Template:Pinsir Pinsir (Japanese: カイロス Kairosu) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

They seem to be based on a flat-stag beetle and have long, pricked horns on its head. Its whole body is a light brown with three claws on each toe.

Special abilities

Pinsir can have the ability Hyper Cutter or the ability Mold Breaker. Hyper Cutter prevents reduction of Pinsir's Attack stat. Mold Breaker allows Pinsir to use moves that would otherwise be non-effective because of an ability. A Pinsir's horns can crush many objects and allow it to pick up extremely heavy things. They group up in the winter to keep warm.

Evolution

Pinsir does not evolve, but it does Mega Evolve using its Pinsirite.
