Pokedex Entries:
RedIf it fails to crush the victim in its pincers, it will swing is around and toss it hard.
Blue
YellowGrips its prey in its pincers and squeezes hard! It can't move if it's cold, so it lives in warm places.
GoldWith its horns, it digs burrows to sleep in at night. In the morning, damp soil clings to its body.
SilverSwings its long antlers wildly to attack. During cold periods, it hides deep in forests.
CrystalWhen the temperature drops at night, it sleeps on treetops or among roots where it is well hidden.
RubyPINSIR is astoundingly strong. It can grip a foe weighing twice its weight in its horns and easily lift it. This POKéMON's movements turn sluggish in cold places.
SapphirePINSIR has a pair of massive horns Protruding from the surface of these horns are thorns. These thorns are driven deeply into the foe's body when the pincer closes, making it tough for the foe to escape.
EmeraldTheir pincers are strong enough to shatter thick logs. Because they dislike cold, PINSIR burrow and sleep under the ground on chilly nights.
FireRedIts two long pincer horns are powerful. Once they grip an enemy, they won't release until the foe is torn.
LeafGreenIf it fails to crush the victim in its pincers, it will swing is around and toss it hard.
DiamondIt grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can't tear, it tosses far.
Pearl
Stadium 1Grips and tears at its enemy with the two pincers on its head. Enemies with hard bodies are gripped and tossed.
Stadium 2With its horns, it digs burrows to sleep in at night. In the morning, damp soil clings to its body.
