===Physiology===
Spoink is a gray, pig-like Pokémon. It has dark, circular eyes, a large gray nose, and small ears. It has stubby arms and possesses no hind legs. Motion is achieved by bouncing on its spring-like tail. The bouncing has a vital function, in that it keeps its heart beating. Even while it is sleeping, it continues to bounce. It wears a pearl produced by {{p|Clamperl}} on top of its head, which amplifies its psychic powers. Spoink will be weakened without a pearl, and always searches for bigger pearls. [[AG079|In the anime]] it was shown to easily mistake other round objects as its pearl. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas.}} It likes to eat mushrooms that grow underground.
Spoink is a gray-colored, piglike Pokémon with dark, circular eyes, stubby arms, a large gray nose, and small ears. Spoink is most notable in that it leads an unusually fragile existence. It possesses no hind legs and motion is achieved by bouncing on its spring like tail. However, the bouncing serves a far more vital function in that it keeps its heart beating; if it's stopped from bouncing, it'll go into cardiac arrest and die. It also wears a pearl produced by a {{p|Clamperl}} on top of its head to amplify its psychic powers. However, if it loses the pearl, it begins to weaken, so Spoink is in constant danger from either ceasing to bounce or losing its pearl.
 
====Gender differences====
None.
 
===Special abilities===
The pearl on Spoink's head magnifies its psychic powers. It is able to constantly bounce, even while sleeping, which is imperative to its existence. This is due to the previously mentioned risk of cardiac arrest. Spoink was also one of the few Pokémon originally able to use the move {{m|Bounce}}, though this move now can be used by a decent quantity of Pokémon.
 
===Behavior===
Spoink are constantly on the search for a bigger pearl, which will most likely strengthen its psychic powers when it does so. Due to this factor, Spoink are known to steal round objects that it may confuse for a pearl. They seem to be kleptomaniac Pokémon.
 
===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Spoink are mostly found on rocky mountains or on route paths. In the games, Spoink is found at the [[Jagged Pass]].
 
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
 
They seem to love mushrooms that grow underground. How they manage to get at them while bouncing is unknown.

A {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Spoink}} first appeared in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]''. The Bounce Pokémon had lost its pearl and {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} helped find the missing pearl. Spoink happened to be a kleptomaniac for anything round (especially round Pokémon) when it didn't have its pearl. The same Spoink appeared again in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]'', where it loses its pearl once again. Ash and his friends go searching for another pearl, but {{TRT}} stole the only {{p|Clamperl}} that had one.
