Pinsir is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, released in the Lost Thunder set on November 2, 2018. It has 110 HP and requires two Colorless Energy to retreat. The card features an attack called Grip and Squeeze, which costs one Grass Energy to deal 20 damage and prevents the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent’s next turn. Another attack, Hammer In, demands three Colorless Energy to strike for 70 damage without additional effects. Pinsir’s flavor text highlights its immense strength, noting that a single horn strike can split a large tree and referencing its rivalry with Vikavolt in Alola. The card is classified as Uncommon rarity and is numbered 4 in its set. Its weaknesses include Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. Artist Suwama Chiaki designed the illustration for this card.
