 * Although Pinsir was introduced in [[Generation I]] as a pure {{type|Bug}}, it could not learn any Bug-type attacks by level-up until [[Generation IV]], and even then it could only learn one: {{m|X-Scissor}}.
 ** The only Bug-type move it could learn before then (and only in Generations {{Gen|II}} & {{Gen|III}}) was {{m|Fury Cutter}}.
-* Pinsir is the only non-Fighting-type Pokémon to learn {{m|Vital Throw}}.
-** It is also the only non-Fighting-type Pokémon besides {{p|Arceus}} to learn {{m|Seismic Toss}} by level-up (unless Arceus is holding a {{DL|Plate|Fist Plate}}).
 * Pinsir is one of the few non-legendary [[Generation I]] Pokémon that still have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
 * Pinsir can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Scyther}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. Pinsir is exclusive to {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pearl|s}}, while Scyther is exclusive to {{game3|Red and Blue|Red|s}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond|s}}.
 ** Additionally, Pinsir can also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Heracross}}. Both are {{type|Bug}} Pokémon based on beetles who lack an evolutionary family. Unlike Heracross, Pinsir is not part {{type|Fighting}}, however, it learns several Fighting-type moves by leveling up. Also, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], they are [[version exclusives]] in the wild (although both can be found in [[Hidden Grotto]]s in both versions).
-*** Before the release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, it was speculated that {{p|Heracross}} would be a pre-evolution or evolution of Pinsir.
