** Pinsir can also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Heracross}}. Both are Bug-type Pokémon based on beetles and lack an evolutionary family. Pinsir is not part {{t|Fighting}} like Heracross, but it learns several Fighting-type moves by leveling up. Both Pokémon and their [[Mega Stone]]s are version exclusives in {{g|X and Y}}: Pinsir and Pinsirite are exclusive to X while Heracross and Heracronite are exclusive to Y. Each Mega Stone can be found in [[Santalune Forest]] in its respective version. The heights of both Pokémon are the same, even when Mega Evolved.
