How I'd build a Spoink spread
Spread layout for Spoink, TCG picks to anchor the page, and open artwork you can print for Michi-style scene pockets.
Cards to anchor your spread
TCG picks for collectors — pair these with a printed scene below.
Spoink #59 (Celestial Storm) is a promo worth chasing — alternate art that stands out on any Spoink binder page.
Spoink #41 (Crimson Invasion) is a promo worth chasing — alternate art that stands out on any Spoink binder page.
Spoink #62 (Mega Evolution) is a great option for new collectors — easy to find and display.
Species art references
Character renders for colour matching, pose ideas, and silhouette checks.
Official artwork
Match card holo colours and keep the species silhouette consistent across pockets.
HOME render
Modern pose reference when you want a cleaner, upright character layout.
Dream World vector
Simple line-and-fill shape — handy for tracing pocket placement before you print.
Shiny palette
Alternate colourway for accent pockets or shiny-themed spreads.
Art via PokéAPI/sprites (open source).

Start with a background that echoes Spoink's psychic, then place your chase holo in the top-left anchor slot. Secondary copies can step down in rarity toward the edges so the spread breathes in photos.

Additional tips
- Lead with your strongest Spoink single, then echo it with a secondary spread featuring Grumpig, Ampharos, and Dubwool so the page reads as a story, not a checklist.
- Try a rose pink and fuchsia sleeve story around Spoink's psychic-type identity — mat color does more work than people admit in photos.
- For one showcase spread, print a scene that spans multiple pockets (Michi-style), then nest your favourite Spoink holos around it like a gallery wall.
- At 0.7m / 30.6kg, Spoink sits in a middleweight silhouette band — mix close-up portraits with one environmental wide shot for depth.

Players file Spoink around tier "LC" while Ability Thick Fat (Halves damage from Fire and Ice moves.) shapes the fantasy — chase art that stages that payoff, not just the highest number on the slab.
- Hidden Ability Gluttony is the deep-cut hunt — call it out when you sell or trade so buyers know you are curating, not flipping random holos.
- Psyshock — Damages target based on Defense, not Sp. Def. — Illustration Rares that stage that motion tend to outperform static portraits.

Backstory & Lore
A short write-up on Spoink, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
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.
SPOINK keeps a pearl on top of its head. The pearl functions to amplify this POKéMON’s psychokinetic powers. It is therefore on a constant search for a bigger pearl.
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.
A second dex beat (Leafgreen) frames Spoink as one that apparently dies if it stops bouncing about.. Rotating that line on a sticky note beside the page keeps the spread feeling lived-in.
Spoink shows up in Diamond lore as one that bounces constantly, using its tail like a spring.. When you shop for cards, look for illustrations that lean into that mood instead of generic portrait poses.
