I like pie.
first of all, don't say rockslide, rock tomb, or HP rock. i don't have the tms and i'm too lazy to breed the proper IVs.

this is for firered and I'm working on defeating the E4 so this is a heracross that I'm training. at lvl 48 it's attack stat is 161, so it looks like a good strong Pokemon.

my original plan was this move set:

reversal
brick break
counter
megahorn.

but this will mostly require heracross being near death most of the time. i've tried this while training and i have to be very careful. one miss or one wrong move and i need to visit the Pokemon center. i don't like having something so "volatile" so I'm reworking it:

brick break
swords dance
megahorn
???

i'm looking at earthquake for that last move, but i'd really prefer something with a few more pp. any suggestions? and by the way, don't suggest losing megahorn. i have good arguements on why i should keep it.

^ Seconds that. Also, Rock Slide is not a TM, it's a move tutor move in Rock Tunnel.

i'll rephrase. i can't teach rockslide via the move tutor since i've already used it. i would like to just give it rockslide but i CAN'T. so don't suggest it. read my entire post before you post. i don't like the counter/reversal or endure/reversal thing either.

First of all, no sane person should suggest losing megahorn on heracross.
Second:
Heracross@ choice band/liechi berry
Megahorn
Brichbreak
earthquake (rock slide is better, but...)
Swords dance

Rockslide/ megahorn/Brickbreak/Earthquake. You'll be able to do at least normal damage on every pokemon. pm me I there is a pokemon that it can't do at least normal damage.
