Tinkaton Evolution Line Cards From Japan's Mega Brave Set

Hi. I cover the revealed Tinkaton evolution line cards from Pokemon Japan's Mega Brave set. Previous Tinkaton evolution line cards were all Psychic (see below). The latest ones are Metal Pokemon.

Tinkatink

Tinkatink is a Basic 70HP Metal Pokemon. It has one retreat cost, Grass resistance and Fire weakness. It has one simple attack where it deals 20 damage for 1 Metal Energy.

Tinkatuff

Tinkatuff is the Stage 1 evolution of Tinkatink. It has 90 HP, 2 retreat cost, Grass resistance and Fire weakness.

The Light Punch attack requires 1 Metal Energy for 30 damage. It is an okay attack.

The Surprise Hammer ability activates when you evolve from Tinkatink to Tinkatuff from your hand. Upon evolution, you may choose to flip a coin. If you land Heads, discard 1 Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokemon. Energy disruption is quite powerful but it is hard to pull off. This ability is very similar to the annoying coin flip Item card Crushing Hammer.

Tinkaton

Tinkaton is the final evolved form of Tinkatink. This Stage 2 Metal Pokemon has 160 HP, 2 retreat cost, Grass resistance and Fire weakness. For one Metal Energy, the Large Swing attack does 240 damage minus 60 damage for each Energy attached to the opponent's Active Pokemon. (Note that negative damage is just 0 damage.)

Single prize Tinkaton cards tend to have one attack that is conditionally powerful. This one is no different. If this Tinkaton is attacking something with no energy then 240 damage is pretty good. Dealing 240 damage knocks out almost any Basic Pokemon or Basic Pokemon ex out there. The only issue is getting this into play.
