* Some of Spinda's Pokédex entries mention the odds of two Spinda having the same spot pattern as less than one in four billion. Since Spinda's spots are based on its [[personality value]] (a 32-bit number), a simplistic model would put the odds at 1 in 4,294,967,295, which is indeed smaller than one in four billion; however, it is actually possible for two personality values to produce spot patterns that are visually identical, so the real odds are somewhat higher. | * Some of Spinda's Pokédex entries mention the odds of two Spinda having the same spot pattern as less than one in four billion.

** Using [http://pokemon.thundaga.com/spinda/Spinda%20Painter.htm this app], it can be found that two dots have 256 distinct locations, one dot has 254, and one dot has 237, counting all locations where the dot is entirely off-sprite as the same. This results in a total of 3,945,136,128 patterns. However, even this total is slightly too high, because if the upper left dot is far enough down and to the right, it can entirely eclipse the lower left dot, resulting in a few more patterns being indistinguishable. Compare, for example, 0x0E07F5FB and 0x0EF0F5FB. | ** Using [http://pokemon.thundaga.com/spinda/Spinda%20Painter.htm this app], it can be found that two dots have 256 distinct locations, one dot has 254, and one dot has 237, counting all locations where the dot is entirely off-sprite as the same.

* Unlike other Pokémon with no [[gender differences]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] does not display a single model for both male and female Spinda, but rather a separate one for each. | * Unlike other Pokémon with no [[gender differences]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] does not display a single model for both male and female Spinda, but rather a separate one for each. The models used are whatever the first patterns caught of each gender were. | ||
** The Pokédex preview models for each gender, however, will always be a set model that will likely differ from the model the player will see. | |||
* Like Whirlipede, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it and Whirlipede usually spin in circles, which are 360 degrees. | * Like Whirlipede, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it and Whirlipede usually spin in circles, which are 360 degrees. | ||
