I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!! but it could be that he temporarily stopped because he's sick in the pokemon center and is receiving treatment. I bet there's a Grumpig specialized in heart rates of pokemon of his kind, his job is to keep spoink's heart rates up while they're not bouncing so that they can be treated when they're sick
This artist usually draws cute things. And now he breaks our heart instead of filling it with joy. Why did the Spoink have to die, uvnono? What did he ever do to anyone?
