Pinsir 9/83 · Generations

Generations is a set in the XY series. It was released on February 22, 2016. The printed size is 83. This checklist is longer, at 117 cards. Pinsir is 9/83, in position 9 of 117 on this checklist. Before it is 8 Tangela, and after it is 10 Leafeon-EX. The listed rarity is Rare.

Pinsir is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 100 HP. In the Pokédex this is Pinsir (#127), generation 1 (Kanto).

Satoshi Shirai illustrated this card. The same name is on 50 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 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Satoshi Shirai illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 22 other cards of Pinsir list a different HP.

The attack Overhead Throw lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass. This attack does 20 damage to 1 of your Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Heavy Suplex is another attack lists 40+ damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 20 more damage for each Colorless in your opponent's Active Pokémon's Retreat Cost. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It swings its long antlers wildly to attack. During cold periods, it hides deep in forests."

I keep a set binder for Generations, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Generations 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.
