Spinda (Japanese: パッチール Patcheel) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Spinda is a bipedal, red panda Pokémon with rabbit-like features. Its eyes are made of two black spirals, which point in the opposite direction to each other. There is a similar swirling pattern on its ears. It has a small body with short stumpy arms and legs, and its coat is primarily cream-colored. Its arms are red and it has a red stripe bordering along the bottom of its belly, as well as two small spots on the soles of its feet. It has four spots, which can appear anywhere on its face and ears, with a fifth on the back of its head. These spot patterns are different for each and every Spinda.
It has dizzying, confusing, and scattering dance-like movements, though it thinks it is walking in a straight line. These movements confuse their opponents and make it difficult for them to aim at it. Prior to Generation V, Teeter Dance was its signature move. It lives in the mountains.
In the anime

Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team: One day, a Spinda appears in Pokémon Square and collapses. When it regains consciousness, Spinda explains that it is giving up a long journey to find the Mirage Pokémon and hands its one clue, the Clear Wing, to the player. The player must then solve the Mystery of the Mirage Pokémon, which will reward them with the Rainbow Wing. Upon showing the Rainbow Wing to Spinda, or talking to Spinda as Ho-Oh, it becomes happy and leaves Pokémon Square.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: Spinda runs Spinda's café and takes over the juice bar. A Wynaut and a Wobbuffet also work at the café running the recycle shop. Later in the game, Project P is introduced. After it is introduced, occasionally when speaking to Wynaut the player may gain access to a dungeon normally accessed by selecting a job with ??? as the location or get a choice of more items in the recycle shop.

Pattern examples
Trivia
- In Pokémon Battle Revolution, Toxic is depicted as two purple orbs spinning around each other towards the target. However, when Spinda uses Toxic, the orbs travel erratically. The same animation is used for Carnivine.
- Some of Spinda's Pokédex entries mention the odds of two Spinda having the same spot pattern as less than one in four billion. Since Spinda's spots are based on its personality value, (or encryption constant in later games), which is a 32-bit number, a simplistic model would put the odds at 1 in 4,294,967,296, which is indeed smaller than one in four billion; however, it is actually possible for two personality values to produce spot patterns that are visually identical, so the real odds are somewhat higher.
- Using this app, it can be found that two dots have 256 distinct locations, one dot has 254, and one dot has 237, counting all locations where the dot is entirely off-sprite as the same. This results in a total of 3,945,136,128 patterns. However, even this total is slightly too high, because if the upper left dot is far enough down and to the right, it can entirely eclipse the lower-left dot, resulting in a few more patterns being indistinguishable. Compare, for example, 0x0E07F5FB and 0x0EF0F5FB.
- The fewest spots a Spinda can visibly have is 1 - the sprite's leftmost spots can land entirely off the sprite, while the rightmost spots cannot, but instead can entirely overlap.
- In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, due to a bug this value is interpreted as big-endian, causing the spot pattern to be rendered incorrectly. As an example, a value of
12345678
(hexadecimal) would be interpreted as 78563412
instead.[1]
- Unlike other Pokémon with no gender differences, the Rotom Pokédex does not display a single model for both male and female Spinda, but rather a separate one for each. The models used are whatever the first patterns caught of each gender were.
- The Pokédex preview models for each gender, however, will always be a set model that will likely differ from the model the player will see.
- Like Whirlipede, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it and Whirlipede usually spin in circles, which are 360 degrees.
- Spinda is the only Pokémon obtainable in Pokémon GO that cannot have the GO icon as its origin mark.
- Spinda's Pokémon Sun Pokédex entry states that Spinda believe they walk in straight lines, oblivious to their teetering gait. However, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, an NPC Spinda will tell the player; "When I walk, I always totter.", clearly being aware of this trait.
- Pokémon HOME cannot transfer Spinda into or out of Pokémon GO or Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, because of inconsistencies in how its spot pattern works.
- In Pokémon GO, Spinda has nine predetermined forms rather than random patterns.
- In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, this is due to a bug in the game, which causes the encryption constant to be read as a big-endian value (i.e. bytes are read in reverse order), and would allow the possibility to indirectly change Spinda's spot pattern. Spinda is the only Pokémon that cannot be transferred out of these games.
Origin
Spinda appears to be based on a Qinling panda with traits of rabbits. It also resembles a teddy bear or other stuffed toy.
Name origin
Spinda may be a combination of spin and panda.
Patcheel may be a combination of patch and reel (to lose one's balance).
