Spoink (Japanese: バネブー Baneboo; German: Spoink; French: Spoink) is a Psychic-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby
Spoink bounces around on its tail. The shock of its bouncing makes its heart pump. As a result, this Pokémon cannot afford to stop bouncing - if it stops, its heart will stop.
Pokémon Emerald
A Pokémon that manipulates psychic power at will. It doesn't stop bouncing even when it is asleep. It loves eating mushrooms that grow underground.

Name origin

Spoink's name is possibly a combination of spring and oink, the sound a pig makes. Baneboo is probably derived from 発条 bane, spring, and ぶうぶう būbū, the sound of grumbling. The end of its name may also be a shortening of 豚 buta, pig.

It is possible the inspiration for Spoink came from the proverb "do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under your feet." The pearls were supposed to represent wisdom given to an audience who would not appreciate the teachings. Spoink and Grumpig appear to instead use those pearls of wisdom to enhance their mental powers. It is obviously based off a pig
