Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Red / BlueIf it fails to crush the victim in its pincers, it will swing it around and toss it hard.
YellowGrips its prey in its pincers and squeezes hard! It can't move if it's cold, so it lives in warm places.
GoldWith its horns, it digs burrows to sleep in at night. In the morning, damp soil clings to its body.
SilverSwings its long antlers wildly to attack. During cold periods, it hides deep in forests.
CrystalWhen the tempera­ ture drops at night, it sleeps on treetops or among roots where it is well hidden.
RubyPINSIR is astoundingly strong. It can grip a foe weighing twice its weight in its horns and easily lift it. This POKéMON’s movements turn sluggish in cold places.
SapphirePINSIR has a pair of massive horns Protruding from the surface of these horns are thorns. These thorns are driven deeply into the foe’s body when the pincer closes, making it tough for the foe to escape.
EmeraldTheir pincers are strong enough to shatter thick logs. Because they dislike cold, PINSIR burrow and sleep under the ground on chilly nights.
FireRedIts two long pincer horns are powerful. Once they grip an enemy, they won’t release until the foe is torn.
LeafGreenIf it fails to crush the foe in its pincers, it will swing around and toss the opponent.
Diamond / Pearl / Platinum / Black / White / XIt grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can’t tear, it tosses far.
HeartGoldWith its pincer horns, it digs burrows to sleep in at night. In the morning, damp soil clings to its body.
SoulSilver / YIt swings its long pincer horns wildly to attack. During cold periods, it hides deep in forests.
Black 2 / White 2It grips prey with its powerful pincers and will not let go until the prey is torn in half.
Omega RubyPinsir is astoundingly strong. It can grip a foe weighing twice its weight in its horns and easily lift it. This Pokémon’s movements turn sluggish in cold places.
Alpha SapphirePinsir has a pair of massive horns. Protruding from the surface of these horns are thorns. These thorns are driven deeply into the foe’s body when the pincer closes, making it tough for the foe to escape.
SunIt grips its prey in its pincers and splits them apart. Although it is a powerful Pokémon, it can’t deal with the cold.
MoonOne solid blow from its horns is enough to split apart a large tree. Its greatest rival in Alola is Vikavolt.
Ultra SunIt gets into territorial disputes with Vikavolt. For some reason, it apparently gets along well with Heracross in Alola.
Ultra MoonAlthough it’s tough, it can’t handle cold well. When night falls, it buries itself in leafage and sleeps.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
