8. Every Spinda Is Unique

Not many people remember Spinda - it isn't very powerful and it isn't very rare, but it is pretty cute. Spinda are special though, because every single one of them is different.

From when it was first introduced in Ruby and Sapphire, the games have mentioned that no two Spinda have the same pattern of spots. And if you look closely, you'll see that it's true - every Spinda you encounter in-game has a slightly different pattern to all the others. In other words, Game Freak programmed each Spinda in the game to be different from the rest, which is an insane amount of detail.

How many different combinations are there? Well, research suggests that there's 4,294,967,295 different possibilities for Spinda markings. And if you include shinies, that number doubles.

Better get started catching that lot, then.
