Pokemon Farming: Heracross
December 1, 2007
Today we bring you the Bug Fighting Pokemon Heracross!
Heracross has long been a popular Pokemon. With the release of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl he has seen his move set increase to make him even more useful in battling.
The thing about Heracross that stops many newcomers from using him is that all of his real good moves are learned much later in his life. The only Bug move he can learn by leveling up is the very effective move Megahorn learned at level 55. Yes, level 55!
In order to give these Heracross an awesome move set I had to level up both a male and a female to level 55. It took me some time to do my preliminary farming on these little buggers but I think you will find it well worth it when you see how they will be coming to you. In fact, I would be willing to bet that the moves they hatched with are the best possible moves for a Heracross.
- These Pokemon will come with one of two nature:
- Swarm: When HP is below 1/3rd, Bug’s power increases to 1.5 times.
- Guts: Attack raises to 1.5 times when induced with a status (BURN, PARALYZE, SLEEP, POISON, FREEZE). BURN’s effect of lowering Attack is not applied.
- Move Set
- Stone Edge – Rock – Power 100, Accuracy 80%: The user stabs the foe with a sharpened stone. It has a high critical-hit ratio.
- Night Slash – Dark, Power 70 and Accuracy 100%: The user slashes the foe the instant an opportunity arises. It has a high critical-hit ratio.
- Close Combat – Fighting, Power 120 Accuracy 100%: The user fights the foe in close without guarding itself. It also cuts the Defense and Special Defense after use.
- Megahorn – Bug, Power 120 Accuracy 85%: Utilizing its tough and impressive horn, the user rams into the foe with no letup.
When selecting the moves I looked at Heracross and his weaknesses. The one that stuck out is Flying. With a 4X weakness to Flying attacks I knew Heracross had to have something to deal with those pesky Flying Pokemon. Stone Edge is the answer. As long as you can get the first attack in Heracross should be able to use Stone Edge to knock those pesky birds out of the sky.
Aside from Stone Edge the other attacks are designed to take Heracross’s high Attack score and use it to pummel your foes into the ground. Between guts and Swarm a wounded Heracross becomes a truly dangerous Heracross. His 120 power attacks can quickly become 180 power attacks!
You can acquire a Heracross from a sweet honey tree but that may take some time. It is far easier to get one right here!
Rules
1. I will take any Pokemon you want to give me.
2. The Pokemon you trade to me should be holding something.
3. I prefer berries over all other items.
4. The only exception to berries are the two items that Magby/Elekid hold when caught in the wild.
5. When you leave your information in the comments below your trainer name must be correct. When I do the trading I refer to the comments on the site to see who gets what.
6. When you enter the Wi-Fi zone select the trade option and wait for me to select you.
7. If you can, be early. I am sometimes on early.
8. Don’t be afraid to trade amongst yourselves.
