GrumpigXY #50 Pokémon Card

Grumpig is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, evolving from Spoink when it reaches level 32. Known as the Manipulate Pokémon, Grumpig uses the black pearls on its body to amplify its psychic powers, allowing it to perform strange dances that manipulate the minds of its foes. These pearls are highly valued, making Grumpig a target for poachers in some regions. Grumpig's natural habitat often includes mountainous areas or caves where it can practice its psychic abilities in solitude. Its diet primarily consists of berries and other plant matter, though it is also known to consume small insects. In the games, Grumpig is often encountered as a powerful special attacker with a decent HP stat, making it a reliable option for in-game teams. Its Psychic typing gives it an advantage against Fighting and Poison types, while being weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark types. In the anime, Grumpig has appeared in various roles, often showcasing its mind-bending abilities, such as in the episode "Going for a Spinda" where a Grumpig uses its powers to help retrieve a lost Spinda. Its unique design, resembling a pig with powerful psychic abilities, contributes to its memorable presence in the Pokémon franchise.
