[OVERVIEW]
After finding out his fiancée cheated on him, this once lovable bear became a bar-lingering Berryholic who lives for the bubbling sensation of Berry Juice. The abnormal spots on his body aren't genetic, but rather the stains of beverages on his skin after a long night on the town.
As realized by his partner, there is no real reason to use Spinda over any other Normal-type, although he does have pretty respectable dance moves.

Moves
========
As a Berryholic, it is crucial for Spinda to refill his glass, giving cause for Recycle to be his most important move. After a few drinks, Spinda hits the floor and uses Teeter Dance to display his masculinity for the ladies. When Spinda is matched up against another slobbering Berryholic, he spins around in circles, confusing the foe in front of him, and then proceeds to Dizzy Punch them, although Sucker Punch can be used to get a cheap shot off on a foe. What does a Berryholic do other than all of these things? Karaoke of course! Spinda displays his gifted voice by slurring the words to a song, which usually ends up in the audience falling asleep.
Set Details
========
Berry Juice is the uniform item for all Spinda, as it is a symbol of their despair and nights at the bar, not to mention that it tastes delicious. Tangled Feet describes Spinda's dizzying walk, which is due to overconsumption of his favorite drink. After a few drinks, Spinda can get very sassy, supporting the choice for his nature, while his EV spread represents the fact that Spinda doesn't know what he's doing with his life.
Usage Tips
========
When using Spinda, he must have a Berry Juice supplied at all times, making the use of Recycle the most important of all. However, the real trick to using Spinda is to not use him at all and to leave the adorable Berryholic to sit on the sidelines and work off his hangover.
Team Options
========
As with any bar inhabitant, Spinda requires a designated driver to take him home. Seeing as Spinda doesn't spend his money on anything other than Berry Juice, it doesn't possess a phone and therefore cannot contact Uber (the app, not the tier). This being said, Spinda doesn't have any friends and thus rides on the back on any Pokemon that can carry it. However, the main teammate for Spinda is Tropius, as it harvests the Berries used to make Berry Juice.

Other Options
=============
Seeing as Spinda wobbles all over the place, when he needs to get home, he can use a Stick to steady himself. Whenever Spinda gets in a really bad mood, it can use Psycho Cut on memorabilia from his past relationship. On certain occasions, when Spinda is feeling funky he uses Rapid Spin and showcases his breakdancing skills.
Checks and Counters
===================
**An Empty Wallet**: As the saying goes, "money can buy happiness," although in the case of Spinda, he just buys more Berry Juice. When Spinda can't buy any more Berry Juice, you better be carrying some bear mace.
**A Broken Heart**: After his tragic breakup, whenever Spinda isn't under the trance of Berry Juice his memories from the past fill his mind, causing him to lie in the fetal position and leaving him open to attacks.
