Each Spinda’s spot pattern is different. With its stumbling movements, it evades opponents’ attacks brilliantly!
Ultra Moon
Its steps are shaky and stumbling. Walking for a long time makes it feel sick.
Ultra Sun
Each and every Spinda has a slightly different configuration of spots. There are collectors who enjoy the tiny differences in their spot patterns.
Moon
Its steps are staggering and unsteady, but Spinda thinks it’s walking in a straight line.
Sun
The chances of two SPINDA having identical spot patterns is less than one in four billion.
HeartGold · SoulSilver · Y
No two SPINDA have the same pattern of spots. Its tottering step fouls the aim of foes.

FireRed · LeafGreen
It is distinguished by a pattern of spots that is always different. Its unsteady, tottering walk has the effect of fouling its foe’s aim.

Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire
All the SPINDA that exist in the world are said to have utterly unique spot patterns. The shaky, tottering steps of this Pokémon give it the appearance of dancing.
