Mega Pinsir is the Mega Evolved form of Pinsir, one of the original Kanto 150, and makes its debut in Pokémon Go in May 2023 with the start of the A Valorous Hero event.
This one is a fan-favorite thanks to the exclusivity of its build: while its nemesis Scyther may have evolved in Gen 2 with Scizor and a second evolution in Gen 8 with Kleavor, Pinsir comes to dominate it thanks to its rare ability to mega evolve. .
Like all Mega Evolutions, Mega Pinsir cannot be caught directly in Pokémon Go. Instead, you need to keep defeating it in Mega Raids until you’ve collected enough Mega Pinsir energy for its temporary evolution. Thanks to the Summer 2022 Mega Raid rebalance, this can now be done in a Mega Raid if you defeat it quickly enough!
Below you will find Mega Pinsir’s counter attacks and weaknesses that will help you succeed in Pokémon Go; just remember that you need to have a Pinsir in your Pokemon storage to perform its mega evolution.

Cons and weaknesses of Mega Pinsir in Pokémon Go
The fastest way to collect energy from Mega Pinsir is to defeat one in a Mega Raid. Below you will find Mega Pinsir’s counters and weaknesses that will help you achieve this:
- Mega Pinsir Types: Bug and Flying
- Mega Pinsir is weak against: Fire, Flying, Electric, Electric, Ice and Rock (double weak)
- Mega Pinsir is resistant to: fighting, insects and grass.
- Mega Pinsir Mega Counters: Mega Aerodactyl with Rock-type dual attacks will be the stronger option here, given Mega Pinsir’s double weakness to Rocks. But, failing that, Mega Charizard Y or Mega Blaziken running Fire-type attacks, or Mega Aggron with Rock-type double attacks is the way to go.
- Non-Mega Pinsir Counters: Rock is by far the most important thing here because the damage increase when you see the words “double weak” is real. For example, a Rampardos with Smack Down and Rock Slide deals more damage over time than a Mega Charizard Y with Fire Spin and Blast Burn. If you don’t have a Mega Aerodactyl and five Rampardos, you can complete your team with Rhyperior, Terrakion, Tyranitar, Tyrantrum, Gigalith, Aggron, Aurorus, Archeops, Landorus, or a normal Aerodactyl.
- Number of Players to Beat Mega Pinsir: Theoretically, Mega Pinsir can be taken down by a single player if you have a maxed out team of top tier Rock-type attackers. However, this is a lofty goal for most players. As with most Mega Pokémon, three players at level 40 is totally reasonable, and five players at level 30 should be fine, as long as you bring the right Pokémon into battle!
- Tactics: In the immortal words of Queen, we will shake you. Mega Pokemon are always a powerful foe, but Pinsir is on the lower end of the power spectrum and is completely destroyed by Rock-type attacks thanks to its double weakness to Rock-types. If you’re fighting in a group, keep in mind that most players will bring Rock-type Pokémon; If everyone leads with Mega Aerodactyl, they will each buff the others while they’re out (and yes, this effect stacks), which means you can deal a lot of damage with a large group very quickly.
Mega Aerodactyl, Rampardos, and Rhyperior are your top three counters

Everything we know about Pinsir
The Pinsir Deer Pokémon is one of the original Bug-type Pokémon, dating back to Generation 1 and the forests of Kanto. Apart from its Mega Evolution, Pinsir has no known evolutions.

Pinsir was a version-exclusive Pokémon and is the opposite of Scyther; a Pokémon that can’t Mega Evolve, but does branch into Scizor or Kleavor.
The top-down design of this Pokemon and its mega evolution really hit the spot – we love it when Pokemon are closely based on real-world creatures, and Pinsir excels it in this regard, focusing on its gigantic horns. .
- Pinsir:’These Pokémon judge each other with their pincers. Thicker and more impressive clamps generate more popularity among the opposite sex.‘
- Mega Pinsir:’With his much-vaunted horns, he can lift an opponent 10 times heavier than himself and fly with ease.‘
Two things to note there. Pinsir weighs 59 kg (130.1 lbs), which means it can lift just about anything up to the weight of a car (a VW Mini weighs a minimum of 580 kg). That’s a pretty strong bug! Also, it’s also nice to see a Mega Pokemon that isn’t in terrible pain thanks to Mega Evolution, unlike poor Glalie or Salamence. More of this please, Pokémon Company.
Good luck defeating Mega Pinsir in Pokémon Go!
