Spoink

Spoink (Japanese: バネブー, HepburnBanebuu) (SPOINK[1]) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Spoink has a gray, oval-shaped body, with two stubby arms. It has two small ears that hold up a pearl on its head. It has a long, coiled tail that it uses like a spring. It has quite a simple face, with two small, bead-like eyes, pink ovals on its cheeks, and a snout.

Behavior

A Spoink is always bouncing on its tail to make its heart beat. If it were to stop, so would its heart. The pearl on its head, which is from a Clamperl, serves as a psychokinetic amplifier, and the bigger the pearl, the more power, so any Spoink is always searching for a bigger, better pearl. They have a diet mostly consisting of underground mushrooms.

Spoink possess mild powers of manipulation, persuading other Pokémon to dig them for them in return for a share of the meal. If Spoink drop their pearls, they grow tired and lose their abilities. They also will bounce more erratically without the extra weight. They will therefore compulsively steal round objects and place them on their heads until they can find new pearls.

Evolution

Spoink evolves into Grumpig by level up starting at level 32.

    Appearances

    Anime

    Ash, May, Max, and Brock once helped a Spoink who had lost its pearl. When they found the pearl, the Spoink used its psychic abilities to levitate the pearl back onto its head. Also, in XY, Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie see Spoink being controlled by Grumpig in the episode, XY063:_An_Oasis_of_Hope!.

    Trivia

    • The Pokédex says that if Spoink stops jumping, it dies, but in the anime, Spoink is shown to stop jumping many times and stay alive.
      • However, the Pokédex may be referring to an extended period of time.
    • Its name is very similar to the Yo-kai Watch Boss Yo-kai Sproink.

    Origin

    Spoink appears to be based on the idiom "neither cast ye your pearls before swine". The pearls in the phrase are meant to represent knowledge, which is incorporated into how Spoink uses its pearl to use psychic abilities. It also bears some resemblance to an orbuculum.

    Etymology

    Spoink is a combination of the words spring and oink.

    Banebuu is a combination of 発条 bane (spring) and ブーブー būbū (the sound of grumbling or oinking).
