[Heracross much? Well, it's an inferior Heracross... kinda? Good thing they're not in the same tier. I suppose Stealth Rock is a mildly interesting gimmick, but coverage is more tried and true. Moves are fairly self explanatory, Moxie is the best ability by far unlike with heracross where Guts is another option. If you're playing a tier with Heracross, use it. Otherwise, this guy is a neat option.]

- Quick Attack

- Return / Thrash

- Earthquake / Close Combat

- Substitute / Swords Dance / Bulk Up

 

So remember how Pinsir was inferior to Heracross and Scisor for a good... 5 gens now?  well uh, we might need to rethink that now that with the bug trio.... Pinsir got a mega evolution... and my gosh how Powerful it got compared to what the others got... lets look and see what it gets.

 

well first its Mega turns it to a Bug/flying... a common typing but yea it happens but that doesn't stop it there... it gets an ability called Aerilate which is basically Pixilate or Refergerate but it makes move Flying... and Pinsir can actually use this ability well, also it boost the moves that are changed to flying by x1.3 ... not including stab, which is crazy good... and since most normal attack are physical... well...

 

now then lets begin at the moves... Quick attack is Mega Pinsirs main priority... and with its boosts... its gonna hurt a lot of things.  Now here comes the big moves... Return... this move after the aerilate (or however its spelled) ability... and pinsirs 155 base attack... hits just as hard as a neutral Earthquake... from a Groundon with LO and the same nature... but if you don't feel like thats enough damage you can always go for THRASH... with MORE POWER.. but with the same drawbacks as Outrage.  Next thing you want... Earthquake... if the opponent can resist a Flying type move... it won't take a Ground move, and thankfully Pinsir got one of the strongest Ground moves... or if you don't feel like it you can go Close combat.... but it lacks the coverage of Ground/Flying... and last but not least... i would go Support for the safety reasons and that and not to get burned or that... or you can go Swords dance and go LUDICRIS mode... or you know bulk up for half the ludicris and half the defense.

^Did you mean: -Return/Thrash ? Having them both and no quick attack is a tad silly, IMO. I would also opt for EQ over Close Combat as Aegislash are very annoying and would otherwise completly wall Pinsir. For the last slot, I guess it is personal preference.
