Stats & Training
Sp. Def and Sp. Atk carry most of Spoink's stat budget. Attack's the obvious dump stat. Easy to catch and yields 1 Sp. Def EV. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
Spoink bounces around on its tail. The shock of its bouncing makes its heart pump. As a result, this Pokémon cannot afford to stop bouncing—if it stops, its heart will stop.
Spoink keeps a pearl on top of its head. The pearl functions to amplify this Pokémon’s psychokinetic powers. It is therefore on a constant search for a bigger pearl.
Spoink Weakness
Bug, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Spoink for super-effective damage. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread. Spoink's special bulk (base 80 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
