It is important to note that Pinsir is a Shining Pearl exclusive Pokémon. You’ll only be able to find it while you have this version. If you have a Brilliant Diamond version of the game, you cannot find it. The only way you can receive Pinsir is to trade it with another player who owns Pokémon Shining Pearl.

For those with Shining Pearl, you’ll be able to find Pinsir when you’re down in the Grand Underground. You’ll be able to search this location when you receive the Explorer’s Kit from the old man in Eterna City. While down there, Pinsir typically spawns in the Big Bluff Cavern, Still Water Cavern, any cave with grass, or any cave with water in it. You shouldn’t have too much trouble tracking it down and adding it to your Pokémon collection.
