Role

The only Pokémon who can create Tinkagears — essential components for Lift and Elevator Platforms. Leads grand construction projects in the Skylands.

How to unlock

Find her in her half-built workshop tower on a floating island in Sparkling Skylands. Deliver 6 Concrete Bricks and 1 Iron Ingot for the initial Lift Platform to complete her introductory workshop commission — she forges her first Tinkagear on the spot.

Before you start

  • Complete “Time to Party!” to unlock Sparkling Skylands.
  • Gather 6 Concrete Bricks and 1 Iron Ingot for the initial Lift Platform commission.

Quest walkthrough

  1. Reach Sparkling Skylands via the route that opens after clearing Rocky Ridges.

  2. Find Tinkmaster’s workshop — her home is an oversized dumping-ground-style habitat inside a half-built tower on one of the floating islands.

  3. Accept her “introductory workshop commission” to build a Lift Platform.

  4. Deliver 6 Concrete Bricks and 1 Iron Ingot. She forges her first Tinkagear and joins the team.

  5. Much later, she offers a follow-up “rebuild the huge building” quest for the tower’s second floor, which requires 5 refined Pokémetal bars (use a Rarify-specialty Pokémon to turn Star Pieces into Pokémetal).

What you unlock

  • Engineer specialty — large multi-step construction projects like the Lift and Elevator Platforms.
  • Tinkagear crafting, the component that gates Sparkling Skylands’ endgame builds.
