Using it in a run

Pinsir spreads 500 base stat points. Its strongest stat is Attack (125) and its weakest is Special Attack (55), so the role that fits depends on how the rest of the run covers that gap.

Under the game's real multipliers it takes increased damage from Fire, Flying and Rock. It resists Fighting, Grass and Ground in return. Use that to decide when to circle and when to leave, not to pick a favourite.

Its level-up learnset lists 15 moves; the hardest-hitting is Superpower at 120 power, available at level 52. That is the point where its damage actually changes.
