I'm in Oregon and missed a Pinsir tonight : (
Got a Pinsir with Rock Smash as Fast
I've got one with fury cutter as its Fast and submission as Charge
Fast: Rock Smash
Charge: Submission
Rock Smash and Fury Cutter confirmed as fast moves, so far.
I have a Pinsir with Fury Cutter and Vice Grip.
I just caught one in New Jersey with Rock smash and X-Scissor
I caught one in Solana Beach yesterday. Someone was using incense. Fury cutter and vice grip.
Mine has Fury Cutter and X-Scissor
I can confirm it doesn't evolve.that info it's wrong
I got one with Rock smash and vice grip. Georgetown, KY.
Fury Cutter is a must have as your fast attack, due to STAB (same type attack bonus, x1.25) and high energy generation, it's miles better than the atrocious Rock Smash.
Submission can be useful at times, but due to the Pokemon Go mechanics of super effective attacks only doing x1.25 the damage (so as much as STAB), X-Scissor is the better option overall.
During a normal cycle of 3.3 seconds (3x Fury Cutter, 1x X-Scissor) Pinsir dishes out 11.8 DPS. Combine this with Pinsir's average CP and overall it's just an average mon.
I just started playing and this was my 3rd ever pokemon i had caught... I guess i was lucky...
Living in Western Australia regional. I got tthree, one with rock smash 5 and x-scissor 30
This pokemon is junk. Too many fire pokemon out there and not enough dark/grass/psychic.
Got tons from Japan on holiday one was 800
I found one sitting at my computer desk. My phone started to vibrate, and there it was. Easy catch. I was surprised that such a rare pokemon popped right in front of me.
Doing the math myself, Pinsir's best moveset is actually Fury Cutter with X-Scissor. Even though Fury cutter has lower dps, it provides more energy (12 v 7), enabling his fantastic charge attack more often.
His sustained DPS (considering both moves) with Fury Cutter and X-Scissor is 16.89. With Rock smash and X-Scissor, it is 13.09. The difference is actually pretty big.
Yay, got mine with Fury Cutter and X-scissor
Hatched one in Boise ID with 818 CP, Rock Smash and X-Scissor
Yes, agreed that fury cutter is much better on offense. Rock Smash is better on defense. He spawns in my area like pidgeys (Hudson County NJ) so I have 5 of them 1300-1700 and a whopping 326 candy
The problem is he's just not very good. I guess he's useful against Exeggcutor or Slowbro but that's pretty much it. Bug moves being bad against Fairy/Fire/Flying/Poison pretty much covers the top 80% of gym defenders. Hopefully he gets more useful in future updates as they add in dark mons, and more psychic mons.
He's pretty easy to catch, though. So there's that...
Got one at LVL 20, CP 1154...
2 seen, 1 caught in SE Denver. The one I caught is 532 CP, Fury Cutter & Vice Grip for moves.
I hate all of mine. They're all over the place in northern Delaware. Caught an "amazing" 1283 the other night right after I'd caught a great one and 45 candies in addition. Then i hatched a "strong" 1000 from a 10k egg 3 days later. Stomped my feet about. Only advice i have is that they're all over my residential area, which is surrounded by state parks and nays reserves, and they're mostly caught at night when i am hunting clefairies or clefables.
I've only seen and caught it in the wild once, and hatched at least 4, I currently have 5 Pinsir, all suck, only 1 stat-exceeding wonder(mystic) /high IV one, all with bad movesets(Pinsir knows no good moves?!). 4/5 have rock smash fast move, the one with fury cutter knows vice grip. I hope that eventually Niantic gets Mega evolutions in, so I can hopefully make one of these into something nice!
They buffed him to try to take out snorlax. Think about it, earthquake weak against it, maxes out at 2700 CP with rock smash and submission super effective against him then he doesn't die to zen head butt like every other fighting guy.
I just caught a Pinsir with Close Combat??? Is this a glitch, should I report it?
Just caught with rock smash and close combat cp1971 lvl30
I live in NE Wisconsin. Never seen one in the wild and only one I've seen at a gym the trainer said came from a 10K egg. See tons of Taurus tho.
This is a great mon for eggs. In ga eggs make up a large part of the def. i am looking for a second bug type so its another pinser or syther
I got 35 pinsirs today.. how ??? Im from the netherlands amsterdam btw
2nd Best fighting Pokémon in my opinion worth the stardust!Yuma AZ
