Default Pinsir.

All right. Pinsir. It may not have Megahorn or a STABed Close Combat, but this thing is still a beast in UU/BL play. It also has a vernice Defense stat to work with.

Choice Scarfer.

Pinsir @ Choice Scarf
Mold Breaker
Adamant Nature
[252 Attack][252 Speed][6 HP]

_X-Scissor
_Stone Edge
_Close Combat
_Earthquake

Pretty straightforward. With Mold Breaker, Earthquake can hit Gengar and Bronzong if you ever come across them, as well as any Fire pretty hard. X-Scissor for STAB, and Close Combat and Stone Edge for nice type coverage. 403 Speed with Scarf will outspeed almost anything, but you can go with a Jolly nature to outspeed other Adamant Heracross/Pinsirs.

Swords Dancer.

Pinsir @ Leftovers / Lum Berry
Mold Breaker
Jolly Nature
[252 Attack][252 Speed][6 HP]

_Swords Dance
_X-Scissor
_Stone Edge
_Close Combat

Lum Berry can be a nice hold item if you know the opponent will try to status you. It's a free Swords Dance. After a Dance this guy has 698 Attack to work with. More than enough to wreak havoc with.

Flailer.

Pinsir @ Salac Berry
Mold Breaker
Jolly Nature
[252 Attack][252 Speed][6 HP]

_Flail
_Endure
_Close Combat
_Stone Edge

Pretty simple, really. Get the HP low, activate Salac, then sweep away with Flail. Stone Edge to hit Ghosts. X-Scissor has STAB, but Close Combat deals with Steels.

Choice band can be an option.Quick attack as an option on it and the Swords Dancer since, basing this off of ADV UU, the BL/UU metagame is bound to have a few reversalers, though will be shortened due to Abomasnow. Then again, Gligar did also stop them to a lesser extent but didn't really lower the number of them significantly.
