It bounces constantly, using its tail like a spring. The shock of bouncing keeps its heart beating.

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.
