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
