Heracross

[GeminiDragon]

I have a heracross that i don't know what to give it could you pleas help me
Heracross
Nature: Lonely
Attack: 159
HP 140
Defense: 73
Sp Atk 55
Sp. Def 99
Speed 99

I was thinking
Brick Break or Reversal
Counter ( to use against physical attackers that are super effective against him)
Rockslide
Megahorn

 

[munchlaxboy]

to me all looks good. I would choose Brick Break over Reversal.

No real point in having Counter, cos Hera's defence is piss poor. It will be OHKOed.
A good ingame set is,
Heracross@ Leftovers
Jolly Nature
-Swords Dance
-Brick Break
-Rock Slide
-Megahorn

Or if you can pull a CB or salac out of your Butt

Heracross@Choice Band/Salac
Adamant/Hasty/Jolly Nature
Guts
~ Rock Slide/Endure
~ Mega horn
~ Brick Break/Endure
~ Focus Punch/Reversal

is that right?

Swarm > Guts on EndRevcross.

Splitting them up...
Heracross@ Salac Berry
Adamant Nature
Swarm
-Endure
-Reversal
-Rock Slide
-Megahorn

Heracross@ Choice Band
Jolly Nature
Guts
-Megahorn
-Brick Break
-Facade
-Rock Slide

 

[aipomkong]

Choice Bander is Adamant imo

 

[magnemiteZ]

My reconing is that it needs the speed. It has the 1.5 Boost from the CB and with the status effect, even more so.
But that is my opinion

 

[Toothache]

If you can get access to Pokemon Emerald, try this...

Heracross@Leftovers
EV:Attack, Speed
Nature: + Att, - Sp Att
Trait: Guts
Sleep Talk
Megahorn
Brick Break/Rest
Rock Slide

Sleep Talk + Guts hurts. If you want, give him Rest to take advantage of ST, but your best bet is to absorb sleep attacks and cause a surprise.

 

[9voltdude]

the salac berry endure strategy is good....
earthquake
mega horn
reversal
endure
jolly nature

(works good in BF)

 

[pharaohguy530]

Its good. Take Brickbreak instead of Reversal. But put Reversal in if you take out a second move.

 

[magnemiteZ]

^?

9Volt, that set needs Adamant. You only need around 265 Speed with the use of salac.
