Great event, also completely skippable depending on what you already have. Tinkatink is a Fairy/Steel type with one of the strongest defensive profiles in the game, resistant to 11 move types and practically immune to Dragon, making Tinkaton a serious PvP threat in both Great and Ultra League. The exclusive move Gigaton Hammer is a Steel-type Charged Attack that gives the final evolution real offensive bite. That said, if you already have a high-IV Tinkaton, this Community Day offers you absolutely nothing new beyond extra candy and a cosmetic background that means zero in actual battles.
The 3x Catch Stardust bonus is genuinely solid and worth farming even if you don't care about the Pokémon at all. The evolution window extends four hours past the event, so no need to rush. Shiny odds sit at 1 in 20, the standard Community Day rate, meaning it's high enough that you'll probably find a few, or low enough that you'll find none. The paid Special Research runs $1.99 and delivers three Special Background encounters, which is either a nice bonus or a mild joke depending on how much you care about cosmetics nobody else will notice.
Overall, a well-put-together event for a Pokémon that arguably deserved this spotlight sooner. And also one that came too soon, given Tinkatink only debuted in GO less than a year ago.
