If you capture a Tinkaton in a 5★ raid, it might have the Hidden Ability. Hidden Ability [Pickpocket] is not useful against Raid Battles so you want to use the Ability Patch, if you have enough, and change your ability to a normal one. If you do not have enough patches, you would want to get a Wild Tinkaton.

| Adamant Mint | - Change the Nature to Adamant - Nature itself remains the same - Purchase at the Chansey Supply Shop for $ 20,000 |
You can change the Nature to Adamant using the corresponding Mint for it. If you do not have one, get it from the Chansey Supply Shop in Mesagoza or other areas for $ 20,000 Pokedollars. If the original Nature is Adamant, there is no need to use Mints.

| Item | Effect / Explanation |
|---|---|
| Sitrus Berry | When a Pokemon holds it, it can eat it to restore its own HP when it is less than half and restore 1/4. - Since it can heal its HP you will not wait while using Swords Dance |
| Lum Berry | When a Pokemon holds it, it will heal from certain conditions (Poison, Paralysis, Burns, Frozen, or Confused) - When you are burned, your damage will be increased so to heal these, it will be easier to complete the Raids |
| Light Clay | When a Pokemon holds, when it uses the move [Light Screen] [Reflect] [Aurora Veil] it will increase by 3 turns. - In lengthen the time of these moves, you can cut down the damage and make it easier for you to complete the Raids |
Before participating in a Raid, do NOT forget to give TInkaton an item to hold. The items listed above is highly recommended.
If you have learned Reflect or Light Screen, you would want to use these on the 1st turn. It will decrease the amount of damage you get, and it will allow you to use Swords Dance easier.
From the 2nd turn and on you want to increase your ATK so use Swords Dance. In about 3 usages of Swords Dance, you will be able to have your ATK to its Max.
Your Opponent Might Try To Decrease Your Moves
Sometimes Pokemon in Raids will try to reset your current stats. If this happens, use Swords Dance again. If you start to struggle and you are losing HP, start [Cheering] and prioritize the healing process.
Once you have used Sword Dance 3 times, you are now ready to use Gigaton Hammer. If it is super effective for some Pokemon, you will be able to defeat it in 1 blow.
