BUGCOMMONAncient Pinsir shows up in the level 150 hunt and averages 208 of loot and 13,508 XP per kill.
Is Ancient Pinsir worth hunting?
Among the 53 Pokémon in the level 150 hunt, Ancient Pinsir ranks 39th for loot per kill, 15% below the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
88% of all loot comes from a single item: Cocoon Stone. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Cocoon Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 3.64% chance — on average one every 27 kills.
For XP it ranks 41 of 53 at this level — 13,508 per kill.
