Pineco is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It closely resembles a pinecone, using its tough outer shell as protection from enemies. Pineco is known for its ability to drop from trees and explode when it feels threatened, a defensive mechanism it uses to deter predators. The explosion is caused by Pineco’s high internal pressure, which can be quite dangerous to anyone nearby. Despite its volatile nature, Pineco is not an aggressive Pokémon, but rather one that reacts defensively when it feels in danger. It often hides in wooded areas, blending into the environment to avoid detection. Trainers who encounter Pineco must be cautious when approaching, as it will detonate if startled. Pineco’s evolution, Forretress, is even more formidable, with a stronger, more durable shell and the ability to lay spikes. The explosive abilities of Pineco make it a feared opponent in battle, as it can quickly deal massive damage to opponents. Pineco's fighting style revolves around surprising its enemies with sudden and unexpected attacks. It is often underestimated due to its small size, but Pineco's explosions can cause significant disruption. Many trainers value Pineco for its unique defensive strategies, and its potential to evolve into Forretress makes it even more desirable.
