Plan this partner in PokéBonk
This analysis describes the Pinsir League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.
Mold Breaker adds general damage and extra pressure against boss-class enemies. Faster shield depletion gives Pinsir a useful answer to defensive targets, supported by a focused throwing and grabbing kit.
Trade-off: Shield depletion is accelerated, not bypassed, and the line has limited passive recovery.
Passive: Mold Breaker
Ultimate progression: Clamp
Curated kit: Storm Throw (Lv. 1) · Lunge (Lv. 2) · Vital Throw (Lv. 4) · Superpower (Lv. 7)
Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.
League analysis and kit: v0.8.25, checked October 23, 2026. Individual unlock checklists and linked builds carry their own source dates.
