11Overview2233Engineer is a specialty held by exactly one Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia: Tinkaton, known in-game as Tinkmaster. Engineer is similar to the Build specialty but specifically oversees the largest construction projects, such as rebuilding entire Pokemon Centers, and accelerates the construction timer when assigned.4455While any Build-specialty Pokemon can lead smaller structures, only Tinkmaster can lead the most complex multi-stage builds. Tinkmaster also crafts Tinkagears from Iron Ingots, a material used in late-game construction.6677Pokemon with Engineer8899PokemonNotesTinkatonExclusive. Known in-game as Tinkmaster.

Her habitat requires workbench-themed items arranged together. Once befriended and moved into a furnished home, she unlocks the Engineer specialty for your settlement and begins offering Tinkagear crafting.21212222Tips23232424Prioritize befriending Tinkaton before starting the Sparkling Skylands huge-building projects. Those projects require Engineer to lead.Stockpile Iron Ingots before meeting Tinkaton. Tinkagear production consumes them quickly, and the alternative paths to Iron Ingots are slow.Tinkmaster also counts as a Pokemon worker for huge-project fulfillment, not just the lead slot. Place her on big construction sites to double up her value.Engineer is one of the rarest specialties in the Pokedex. Tinkaton is the only permanent source, so make sure her home meets her comfort preferences to keep her in your settlement long-term.25252626Related Articles27272828TinkatonSparkling SkylandsRebuilding Pokemon CentersIron IngotBuilding Kits Guide
