Pinsir

Description

This release features Pinsir, a powerful Bug-class creature with 100 hit points, designed to provide strategic depth during gameplay. The Reverse Holo finish adds a unique visual appeal, distinguishing this card within the set while maintaining its Uncommon rarity status. Pinsir’s attack moves offer versatile tactical options for players building their decks. The Grass Overhead Throw attack deals 30 damage to the active Pokémon and inflicts an additional 20 damage to one of the opponent's Benched Pokémon, bypassing standard Weakness and Resistance calculations. This makes it particularly effective against decks that rely heavily on benching strategies. Alternatively, the Heavy Suplex attack deals 40 damage plus an extra 20 damage for each Colorless energy in the opponent's Active Pokémon's Retreat Cost. This mechanic rewards players who can manipulate retreat costs or target Pokémon with high retreat requirements, adding a layer of strategic decision-making to every turn. Designed by Satoshi Shirai, this card captures the essence of Pinsir’s raw power and agility, reflecting the creature’s role as a formidable opponent in the Pokémon universe. Whether you are looking to complete your BREAKthrough collection or add a reliable Grass-type to your competitive deck, this Pinsir card offers both aesthetic and functional value. Its balanced stats and unique attack patterns ensure it remains a relevant and enjoyable part of the Pokémon TCG landscape.
