| Location | Sparkling Skylands |

How to unlock Tinkmaster
Progress through the main story until reaching Sparkling Skylands. Follow Professor Tangrowth past area gates from Withered Wasteland, Bleak Beach, or Rocky Ridges. Ride the lift to the Pokemon Center and meet Tinkmaster near the huge building rebuild site.
How to obtain Tinkagears step by step
Tinkmaster requests materials to produce Tinkagears during the rebuild quest.
Step 1
Gather six pieces of Concrete by crafting from Stone and other basics at a workbench.
Step 2
Deliver the Concrete to Tinkmaster and wait for the next request.
Step 3
Mine or gather one Iron Ingot from Iron Ore using appropriate Pokemon or tools.
Step 4
Hand the Iron Ingot to Tinkmaster and wait briefly for processing.
Step 5
Receive three Tinkagears; follow Tinkmaster to learn Lift Platform recipe.
Repeat this process for more Tinkagears by supplying additional Iron Ingots.
Sparkling Skylands connects via lifts from Withered Wasteland gate, west Bleak Beach park, or east Rocky Ridges, leading to the main rebuild area with Tinkmaster.
Alternative gathering methods
Assign Litter-specialty Pokemon like Tinkatink for drops while gathering. Manual collection works through litter in various environments, though slower than Tinkmaster.
| Craft | Materials | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Lift Platform | 5 Iron Ingots, 5 Concrete, 1 Tinkagear | Utility |
| Elevator Platform | 8 Glass, 8 Concrete, 2 Tinkagears | Utility |
Rewards from Tinkagears
Using Tinkagears unlocks mobility across islands, completes main story rebuilds, and fulfills requests like Team Initiation Challenge for rank ups and endings.
Stock Iron Ingots early by mining in rocky areas and use Tinkmaster repeatedly for steady supply to fuel your island builds.
