Pinsir (Japanese: カイロス Kailios) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Pinsir has a brown body with a large pair of white horns that are dotted with small spikes. Pinsir has short legs with three toes each and skinny, three-clawed arms. Its mouth has long, flat teeth that are arranged vertically rather then horizontally. Pinsir is cold-blooded.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Pinsir's horns have enough crushing power to shatter thick logs and allow it to lift things twice its own weight.
Behavior
Pinsir's movements are more sluggish when exposed to cold weather, so they hide in burrows, treetops or tree roots during chilly nights. Pinsir are known to dig holes to sleep in by using their horns to dig. However, when they are fully awake, they can be quite aggressive.
Habitat
Pinsir are mostly found in jungle-like areas, but have also been imported into Kanto's Safari Zone. They are also found in the National Park of Johto during the bug-contest
Diet

Trivia
- Although Pinsir was introduced in Generation I as a pure Template:Type2, it could not learn any Bug-type attacks by level-up until Generation IV.
- Before the release of Gold and Silver, it was speculated that Heracross would be a pre-evolution or evolution of Pinsir.
- Pinsir has the highest Attack and Defense of all Generation I Bug-types.
- Pinsir is currently the only non-Fighting-type Pokémon to learn Submission.
- Pinsir is one of the few Generation I Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, Lapras, Tauros, Aerodactyl, and Ditto.
Origin
It is based on a stag beetle.
Name origin
Pinsir's name is a corruption of pincer, referring to the claws on its head. Its Japanese name may be based on 傀 kai, large, or 魁偉 kaii, brawny. It could also be a combination of the Japanese 刈 kai, cut, and the Greek word for bug, κοριός korios.
