Pinsir [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Pinsir #25 is part of Jungle, the second main Pokémon TCG expansion, and the English release on June 16, 1999 expanded the original Japanese 48-card set to 64 cards by adding non-holo versions of the holo rares like Pinsir.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, one of the most recognizable early Pokémon TCG artists, whose work on cards began with the Jungle expansion itself.
In-Game
Pinsir’s Jungle appearance feels especially fitting because the set is said to take place in the Kanto Safari Zone, the same kind of habitat where Pinsir was encountered in the original Generation I games.
Card History
Pinsir showed up very early in the anime, appearing in the fourth episode, "The Challenge of The Samurai," which gives this Jungle-era card a strong connection to the franchise’s first wave of TV nostalgia.
Cultural Impact
Collectors also love Pinsir as one half of a classic Generation I rivalry, since Bulbapedia notes it as a parallel to Scyther, another Jungle favorite and fellow Bug-type counterpart from the earliest games.
