#29 Pinsir - Base Set 2 (base4)
Pinsir is a Grass-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It appears in the Base Set 2, released in February 2000, and is illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. The card’s flavor text describes its aggressive behavior, noting that it will toss a victim hard if it cannot crush them with its pincers. Pinsir has two attacks: Irongrip, which costs two Grass energy to deal 20 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Guillotine, requiring four energy (two Grass and two Colorless) to deal 50 damage without additional effects. The card has no abilities or resistances and is classified as Rare. Its weakness to Fire attacks is doubled, making it vulnerable to such types. The card’s theme color is a shade of yellow-green, reflecting its Grass typing.
