Grumpig is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. It is the evolution of Spoink and resembles a bipedal pig with a coiled tail.

Name origin

Its name is a portmanteau of grumpy and pig.

Biology

Grumpig is a purple, bipedal pig-like Pokémon which wields powerful psychic powers. It uses the valuable black pearls on its body to harness and amplify its psychic powers. It can gain total control over its foes by expulsing psychic waves upon them. It appears to grow tired as it does this; its nose-snorting grows loud and sounds tired.

It dances bizarrely when using its psychic energy. Its style of dancing is hugely popular in many foreign countries. It is also capable of bouncing great heights with its spring-like tail.

In the video games

In order to be obtained, Grumpig must be evolved from Spoink at level 32.

Grumpig is known as one of the Trickbander Pokémon. A Trickbander is a Pokémon which, in battle, holds a Choice Band item and has the Trick attack in its movelist. The Trickbander uses Trick to give the foe Choice Band, hence only allowing the foe to use 1 attack.
