Pinsir's debut appearance was in Challenge of the Samurai! where he was owned by the Character of the Day, Samurai.

In Pokémon Platinum, swarming is required to catch a Pinsir.

Pokédex Entries
Red
Blue
If it fails to crush the victim in its pincers, it will swing it around and toss it hard.
Yellow
Grips its prey in its pincers and squeezes hard! It can't move if it's cold, so it lives in warm places.
Gold
With its horns, it digs burrows to sleep in at night. In the morning, damp soil clings to its body.
Silver
Swings its long antlers wildly to attack. During cold periods, it hides deep in forests.
Crystal
When the temperature drops at night, it sleeps on treetops or among roots where it is well hidden.
Ruby
Pinsir is astoundingly strong. It can grip a foe weighing twice its weight in its horns and easily lift it. This Pokémon's movements turn sluggish in cold places.
Sapphire
Pinsir has a pair of massive horns. Protruding from the surface of these horns are thorns. These thorns are driven deeply into the foe's body when the pincer closes, making it tough for the foe to escape.
Emerald
Their pincers are strong enough to shatter thick logs. Because they dislike cold, Pinsir burrow and sleep under the ground on chilly nights.
FireRed
Its two long pincer horns are powerful. Once they grip an enemy, they won't release until the foe is torn.
LeafGreen
If it fails to crush the foe in its pincers, it will swing around and toss the opponent.

Pearl
It grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can't tear, it tosses far.
