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 will die if it stops bouncing. The pearl on its head amplifies its psychic powers.
Using its tail like a spring, it keeps its heart beating by bouncing constantly. If it stops, it dies.
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.
