[OVERVIEW]
Spoink is an unviable Pokemon in the LC meta due to how outclassed it finds itself. There is very little reason to use it over Abra or even Solosis, as they are far more initially threatening. It does, however, have a minuscule niche as a bulky Calm Mind wallbreaker, differentiating itself from its competition thanks to its added bulk, although its low Speed leaves it struggling against faster threats, and in most cases it's far easier just to use Abra over it.

[SET COMMENTS]
Spoink should use its extra bulk to set up against Pokemon that cannot threaten it such as Focus Sash Abra and Amaura, and use its boosts to try wallbreaking. However, Abra's higher offensive presence from the get-go makes it very hard to justify running Spoink on any serious team. Even if it does manage to set up, its mediocre Speed will leave it easily revenge killed by a faster Pokemon
