Spoink Description

Spoink is a Psychic-type Pokemon introduced in Generation 3. It is known for bouncing constantly on its tail and using the pearl on its head to help focus its psychokinetic power.

Competitive Overview

Is Spoink Good in Competitive?

Spoink is usually more limited in competitive play than its evolved form Grumpig, but it can still use Psychic-type moves, support options and special bulk in formats where lower-stage Pokemon are allowed.

Spoink’s biggest strengths are its Special Defense, Psychic-type utility and access to abilities such as Thick Fat and Own Tempo. Its biggest issues are low physical bulk and lower overall stats compared to fully evolved Pokemon.
