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.
