DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth. Now Popular does not mean official even though two of the formats I will be covering were official formats being Japan Nintendo Cup and VGC, but it is an indicator of what a good portion of competitive players thought was “optimal” at the time. Also sometimes the Pokemon Battle Historia doesn't provide enough information to talk about certain Pokemon so I add Smogon analysis to make sense of it. This is pretty rare though.
To the people asking why I don't cover Smogon Singles for Gens 1 and 2: It wouldn't really be a history video if I covered those because online Smogon gen 1 meta to my knowledge wasn't actually played until late 2000s. I wanted to cover tournaments/competitive battling that was actually played during the early years of Pokemon (late 90s).
To the people asking why I cover Smogon at all for singles: To my knowledge, Smogon was the most popular format for Gens 3-5 and held a number of tournaments throughout the years. As for Gen 6, I am not covering Battle Spot Singles because there is more information and explanations about sets being used relative to their own meta on Smogon. In other words, there are few written analyses about Battle Spot Pokemon besides the Top tiers and I would like to avoid theorycrafting because it may have a hint of bias (though I theorycraft if I REALLY couldn't find information on a certain Pokemon). The keyword here is explanations. Though I did find statistics of most Pokemon used and most moves used, there wasn't really any explanations on why. Also the few Pokemon I did find analysis of for Top Tier Battle Spot Singles had very similar move sets to the Smogon OU sets anyway.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent and I will not fault you for using evasion or whatever, I just like examining popular tournament formats.

I feel bad for gen 1 pinsir. It was so close to perfection. All it needed was one good bug attacking move
If it got that it would be the only actual threat to psychic pokemon
This one little change would make the gen 1 meta a whole lot different
Or if bug resisted psychic it would also help it.
Strangely enough, even on newer gens Pinsir still didnt learn almost no bug moves (starting with gen 4 he gets a few but still not enough). He is almost like a bug fighter.
Ye, same with gen 2.
x-scissor/u-turn would absolutely change gen 1 completely
Not really. Gengar still owns it.

Pinsir‘s Gen 4 and 5 sprites are amongst the coolest sprites in Pokemon history don’t you think? Pinsir‘s pose is just so epic!
Team Skull Boss Golisopod Rayquaza would like to have a word with you.
Honestly, I've always thought those sprites were among Pinsir's weaker ones. The way it seems to be leaning slightly backwards looks a bit awkward to me.
The gen 4 and 5 sprites are always the best, even better than the 3D ones
@@OfficialPikadex You just had to be that guy....
Yeah, i prefer that more dinamic animation of gen 5 rather than the idle animation in 6. Look at lucario, garchomp or cresselia for example
Last time i was this early Poison was still super effective against Bug types
It's not super effective anymore?
@@woofle1554 Not beyond gen 1.
Bug was also super-effective against Poison. They were super-effective against each other, which is odd
@@jcwynn4075 i guess bug was super effective against poison because poison was the "evil" type in gen 1, until dark replaced it in gen 2
@@Yominication that may answer why gengar is poison-ghost type
If it had U-Turn it wouldve been definite OU material since gen 6 *cries in bugtype without U-Turn*
ehhhh..... maybe. our good friends the sneaky pebbles make it a bit hard to run that. with good support, anything is possible, but as soon as the removals are gone and the rocks are still up, you arent u turning very much.
@@pikminman13 agreed. Mega beedrill matches the role of a fast, strong u-turner better anyways (well without instant speed boost not as much) Pinsir= more bulk and more reliable coverage (aerilate return, close combat and ea hit most of the metagame), while beedrill... has adaptability and a slightly less severe weakness to our wonderful pebbles. So U-turning around on slower low hp mons is a good way to keep momentum / revenge kill or get a good dent into a wall (unless the name is skarm/zapdos w. rocky helmet) and make it set-up fodder for another mon.
But we need less u-turn not more. So its nice.
It..it has been OU since Gen 6...

@@Mitjitsu Mega-Pinsir
@@Mitjitsu when Heracross and its mega are so much worse than mega Pinsir lmfao-
@@e-duh3529 Well they're both UUBL so it can't be "much worse". Even so Heraross is still more reliable considering mega-heracorss takes 50% from stealth rocks..
@@jayanths1221 mega hera kinda sucks, it's not fast enough and that hurts it a lot. Pinsir has STAB priority which after SD becomes deadly, and is also just quite fast. Basically, Pinsir is gonna come up once and it is sure that it'll mess up the opponent's team or even destroy it completely.
4:22
Imagine that running out of a bush at you (with Detective Pikachu hyper-realistic features)
Mega Pinsir: Cackles demonically in Flowey while blindly hurtling itself through the air.
No thank you Sir.
Worst if it was a mega
I'm so mad that Pinsir doesn't know Megahorn! Just looking at it's 2 huge horns always makes me think it has Megahorn. But NO!! It had to rely on Hidden Power and later X-Scissor. That's just too damn sad for the stag beetle.
It's Megahorn not Megahorns.
Vice grip should have been a bug move which does critical hit, much like acrobatics. It should have been his signature move
Not horns they are pinsirs. Basicly jaws so whoudnt make much sense. Mayny crunch or Bite whould.
@@draw2death421true
Pinsir went from being overshadowed by Heracross to being superior (OU) vs (UUBl), the tables have turned.
The one true mascot I see.
Mega Pinsir should definitely be UUBL in my mind, it’s got pretty low usage rate and isn’t that great of a sweeper imo. One SD plus Quick Attack doesn’t take out a lot of OU staples such as Zapdos, Ferrothorn and Toxapex. Toxapex and Ferrothorn are obviously hit by other common attacks, but it’s a guessing game with either Earthquake and Close Combat. If you have one but not the other, then you’re screwed.
RIP Mega Pinsir in OU.
Me: reads the comments to this comment
*Oh how the turn tables*
The saying is ”how the turntables”
Is it just me or did that Snorlax enjoyed the Mega Horn from the Heracross?
2:13
Bruhhhhhhh
Dude....
There are some things which are better left unsaid
R34 artists: *oh yeah, its big brain time*
Kha0s Games oh no
Real talk, Pinsir should have been a Bug/Ground type. It would have just fit on many levels and given us a unique, fully evolved Bug/Ground type. Working as a counterpart to Scyther in gen I and giving it some more flavor as a counterpart to Heracross. Instead it always came off as a poor-man's Heracross, with some decent Fighting type coverage, but without the STAB to really give it some oomph.
At this point, with the mega evolution going in the opposite direction it probably wouldn't work, oh well. I can dream of Mold Breaker STAB EQ with that great attack stat. Aerilate + Quick Attack is neat though and I do like that. It just sucks that Salamence basically outclassed it, later in the same generation that had introduced the mega.
Mega Salamence is one of those mega killers,
Every other Dragon or Flying type mega except Garchomp and maybe Altaria just couldn't match the shear ridiculousness of Salamence.
no one remembers this but in Pokemon Stadium 2 there's a Mini game where Scyther and Pinsir both appearing in some Log Cutter game.
That game was fun
Everyone remembers that. It was one of the only good mini games.
My favourite mini game from that game lol
•Vï •Mo• I don't Think everyone because False Swipe Gaming didn't even put it in the video but its a memorable game for
me
Also this means all the gen 1 and 2 megas are covered 🎉
Yes.
My most fond memory of Pinsir is getting my ass kicked by a 1 HP, swords danced monster that made the Battle subway even more hellish
got ended by a scarfed guillotine pinsir in battle tree
@@hecatomb1864 only unaware and Skarmory can be used in the Battle Subway tho as Megas and Ultra Beasts was not in gen 5.
@@hecatomb1864 No it didn't. The Battle Subway was gen 5 and Celesteela was an Ultra Beast so it's gen 7.
It can easily deal with it now but it wasn't available to OP when he had to deal with it.
For some people is just so easy to come and say "use this" or "use that" knowing that the mons are random and you can only choose 3 for dozen or hundred of battles.
hecatomb makes no sense because you were clearly telling him to use a mon not in his gen lmao.
Pinsir always looked badass since GSC thanks for the video cant wait til next weeks
WHAT
SINCE WHEN DID PINSIR LEARN STEALTH ROCK
W H A T
Sigh man, too bad it doesn't have it's Mega anymore. A Bug/Flying Type with Stealth Rock is hilarious.
So hilarious it gives me the urge to cackle demonically while hurtling myself through the air.
@@tylertichoc7330 everybody gangsta till they swap into a pokemon with magic bounce
@@gojirarex5138 Cinderace with court change: OBJECTION
@@Azzie-z3b taunt: im gonna stop you right there
Just wondering, does Pinsir's Mold Breaker prevent Magic bounce from activating?
Finally! I’ve been asking forever! Thank you
I always find it funny that the weather wars took place AFTER gen III, where the mascot legendaries were about the forces of nature.
Your intro has grown on me! I'd love to see your analyses of specific competitive strategies, cores, moves, abilities, etc. in addition to your usual content. Loyal and happy subscriber here - thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos. It really shows.
Pinsir has always been my third favorite Pokemon. One of the coolest.
Edit: also imagine if it had U-turn and Extremespeed instead of Quick attack as its only priority
M-Pinsir would be at least A tier in OU if it got E-Speed
Quick Attack isn't its only priority. Pinsir can learn Feint, but nobody really talks about that.
Imagine mega salemance with extreme speed. Imagine Mega glalie with E speed. Imagine Mega Altaria with Extreme speed.
@@ActualTrash8 Mix and mega: am i a joke to you?
@@shudeepta yes
I remember when Mega Pinsir was first revealed and there were a few who said it would never see play because it's Bug/Flying. Lol it's awesome to see they were wrong and it was very powerful.
"It's ya boi D!ckpinch"
Haudunn lol
@@Gamerjuana Haydunn - innovating nicknames since gen 4
Still think Pinsir's mega looks really weird, but it deserved the boost after getting denied an evolution and living in Heracross's shadow.
it‘s still kinda in his shadow
It was more in Scythers shadow, Scyther is pretty much the reason Pinsir never got an evolution since people liked him more.
Mega Salamence should've gotten something like Shear Force instead of Aerialate,
Because let's be honest Salamence didn't need to have a better ability to take Pinsir's spot.
I actually like Pinsir. I sure hope its fate in competitive battling was different than my boy Electivire.
M Silvestre If you don’t know too much about pinsir’s later gen 6 and 7 history I’ll just say you’ll be pleasantly surprised lol. He’s a monster
@@donovanmc3227 Yay :D
Underrated Sweeper in first three gens and OU sweeper in G6 beyond. Pretty much only a mediocre Pokemon in two gens.

@@thesubinion Thank you! Most people don't understand
Mega pinsir was so fun to use when I still played Pokémon showdown. I’d get a swords dance off whenever possible, quick attack before mega evolving for another +1 boost having moxie, and usually I’d completely sweep
I've been waiting so long for this and I'm glad Pinsir has coverage on FSG.
Fun Fact: The Bug trio, Pinsir, Heracross and Scizor all have a ×4 weakness (if Pinsir is Mega) different to each other.
What do you mean exactly by “each other”?
@@alexbluecyndaquil he means none of their weaknesses are the same. Scizor is weak to Fire, Mega Pinsir - Rock, and Heracross - Flying.
He just worded it very oddly.
@@volcanolord100 better wording there is...
Mega pinsir, Scizor and Heracross are x4 weak to a certain type different to one another.
@@MisterSleep1123 Are the types different, or the Pokemon?
Just pulling your leg. :D
@@weaponizedemoticon1131 m-pinsir: rock

I'm so glad he's here, I love him so much
Hey, good job! You didn’t butcher any names! 👏👏👏

@@kazoorion7993 Yeah, but you have to use her Ross in our anyway.
Now their both in UUBL
dudes mega pinsir is now in uubl to
@@ralphmarges2965 :0 its almost as if tier shifts exist
I am actually surprised Pinsir did better than I thought. I thought it was pretty irrelevant until Gen 6. Still, I quite like Pinsir -- even before its mega evolution.
Honestly, it is pretty underrated. I remember using it in a hgss run, it got the job done. I love it even more now. I still prefer Heracross, but it is a great bug.
I always thought it’d be interesting if Pinsir, Heracross & Scyther all shared a pre evolution, sort of like how Tyrogue could evolve into either Htimonchan, Hitmonlee or Hitmontop?
i love this pokemon. thank you for making a vid on it
As always great video
I always liked Pinsir's design, easily one of the best.
M-Pinsir is easily my favorite Mega Evolution. So powerful and it looks awesome. I wish regular Pinsir was at least close to that power
Hot diggity damn! That first Pokemon Blue clip is mine. I love your videos, man. :) It's a privilege to know you've seen some of my stuff.
Pinsit after getting it's mega: "you see heracross, you aren't dealing with the average pinsir anymore..."
Finally, beetle got his wings working and become more of a threat :)
Sometimes I forget Pinsir even has a Mega
If you frequent Pokemon Showdown or just online play, probably you wouldn’t forget it.
Pinsir is a pretty popular choice today as a Mega Slot
Probably because when people want a Mega bug Pokemon on their team, they usually first consider Scizor
Sebarsh Thumbadoo that and Tapu Koko being EVERYWHERE doesn’t really help it. But despite all of that, I still see Mega Pinsir a lot in Showdown Ou
Sebarsh Thumbadoo my choice is always Beedrill
Sebarsh Thumbadoo For me it’s just because Pinsir is already a forgettable Pokémon, and it’s Mega really isn’t that special to make me remember it. Same with Steelix. I always have to remind myself that he has a Mega.
one interesting thing about mega pinser is it's one of the very few pokemon if not the only one which can feint ghost types
You always make me want to train and use the Pokemon you talk about
Like Torterra I'd expect Pinsir to do pretty poorly pre gen 6, but it's nice to know it did something in the lower tiers, I also didn't know it got access to Stealth Rock. Interesting
Man, I would love to see an alternate reality where Pinsir got that GSC evolution. I wonder how much would have changed?
I dropped Pokémon almost a year ago but damn watching your vids make me want to go back and continue to breed the whole pokédex.
You guys really deserve more subs
Used some Pinsir in Gen 1. Terrific experience
If X-scissor just existed in Gen 1, Pinsir could of been top OU as a potential psychic Pokémon killer
@@TheNadroj10 Even if he learn the two most powerful bug moves that existed: twinnedle and pin missile with 125 attack stab would help killing psychics since they have low defense.
I'd buff base Pinsir, and by extension Mega Pinsir, with a stat increase. +10 Speed and +10 HP, since it's attack stat is already great. Making it Bug/Ground in its base form would also be a cool change, since it removes a SR weakness, is a very synergistic typing, and can potentially mindgame opponents with its mega stone. It's also fairly thematic with its Pokedex description.
Coincidentally good time to feature Pinsir, considering there's a certain remodel of Gen 6 Bird Spam that also was posted today (on Smogon's RMT forum) for the current Gen 7 meta.
My mono bug team used "speed boost, swordsdance, Ninjask with focus sash" to baton pass into Either MPinsir or Heracross for a power sweep. Usually worked out great.
Granbull would be an interesting analysis, I would like to know how it's change to Fairy-type effected it.
FALCON HYPE
MA DUDE UPLOADED . LETS GOOOO
I'm always hunting for Pinsirs in Pokemon Go because I'm hoping they will add mega evolution to the game. It's design is so rad. Plus I have two shinies :)
Thanks for the video!
We can't talk about Pinsir without mentioning that infamous scene in the anime with that Pinsir and Ash's Metapod.
In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga, there was a nightmare fuel Pinsir that straight up ripped apart wild pikachu with its creepy ass mouth
What happened in the scene?
@@solidzack It was the fourth episode a samurai kid challenged Ash to a battle. Ash sent out Metapod, the kid sent out a Pinsir. He gave Ash the mental image of Metapod losing by it GETTING CUT IN HALF by Pinsir (suprised 4Kids even kept this scene in):
twitter.com/chikoritacheez/status/1252424384314085376?lang=en
In the end when Pinsir grabbed Metapod it used Harden and it actually broke off some of the spikes on its pincers.
How did regular Pinsir do in lower tiers in later generations? Guess we’ll never know.
5:39 „It doesn’t affect the foe’s Misdreavus“ I see what you did there!
I would just like to state my approval of your consistent use of 'Serperior' in place of 'superior' for these videos. Kudos, False Swipe Gaming.
2:55 Granbulll's mouth becomes something straight from Loony Tunes XD
How good was furrett actually?
ITS SO CUTE I NEED A VIDEO
Pinsir was one of the major roadblocks to my Battle Tower team in Gen 3. (Then again I was trying to win with my favorites, was going with Medicham/Zangoose/Regice. Also got absolutely bodied by Zard and bulky poison types)
I honestly love using mega pinser, it's so satisfying to get a sweep with
Pinsir to Heracross: *Who laughs last, laughs best*
Two words : stealth rocks
Something that went over most people’s heads was how good Pinsir was when paired with sub dd zygarde before the latter’s ban in SM. If you could add a Burn sponge for Rotom’s Will-o-Wisp it was really hard to beat. Back in the day I used to put 2 trash mons, defensive landorus, AV magearna, Sub dd Zyg and Close combat SD pinsir in a team and dominate Balance/Bulky offense. HO was a big problem though.
Waaauw great, I love Pinsir! When he got a Mega Evolution, he finally became more badass than Scyther! But please, cover the rest of the Kanto Pokemon ;D
Konto
Andrei Valdez i've fixed it
It's nice that Pinsir has a Mega Evolution, but now it has to once again, compete with Mega Heracross.
Pinsir absolutely destroys Mega Heracross in a one on one, absolutely out-speeds him, and is just way more useful in almost every possible situation in OU or even UU. The only thing Heracross has over him is probably just his sheer strength and probably rock coverage. Regardless they don't really have the same game plan, Hera is more of a wall breaker while Pinsir is a sweeper/cleanup, but there's other pokemon that do Heracross's job better and without taking a mega slot.
Honestly, as a life long Pinsir fan it feels so good to say that all.
Oh the random bug that i kill for exp
finally my favourite mega has been covered, yayyy!
Another beautiful video made by FSG
I was the weird kid that preferred Pinsir over Heracross any day, my friends would say it sucked.
Do how good was Dusclops ACTUALLY?! (Please)
there’s a tab
I think a good way to buff pinsir is to give it mega horn like heracross and extreme speed to say forget quick attack and return because with extreme speed you could invest more into its bulk making its weaknesses more manageable
and U-Turn on top of that
Thanks FalseSwipeGaming Pinsir is one of my favorites Bug-Type Pokémon. For me competitive Pinsir is Awsome: the best Bug-Type Pokémon in gen 1, pretty good in UU for gens 2 and 3 with some nich in OU, in gen 4 won X-Scissor as great STAB option on a excelent Mold Breaker ability for crush Pokémons like Weezing and Gengar levitate with Earthquake, and acess to New Close Combat for smack the majority of of Pokémon Population and final Stone Edge for covarage ghost, (If you run Hyper Cutter in place of Mold Breaker) Fire and Flying. Gen 5 won Moxie like Heracross ir Krookodile can run a Scarf Moxie Strategy and in Gen 6 won a Mega Evolution, in my opinion Mega-Pinsir is the best Mega Bug-Type Pokémon. I improve Mega-Pinsir's Aerilate of 1.2X to 1.5X Damage. For final a personal set i like in Pinsir for gen 2 is run Hidden Power Ghost in place of Hidden Power Bug, because with one Swords Dance Pinsir is capable to demolish Gengar Misdreavus and in UU Haunter. Over all in my vision Pi sir is a pretty good Pokémon.
How GOOD was Manectric actually?
Been asking for months!
Terrible until mega
How good was Cyber Dragons actually?
How would you even be able to tell in a TCG?
No just no
How good was Yatagarasu actually? Gen 1 dueling mechanics explained.
I would say...........pretty good, their fast, explosive power is something opponent need to prepare for since they could easily make an Overdragon for a quick OTK, but then they cemented their place as a scary deck, even in MR 4, upon receiving Infinity.
I think you’re looking for Dzeef
