Trivia

  • Pineco looks just like a pinecone, hence the name.
  • Despite resembling a steel pinecone, it is not Steel or Grass type.
  • This Pokémon can learn Earthquake.
  • This Pokémon likes to cover its shell with bark to make it thicker. It hangs practically motionless from a tree branch, and patiently waits for prey like worms.
