Classified as a Bug-type Pokémon, Pinsir resembles an upright bipedal stag beetle, with a round brown body and two white pincer horns protruding from the sides of its head, while its mouth is a horizontal row of teeth in the center of its body. While it was at one point intended to receive an evolution in sequel titles Pokémon Gold and Silver, later games Pokémon X and Y introduced the concepts of Mega Evolutions, and with it Mega Pinsir.
