Pinsir Vs. Heracross

[Faceless*]

the title says it all, which Bug/Fighting pokemon do you like better? (in case you're wondering y i want to know, i need a fighting type in my team that also destroys dark/psychic types)

 

[Espeon Master]

Pinsir isn't part fighting though...

 

[41victory]

Id pick Heracross all the way!

 

[SSJ_Joe]

but it would be a good battle..there basically the same thing if u think about it..

Pinsir isn't part fighting though...

This belongs in Pokémon General, so I'll just move it there.

Moved~

How Ever..on some pokemon Cards Pinsir is considered a Grass type pokemon!!

I've always been a fan of stag beetles more than rhinoceros beetles, so I say Pinsir.
Plus, being able to EQ Gengar in 4th gen is pretty fun.

I liked Heracross better so I voted for him.

I like Heracross better. A cool looking Blue Bug Pokemon! :D

 

[Gymnotide]

I picked Pinsir just for the Mold Breaker and those awesome... pincer... thingies on his head. I mean, wouldn't you want those? I guess not, but Pinsir actually learns Bug attacks now.

And the little non-conformist in me made me do it.

 

[Light Umbreon]

heracross hands down. He is just better over all.

 

[Rivvon]

I like Pinsir better. He's more..."old-school" xP I was never too much into Heracross, and besides, Pinsir learns Guillotine! (|3

 

[Master Trainer Empoleon]

Heracross would pwn Pinsir hands down.

 

[Faceless*]

Seems like Heracross is dominating Pinsir... better place my vote ._.

 

[Ichikool]

Heracross! It's blue and better looking. Pinsir is pretty ugly. XP I know it's not all about looks, but I just don't really like Pinsir.

 

[Hikari90]

I like Heracross more
:)

Well their stats are virtually identical...

Pinsir, on the one hand, can learn the moves Earthquake, X-Scissor, and Seismic Toss: plus it's Mold Breaker ability that can royally screw some pokemon.

Heracross, on the other hand, learns Megahorn, Night Slash, Shadow Claw, and the infamous Endure/Reversal Combo. It is, however, owned by any manner of flying type move...and susceptible to Psychic type moves which are generally more common than the rock types to which it gains neutral resistance.

I say they are perfectly equal, only suited for different sweeping roles. Were they to battle one another, the outcome would be determined solely on which one hits first (they have the same base speed, by the way). Before the 'Heracross endures and activates Salac Berry' argument comes into play, keep in mind that Pinsir can learn Quick Attack.

Thus, I vote for Pinsir to try and even things back out as they should be.

I voted for Heracross...though Heracross Moveset stinks at a pretty low level, If I trained hard It'll be the best
