The '''Pokémon Pinchers''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンナッパーズ''' ''Pokémon Nappers'') is a [[villainous team]] in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}.  They operate in the [[Oblivia]] region, and though they appear to be led by [[Red Eyes]], [[Blue Eyes]], and [[Purple Eyes]], they are actually controlled by a secret society called the [[Societea]].

==In the games==
The Pokémon Pinchers are first encountered as soon as the game begins, in the sky. They then take various Pokémon from [[Dolce Island]] and one admin, [[Blue Eyes]], gets {{p|Raikou}} to destroy Oblivia's contact with the [[Ranger Union]] by hijacking the [[Wireless Tower]] on [[Renbow Island]]. Another admin, [[Red Eyes]], destroys the {{DL|Renbow Island|Big Booker Bridge}} and trades Blue Eyes for the player's partner ({{ra|Ben}} or {{ra|Summer}}) in the [[Daybreak Ruins]]. Another admin, [[Purple Eyes]], controls [[Steelhead]], as do the group's leader and top executives.

In order to defeat them, the {{player}} must infiltrate their [[Sky Fortress]], where the Societea is headquartered. After defeating the Societea executives, who use {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, the player must do battle with their leader's {{p|Mewtwo}} in a two-round fight. It is stated that originally, the Pinchers were just loosely-associated mercenary groups around the world, and that it was the Societea that gathered these groups into a formal team and installed Purple Eyes as its leader.

Throughout the game, the Pokémon Pinchers Grunts appear in Quests, sometimes even as the client.

==In the anime==
