Pinsir 59/132 · Secret Wonders

Secret Wonders is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on November 1, 2007. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. Pinsir is 59/132, in position 59 of 132 on this checklist. Before it is 58 Pidgeotto, and after it is 60 Quagsire. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Pinsir is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 30. In the Pokédex this is Pinsir (#127), generation 1 (Kanto).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Pinsir (#127) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Pinsir 9/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 22 other cards of Pinsir list a different HP.

The attack Grip and Squeeze lists 20 damage. The cost is Grass. The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn. Power Guillotine is another attack lists 100 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. If either of them is tails, this attack's base damage is 10 instead of 100. Weakness is Fire +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can't tear, it tosses far."

I keep a set binder for Secret Wonders, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Secret Wonders set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pinsir can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
