Spoink (バネブー, Banebū?, Baneboo in original Japanese language versions) is a pig-like Pokémon that leads a bizarre, fragile existence. It possess no hind legs and motion is achieved by bouncing on its spring-like tail, which it needs to do to live, as the constant bouncing is the only way it can keep its heart beating (so it can never stop bouncing, even if it’s asleep). If a Spoink ever stops bouncing, it will instantly die of cardiac arrest. The ball on a Spoink’s head is actually a pearl from a Clamperl, which it not only needs to amplify its psychic powers, but also needs to live, and will desperately search for anything round as a replacement should its pearl end up lost.
