Pinsir

If Pinsir fails to crush its victim in its pincers, it can swing the unlucky creature around and toss it toward the horizon. In "Challenge of the Samurai" Ash and his new found Pokemon friends encounter a Pokemon trainer dressed as a regal Samurai. The mysterious trainer challenges Ash to a Pokemon battle and unleashes his monstrous Pinsir upon our intrepid hero and his novice Pokemon.
