I am one of the few people who prefer Pinsir to Heracross, always have, even before megas, but Heracross is in my top 10 favorite pokemon, just outside my top 6, which would be a team I'd use. (If your curious, those 6 are Weezing, Pinsir, Tsareena, Typhlosion, Phanpy (or donphan if I'm trying to win, I just prefer the cute pre evo here), and Ampharos. Heracross is probably 7 or 8)

I always felt like if heracross got U-Turn, it would have definetley remained relevant. I mean could you imagine? Checking heracross, let alone mega heracross, was a difficult task that slowly got easier over the years, which is why it fell off, but if it got U-turn then checking it would become near IMPOSSIBLE.

A rhinoceros beetle can lift things that are roughly 850 times their own body weight, if that sort of thing was translated to the games, regular Heracross would be able to lift 45 Celesteelas while Mega Heracross would be able to lift 53 Celesteelas. This oddly adorable beetle is am absolute monster of power.

Heracross has been a trooper throughout all these generations. From not having a good fighting STAB in Gen 2, to having to compete with Scizor in Gen 4, to having to compete with other fighting types/fighting type megas from Gen 6-9, Heracross has shown the community that it should always belong in a high tier. Just goes to show how good of a move Megahorn is.

@matthewkuscienko4616
@matthewkuscienko4616 Год назад
On the contrary, having a 4x weakness is far from a death sentence to a Pokemon's viability, as there are plenty of examples of Pokemon that have this trait that are still good, if not great in spite of this. Another bug introduced in gen2 in the form of Scizor has also managed a similar feat, and when last I checked, Pokemon like Swampert and Dragonite (among others) have proven to be similarly effective. But in Heracross's case, it's sheer power makes it a dangerous offensive Pokemon in whichever tier it finds itself in, especially since it can spam 2 different 120 base power STAB moves that only have fairly minor drawbacks
@mrtable2861
@mrtable2861 Год назад
Like Matthew said, 4x weaknesses aren't necessarily a death sentence, especially not one to flying. While flying is an excellent offensive typing for any Mon that has STAB on it (especially if they have fighting/ground coverage), it's one of the least useful coverage types out there. You will almost never see anything halfway strong offensively walled by a fighting or bug type and grass has plenty of other weaknesses that mons can casually deal with. Only time I've seen something run a flying move to bypass a matchup was Crawdaunt potentially running Aerial ace to hit Chestnaught in gen 6 UU. That's it. So the only mons that will try to strike you with a flying type move are flying types themselves. And at that point, well, you just switch.

Heracross is easily one of my favorite bug types since; it looks exactly like a rhinocerous beetle without being too terrifyingly buglike at the same time, and is a great pokemon to have on your team. I had one on my heartgold team and it was easily one of the MVPs, OHKOing whitney's miltank with brick break and dominating so many other pokemon throughout the game with its surprisingly high speed (on account of its nature), great power, and movepool. Hell, it managed to outspeed red's pikachu despite being quite a few levels lower, and basically solo'd half of his team anyway. I'm happy that it's been a great competitive pokemon through and through even though i don't personally play it myself.

Ah Heracross, the beginning of what seemed to be a Bug Type’s dream of entering Competitive Play. David the Heracross was one of my best teammates in Crystal, and Colosseum didn’t disappoint me with Megahorning Cipher and thwarting Evice’s plans. Bug/Fighting is an interesting type, plenty of handy resistances, impressive move pool, and an impressive stat spread. STAB Megahorn off Base 125 Attack isn’t anything to sneeze at, especially with the ability to boost via Bulk Up/Swords Dance. Keep living the dream David and Silky, my two main Heracrosses. You’ll always be my favorite Hercules Beetle.

Heracross is one of my favorite pokemon. I love its sleek simplistic design but also the fact that its easily one of the best bug types ever. The only other bugs that come near it are scizor and volcarona. Bug might be the weakest type in the game, but you won't know that by looking at this hercules Beatle.

Heracross was probably inspired by an Antlion Kaiju from Ultraman, named Antler. Antlar and Heracross are both giant bugs who can fight ferociously. Antler was one of the few kaiju who survived Ultraman's "Speciam Beam". Competitive Heracross is basically Antlar, an almight bug, who'd be defeated by a small, blue rock.

I'm surprised that a gen 2 Pokemon was picked for a remake this soon, but dang was this a good choice. The amount of diverse, viable sets is definitely a testament to how thorough this video could be. Heracross is the only Guts Pokemon besides Conkelldurr with decent bulk and the resistances it gets from being a Bug type more than make up for the quad flying weakness that it gained. Easily my favorite Guts Pokemon and my second favorite physical fighting type behind Hitmontop
