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.
