Who's That Pokémon
Once again going into the 4th Generation Competitive Battling strategies, we are covering our one-hundred & thirty-fourth Pokémon. Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced within the first generation. It grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can't tear, it tosses far. Because they dislike cold, it burrowes and sleeps under the ground on chilly nights. So here it is, the one hundred & thirty-fourth featured Pokémon, Pinsir.
