Were Awakened really that powerful? He simply could not accept a result like this.
So for his fourth Pokémon, he sent out another of his trump cards: a Mid Elite Class Pinsir.
It was one of the few truly powerful Bug-type Pokémon. Its outstanding base stats and fierce aggression made Pinsir far less fragile than other Bug-type Pokémon.

The opposing Pokémon Trainer's expression changed the moment he saw this Pokémon.
What opponent did Pinsir fear most? Without a doubt, a Ghost-type. Bug-type damage was halved, while Normal-type and Fighting-type moves had no effect at all.
