, and resists steel and fairy – both of tinkaton's primary types – super hard.

Something that fills the ecological niche of a corviknight predator would probably be an electric type, using magnetism to turn their armor into a drawback and then zapping them to the ground.

I actually always saw Tinkaton as closer to that shitty six year old brat who throws rocks at nearby roosting crows; but nobody has ever portrayed the shitty six year old animal abuser as a badass for it, nor would you ever argue that rock throwing awful children are a 'weakness' of birds.

Also note that corviknight bodying tinkaton actually doesn't take away any of the justification that they can't be a cab service anymore, since Tinkaton could do a fuckton of damage to a wicker basket carrying nonflying humans.
