Spinda (Japanese: パッチール Patcheel) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon. Spinda's spots have over 4 billion possible combinations, and are determined by its personality value.

Biology

Physiology

No Spinda is the same as another. All Spinda have different spots and spin patterns on their head and torso. Spinda resembles a small, upward standing rabbit or bear-like creature, with a small body similar, only slightly more bloated, to Plusle or Minun.

Gender differences

Although there is no specific difference among males and females, all Spinda look different anyway.

Special abilities

Spinda can have the ability Own Tempo, which prevents confusion.

Spinda is the only Pokémon that learns Teeter Dance.

Behavior

Spinda have the odd habit of staggering around when they walk. This makes them appear dizzy, but they are not. The teetering walk helps to confuse enemies and potential predators, messing up their aim.
