How do I get Close Combat and Quick Attack on the same Pinsir?

Before gen 4, Pinsir can learn neither quick attack nor close combat. In gens 4 to 7, both of these moves are egg moves.sourcesource

sourceIn gens 4 to 5, this means there are no compatible fathers that can know quick attack and close combat and pass both of those moves to a Pinsir, so Pinsir can’t know both of those moves in gens 4 to 5. Starting in gen 6, mothers can pass egg moves, so you can breed a female Pinsir and a compatible father with quick attack (like Scyther), hatch a female Pinsir with quick attack, and breed that with a compatible father with close combat (like Heracross), and hatch Pinsirs with both moves.sourceIn gen 8, close combat is a TR move, so you can hatch a quick attack Pinsir and teach close combat to it.
