Pinsir 3/162 · BREAKthrough

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

Pinsir sits at 3/162 in BREAKthrough, position 3 of 165. Before it is 2 Parasect, and after it is 4 Cacnea. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on November 4, 2015. The printed size is 162. This checklist is longer, at 165 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

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."

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 Uncommon. 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 illustrator line reads Satoshi Shirai. I count 50 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

BREAKthrough set binder is where a full BREAKthrough set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pinsir can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
