Inspite
ATTN: the phrase is 'in spite of' all of Heracross's power it cannot beat everything in the tier
,: semicolon~! Gligar can shrug off anything Heracross can throw at it and nullify the damage with Roost. Heracross can’t hurt
Bbulky Ghost
-types with
hiits STAB moves, Zapdos like the aforementioned Ghost
-types can take both of Heracross's STAB moves but has to bewar
ey your spacing~~ of Stone Edge
, and fast scarfers like. Fast Choice Scarf users, such as Victini and Darmatian can OHKO Heracross with th
eir STAB moves. Heracross also has access to Swords Dance which can be used with
a StatusFlame Orb
don't change it to something else! tbh Toxic Orb is used as well and is often better >.> to beat most of its usual counters
but can rapidly rack up damage and does no favours to. However, this curtails Heracross's longetivity it's longevity. When you pronounce words wrongly, you spell them wrong too :p and does nothing to improve Heracross
’'s middling
sSpeed
stat. Heracross can also run a Res
tTalk set activating Guts and healing itself in the process

likesuch as Roserade
; wrong use of semicolon! ):< remember: a semicolon is as powerful as a peroid! activating the Sleep Clause therefore preventing your opponent from putting any other
pPokemon on your team to sleep
but this set is quite unreliable so it. This strategy is unreliable, though, and needs more team support th
en its normalan the other sets. Even with these flaws Heracross shouldn’t be
taken lightly since it can easilyoverlooked since it has the capability to sweep
a weakened team
s on its own.
As far as Heracross’s abilities go, Heracross should always use Guts since the ability to gain the Attack boost from a burn rather than to be crippled by it is too good for Heracross to pass up. Heracross’s DW ability Moxie is currently unrealesd but when it is it will be a much better option for the Choice Scarf set but would benefit more from Guts on all the other setsased, but barring the Choice Scarf set, Guts is a much better option.
