CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Spoink constantly bounces on its spring-shaped tail. Each landing makes its heart beat, so stopping for too long would endanger its life. A pearl on its head strengthens its psychic powers; it sometimes seeks a larger one. The Pokédex thus brings together two essential activities: the bouncing that keeps its body active and the search for an object capable of amplifying what it can achieve.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon Omega Ruby directly links Spoink's bouncing to its heartbeat. Pokémon Alpha Sapphire explains that its pearl amplifies its powers and that it seeks a better one. Its incessant movement therefore meets a vital need, while its collecting follows a different ambition.
