you know isn't the whole point of pokemon that these creatures are just the in-universe local wildlife (that people capture for what is essentially dogfighting)? Are Tinkatons born with the hard-wired knowledge of using a mallet? Where do they even find one? Is it passed down from their parents, or do they just emerge from the birthing canal (or egg idfk) wielding a hammer?
