Grumpig is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. It is the evolved form of Spoink and is #326 in the National Pokédex. Grumpig is a popular choice in competitive Pokémon games as a Trickbander Pokémon, as well as a Special Sponge due to its high Special Defense statistic.
Name origin
The name Grumpig 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.
In the animé
