Spoink

Heading up for a battle and want a useful Pokemon? Well, Spoink may be of use but just going for its evolution is not the thing we would recommend. So, have a look at the basic Stats, Evolution Process, Weakness, Moveset, Usefulness among other vital things for Spoink before going ahead.

Spoink was introduced in Generation III as a Psychic-type Pokémon. Most of its skin is coloured in grey expect those two horizontally oval-shaped figures under its eyes which possess pink colour. Its eyes are small, black, and circular in shape. It contains a pig-shaped nose on its face with two grey-coloured ears on its top. A small pair of hands are attached to its body. But it doesn’t have any legs. Instead, a long spiral-shaped spring-like tail is located under its upper body section. The tail helps it in jumping regularly. Additionally, it also holds a spherical light pink-coloured pearl on its head.

Spoink likes to inhabit mountainous regions. Its favourite meal includes the mushrooms that have been grown underground. It is also prominent with its nickname, the “Bounce Pokémon”.

How To Evolve?

Spoink is the final evolutionary form of Grumpig. In order to evolve your Grumpig, try to enhance its level up to 32. You will get your Spoink in no time.

As we mentioned earlier, Spoink constantly bounces on its tail. It continuously performs this process because it is necessary for its heartbeat. If it stops bouncing, then it can end up losing its life.

Another thing is that it always scours for bigger and better pearls than it possesses. The bigger the pearl is, the more will be its Psychic power. You may have watched its anime version constantly looking for pearls in the show.

How Much Useful Is My Spoink?

The pearl placed on top of Spoink’s head is the reason behind its powerful Psychic abilities. It is believed to be created by a Water-type Pokémon named Clamperl. It depends upon the pearl for its Psychic power. Spoink becomes vulnerable without it which makes the rival to exploit this weakness.

Spoink has two powerful abilities under its armoury – Thick Fat and Own Tempo. Thick Fat is useful for minimizing the damage caused by Fire and Ice-type Moveset. It neutralizes the deterioration by 50%. On the other hand, Own Tempo saves it from being confused. This skill is pretty helpful especially when it comes to the battles.

Furthermore, Gluttony works as its hidden ability. When Spoink loses more than half of its Hit Points, then this ability forces it to use berries.

So, does the Moveset, weakness and other information seem worthy for Spoink Evolution? Then visit the official Pokémon page for Spoink Evolution.

And if the case is otherwise then you may like to see some other Pokemon Evolution rather than the one for Spoink and can see for whatever Moveset, weakness and other specification suits better. Visit Herald Journalism for that!
