==Strategy/Usage==
===Normal Form===
Tekachi unfortunately is not great in its first form. While spammable and cheap its only real use is dodge, and even then it is rather low at only a 10% chance. If you're a fan of constant gambling Tekachi can be usable, especially since it targets three common traits in Into the Future, meaning it can still provide use in situations where other pixies or anti-aliens in general may fail. Surge immunity doesn't help it much either, as if you're at the point where you need surge immunity, you would most likely be better off using a more applicable meatshield like talented Gato Amigo or Cat Cactus.
===Evolved Form===
While swapping to the evolved form does make some improvements, namely an overall health boost and adding the Resistant ability, it still underperforms as a tanker. While it has similar health to Gravolo, it doesn't have as much damage, meaning it can only be used for taking hits, whereas Gravolo can be used for damage and tanking. While 750k effective health at level 50 is on par with other evolved pixie tankers, Tetsukachi's dodge ability only has a 10% chance to activate. Compare that to talented Aervanta, who has a 30% chance to dodge, Tetsukachi's dodge will rarely activate, leaving it unable to provide a notable enough boost to bring Tetsukachi up to par with the other tanker pixies. Another limiting factor is that Tetsukachi is a new uber, which means it lacks a true form, so you would overall be better off using Yaminora or Gravolodon if you have them. Despite all this, Tetsukachi does have a few niche uses, such against Angel, Alien or Floating enemies with surge like St. Dober, Pterowl Hazuku and Lutrinae Gokurakko under specific circumstances, as it allows Tetsukachi to utilize all of its abilities as well as possible. Its Low cooldown and cost also make it a bit cheaper than Gravolodon and more spammable than both Gravolodon and Yaminora.
Overall, Tetsukachi isn't great, but it's usable, and it can shine if the situations are right. Its triple trait targeting gives it lots of usability, especially in Into the Future as mentioned before, and surge immunity gives it some more usage later in the game.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A small round creature with a light blue face/chest and darker blue around the rest of its body. Has orange markings around its eyes, mouth and face/chest.

*Evolved Form: Becomes much larger and has more defined armour-like pieces all around its body. Its shoulder pads become larger and spikier, the spiral on its head is gone but its head now resembles a metal helmet. Its arms are a fair bit larger and it now has metal pauldrons/gloves covering its forearms. Its tail is much more defined, being larger and having a hexagon shaped piece of metal on the end, and it now has a marking on its chest resembling the spirit that follows it around but with a spiral inside of it.
==Trivia==
*Its Normal and Evolved forms are likely a reference to the Thwimp and Thwomp respectively.
*The Evolved form's description incorrectly spells "its" (possessive) as "it's" (it is)
*Its name is derived from the Japanese character 鉄, which means Iron/Metal.
