Pinchout was a hand/tablet-themed Dagames Type Shadoomer of the Shadow Empire.

Character History[]

Directly after the deaths of Mannequan & Mannequeen, Mendulla sends Pinchout into the South Coast Region in Sector D-17 as part of a new plan by Shadea to shrink the whole city to miniature size so they could easily smash it. Once that would happen, they could easily take over the place it once stood & use it as a bridgehead to take over Earth & make the Gem Rangers much easier to kill. However, only Josh & Austin are able to respond due to the other Gem Rangers going back to their normal jobs. Pinchout starts to smash buildings when the Gem Machines arrive & form the Gem Machine & Drill Diamond Megazords. They overwhelm it with the Jet Sapphire Sword & Drill Knuckle but it quickly stops the Drill Diamond Megazord mid-charge by enlarging a signpost & then shrunk them upon Shadea's orders. At this point, it digs underground to hide & recharge as it wastes a lot of energy shrinking the Gem Machines & that signpost. Later, as Shadea searches for the shrunken Gem Machines, Pinchout arises & forces Sean & David to deal with it whilst June & Ally fight Shadea but it is unfazed by their energy blasts & slashes so they have to fall back. Unopposed, Pinchout starts shrinking buildings but the shrunk Gem Machines have made their way to Beau who is able to enlarge them to normal size with the Gem Stones. As such, they are able to use the Phoenix Arrow Morpher to summon the Phoenix Lazurite & Dragon Gold Machines, at which point Sean & David don the Phoenix Gem Armor & have the Gem Machines form the Phoenix Gem Megazord. With it, they overwhelm Pinchout & dodge its shrink beam as June & Ally watch on. The Phoenix Gem Megazord easily overwhelmed the Shadoomer with multiple electricity-charged slashes before using the finishing attack to cleave Pinchout in half. All the creature can do is roar in pain as its two halves fall to the ground & explode.

Personality[]

As with all Shadoomers, Pinchout was a very unintelligent & feral monster who spoke only in roars. It did seem however to have enough intelligence to activate its phone-based powers.

Powers & Abilities[]

Powers[]

Shrinking: Pinchout could take a photo of the related parties using the phone on its right mask & shoot out a purple beam from it to reduce its target to small size.
- Enlargement - The phone on Pinchout's left mask could enlarge the target in the same way.

Abilities[]

Durability: Pinchout had thick skin that enabled it to shrug off a powerful stab from the Drill Diamond Megazord's Drill Knuckle as well as David's blaster & Sean's sword without getting a scratch.
Burrowing: Pinchout could dig underground.

Weaknesses[]

Energy Inefficiency - Shrinking two Megazords & enlarging a single signpost forced Pinchout to recharge, which prevents it from performing its mission for quite some time & proved to be its undoing.

Arsenal[]

Claws: Like all Dagames Type Shadoomers, it could fight with its curved claws.
Street Sign: Pinchout enlarged a street sign to stop the Drill Diamond Megazord in its path.

Profile[]

Beast Type: Dagames
Shadow Mask(s): Hand & Tablet

Notes[]

Pinchout is the first Dagames-Type Shadoomer without a Shadon counterpart.
- It is also the first Dagames-Type Shadoomer to have a pair of Shadow Masks that are visually identical, albeit with some minor differences.
