Is Pinsir good?

[BeE]

I wanna raise that pkmn.Is it good or bad?

 

[pikapete]

I'd have to say yes. Awesome attack power, swords dance, good range of attacks, the only problem is that it doesn't get STAB on Fighting moves or megahorn, which makes Heracross a better option.

thats really my opinion too.

 

[Clouds]

I know this sounds so nOObish but what is STAB!?

 

[Freakshow]

Same Type Attack Bonus
Pinsir is great, although its outclassed by heracross. But since its pinsir anyway, I'd say go for it

 

[KirbyXD]

Like Tyranitar uses Rock Slide since Tyranitar is a Rock type, the normal damage it would do, would get multiplied by 1.5 I think.

 

[Clouds]

oh that it? i would never have guess. i though it was crtical and super effective! then i thought why wouldnt a pinsir do that lol!

sorry for that lil mistake!

 

[*Groudon*]

i like pinsir, AWESOME attack power

 

[9voltdude]

pinsir is one of the best bug pokemon out there, I was even thinking about raising one.

 

[General Blaze]

I think that Pinser is a good pokemon. It makes a good replacement to the hand-full of people who don't like Heracross. It has great Attack power, and can make a mean Psy. Sweeper. Unfortunatly, It can't learn Megahorn, and it dosen't get STAB from any fighting moves, so Heracross outclasses it as a better pokemon (but Scyther PWNS Heracross any day in my opinion). Still, if you want to raise one, it's your choice.

 

[Polursine]

Bargh! Too bad IMO. Good, but Heracross is better. Intimidate and Hypercutter? Pitious!

 

[Spock]

When you think of it, lots of great bugs are out there, like...
Pinsir
Heracross
Scyther
Scizor
Sheddinja

But, since I's searching for a shiny one, I'd say go for it.

 

[Vaporeon]

I personally would go with Heracross, since it's just such a great pokemon. Pinsir is equal to me, but if it had Megahorn I would use it instead.

 

[IrkenAdolescent]

If you like Oinsir, go for him. If you want a better one, go for Heracross. I'd personally go for Pinsir, since I'm an oldchool Pokemoner (Except for Octillery being one of my favorite >.<). Pinsir would be cooler if he had an evolution.

 

[BeE]

Thanks,but I can't reach to the other islands because I can't defeat Elite 4.Also,is Poliwrath good?

 

[Polursine]

Poliwrath? Meh. Water/Fighting meh. There are better Fighters and Water Pokemon out there, mix and match!

 

[IrkenAdolescent]

I used Poliwrath for probably half the game, but then switched for Lapras. You don't really need a fighting type for the elite four, except for Tyranitar on your second run through. Even then I didn't use a Fighting, so i guess it's up to you if you want to use Poliwrath or not.

 

[ZNtelle]

Poliwrath is meh. It could've been better if it had better type combination and a better movepool, but InGame it suffices as a fighter, though better alternatives such as Machamp exist.

 

[BeE]

I'm playing on the PC with VBA.I can't trade so...do you know how to trade on VBA?

 

[Altmer]

Pinsir is pretty good, gets swords dance, earthquake, rock slide, focus punch, he is outclassed by heracross because he gets no good stab move... Pinsir needs Megahorn...
