Why is Pinsir a Bug-type when it learns more Fighting-type moves than Bug-type moves?

Question

It learns so many Fighting-type moves, and less bug type moves. It's Mega Evolution is a Bug- and Flying-type. Why not Fighting?

Comments

If it was Bug/Fighting then it would have to much similarity to mega Heracross

Answer 1

Pinsir doesn't look like a fighting type

Most Pokemon are typed based on the way they look. It looks more like a Bug, Steel, or Flying type than a Fighting type. Its Mega Evolution is Flying type because it has very ornate and obvious wings.

That's very true, (I'm guessing you mean Vibrava and Goomy) but Game Freak can be trolls xD I'm pretty sure they did stuff like that coz they're... Game Freak :T
