Pinsir (Mega) in Emerald Imperium

Bug / Flying — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.

Compared with the official games

Against the base species it is built from:

  • Stats Attack 125 → 155, Defense 100 → 120, Sp. Atk 55 → 65, Sp. Def 70 → 90, Speed 85 → 105 (total 500 → 600)
  • Type Bug → Bug / Flying
  • Abilities gains Aerilate and loses Hyper Cutter, Mold Breaker, Moxie

Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Emerald, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.

Other changes in this hack

  • Egg moves: Fury Attack, Flail, Feint Attack, Quick Attack, Close Combat, Feint, Me First, Bug Bite, Superpower
