[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Pinsir (Japanese: カイロス Kailios) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Pinsir has a brown body with a large pair of white horns that are dotted with small spikes. Pinsir has short legs with three toes each and skinny, three-clawed arms. Its mouth has long, flat teeth that are arranged vertically rather then horizontally. Pinsir is cold-blooded.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Pinsir's horns have enough crushing power to shatter thick logs and allow it to lift things twice its own weight.
Behavior
Pinsir's movements are more sluggish when exposed to cold weather, so they hide in burrows, treetops or tree roots during chilly nights. Pinsir are known to dig holes with their horns to sleep in. However, when they are fully awake, they can be quite aggressive.

- Pinsir is one of the few Generation I Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, Lapras, Tauros, Aerodactyl, and Ditto.
