The Best Mega Heracross Moveset in Pokémon Go
- Mega Heracross stands out as a formidable contender, claiming the title of the best Bug and Fighting-type attacker in Pokémon Go. While Bug-types might not always steal the spotlight, Mega Heracross’s prowess in the Fighting realm is where things get intriguing.
- Mega Heracross boasts a dynamic moveset, with Counter (Fast) and Megahorn (Bug) serving as its technical best moves. However, if you’re aiming to maximize damage output, leveraging its Fighting prowess against opponents weak to Fighting becomes paramount. In such cases, swapping Megahorn for Close Combat proves to be the optimal choice.
- There’s a strategic overlap here: Bug-type moves like Megahorn are effective against Psychic, Grass, and Dark types, while Fighting-type moves excel against Normal, Rock, Steel, Ice, and Dark types. So, when encountering a Dark type, the Counter/Megahorn combo shines, offering a specialized advantage.
It’s worth noting that even without Mega Evolution, regular Heracross performs admirably across all three main leagues, making it a valuable addition to your team even without Mega Energy.
Here’s a rundown of all the Fast and Charged moves at Mega Heracross’s disposal in Pokémon Go:
Fast Moves:
- Counter (Fighting)
- Struggle Bug (Bug)
Charged Moves:
- Megahorn (Bug)
- Earthquake (Ground)
- Close Combat (Fighting)
- Rock Blast (Rock)
With these moves in your arsenal, Mega Heracross becomes a force to be reckoned with in battles across the Pokémon Go universe
Exploring Heracross: The Single Horn Pokémon
- Heracross, the Single Horn Pokémon, is undeniably captivating, especially for bug enthusiasts. It belongs to the exclusive club of bugs without evolutions, eventually ascending to a Mega Evolution alongside its companions Scyther and Pinsir (with Scyther evolving into the scissor-like Scizor).
- Despite its formidable strength, Heracross prefers the simple pleasures of life, often found peacefully sipping nectar from the side of a tree. Its endearing appearance, adorned with a cute face, makes it hard not to adore.
Type and Evolution:
Heracross is a Bug/Fighting-type Pokémon with no known evolutions.
Miscategorization:
Upon Mega Evolution, Heracross, the ‘Single Horn’ Pokémon, faces a slight miscategorization.
Pokédex Entries:
- Heracross: ‘It loves sweet nectar. To keep all the nectar to itself, it hurls rivals away with its prized horn. With its herculean powers, it can easily throw around an object that is 100 times its own weight.’
- Mega Heracross: ‘It can grip things with its two horns and lift 500 times its own body weight. A tremendous influx of energy builds it up, but when Mega Evolution ends, Heracross is bothered by terrible soreness in its muscles.’
Trivia:
Heracross can lift objects 500 times its weight, a feat reminiscent of Lilo and Stitch’s iconic door concept.
