• Large, round eyes and a small snout
• A pink pearl sits atop its head, which is crucial for its psychic abilities

Behavior and Habitat:

• Typically found in mountainous regions and caves
• The pearl on its head amplifies its psychic powers, and Spoink bounces to keep its heart beating

• Notable moves include Psybeam, Psychic, and Zen Headbutt
• Effective against Fighting and Poison types

Interesting Facts:
