In Trade, Borrow, and Steal!, Goh met a girl named Kricketina Kylie, who wanted to trade Pinsir for one of her Pokémon, something that Goh was reluctant to do. Goh offered to help Kricketina find a Pinsir of her own which they agreed to do. When Goh later caught another Pinsir, he traded it for Kricketina's as his Pinsir had fallen in love with it.
In Suffering the Flings and Arrows!, Goh's newly caught released a sweet aroma that caused Heracross to fall in love with her, leading Pinsir to grow depressed.

In Trade, Borrow, and Steal!, Pinsir developed a crush on Heracross, which motivated Goh to trade his second Pinsir for Heracross so that they may be together.
