Spoink (Japanese: バネブー Baneboo) is a recurring Pokémon in the anime. Its Japanese seiyū is Miyakō Ito and its English voice actress is Rachael Lillis.

It first appeared in Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend. It had lost its pearl, and Ash and his friends were trying to find it. As it turns out, Team Rocket had found it and had traded it to the Magikarp salesman for a Magikarp. After learning this, the kids confronted the salesman and demanded he give back the pearl. Team Rocket also demanded he give them the pearl back as well. In the ensuing battle, Spoink's pearl was returned and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.

It made its second, and final, appearance in Clamperl of Wisdom. Like the previous time, it had lost its pearl. This time, it was lost in the ocean without any way of retrieving it. But the kids learned from a scientist named Isaiah that Spoink's pearls come from Clamperl. Eventually, the kids found a Clamperl who was willing to give its pearl to Spoink. The kids said goodbye to Spoink, and it hasn't been seen since that episode.

After losing its pearl, Spoink has a habit of using Psychic to move any round objects (and after a while, even not-so-round objects) on its head, much to the dismay of those around it. It developed a friendship with Ash's Torkoal during its adventures with the group. As a result, some fans believed that either Ash or May would capture Spoink. However, this never happened.

Trivia

Even though its Pokédex entries and Mystery Dungeon quotes indicate that if it stops bouncing it will die, there are several occasions in which Spoink is not seen bouncing.
