How to unlock Pinsir
To add it to your League, complete all 2 parts of its challenge (Have 20 members in your League; Defeat 4 Alpha Pokémon in a single run), then weaken and catch it when it appears in your next run.
- Have 20 members in your League.
Goal: 20 - Defeat 4 Alpha Pokémon in a single run.
Goal: 4 - Catch it in your next run.
After the challenge is complete, Pinsir appears in a run. Weaken it and catch it — it only joins your League once it is caught.
"In a single run" goals must be met in one run; the others add up across all your runs. League-size goals count the partners you have caught.

| Lunge | Bug | Physical | 80 | Dash |
| Vital Throw | Fighting | Physical | 70 | — |
