Pokemon Farming: Heracross

August 23, 2007

For today’s Farmer’s Market, I will be offering one of the strongest little bugs around, Heracross

Heracross was first introduced back in Gold and Silver and right away made a name for itself by being one of the best bug-types around. This beetle is gifted with great typing (Bug/Fighting), great moves and high Attack and better than average Speed and Special Defense stats. However, it has also been on the rare side. Starting in Gold and Silver and continuing into FireRed and LeafGreen, it’s found in the Safari Zone and is usually one of the hardest ones to find. This time around, in Diamond and Pearl, it can be found by slathering Honey on the Honey Trees, and even then it doesn’t show up that often. The only Honey Tree Pokemon that is even harder to find than this one is Munchlax!

Normally I’m not a fan of Bug-types but from the beginning I’ve always really liked Heracross. I’ve always liked it’s superior Strength and the fact that it’s Fighting-type helps balance out some of its Bug-type weaknesses. In fact, in my game on Diamond, Heracross was part of the team that I brought to fight the Elite Four the first time around, and I must say it did a splendid job!

So, today I will be giving away this tough little guy for all who want one!

What you need to do:

  • Leave a comment below with your Trainer name and info, and please make sure it is correct! I’ve had a problem with the past few farming events with people leaving incorrect info. If it’s not correct I can’t trade with you!
  • Have something to trade. I will take anything, but I am still working on my ‘dex so I do prefer non-Sinnoh Pokemon. Also, it’s not necessary but it’d be appreciated if it is holding something. I could really use a few extra Moon Stones and Water Stones, and I still need Berry #’s 53, 59, and 61-64.
  • Be in the Wifi Room by 8:00 EDT/7:00 CDT today, Thursday August 23rd. I may be a bit early so feel free to check in early.
  • Be waiting in Trade Mode (Invite -> Trade). I will come to you when I am ready.
  • Also, don’t be afraid to trade amongst yourselves!

My trainer name is Bott and my Friend Code is 2320 2629 3165. I’ll see you all tonight!

I have plenty of water stones so you can have one (:
And I’ll try and find something non-sinnoh for you :D

Electra, can you breed another turtwig for me? I really liked the one that you traded me last time, but somewhere along the line I must have accidentally traded it because now I can’t find it! :( If you could do that for me, I’d be grateful!

Bott, for some reason my PMs won’t go through. “/
What it said was:
GAHHH
it didnt work ):
BUT I HAVE FIGURED OUT A WAY! and I’m rather proud of myself.
It’s not the same way I did it before, but it will still work.
It’s just going to take me a little while (:
but you will have your Giga Draining Turtwig!
I should be ready in time, but just in case I’m not, will you save me a Heracross and we could trade a little later on? (:
I would have been ready ages ago but male Glooms dont seem to want to appear.

Comment by Robottnik
2007-08-23 18:54:39

Sorry, just now came across your message. It’s a Cubone, eh? Thank you! Since it is a swarm Pokemon, it’s possible that at some point one of us will farm it, we do try to aim for the harder-to-obtain ones. I can’t guarantee anything, we pretty go week-by-week, and the rest of this week is planned out already. Not a bad suggestion though!

Comment by MIKE
2007-08-23 19:02:35

i’m soooo sorry about yesterday after i posted i realized that the library had a summer reading party and i thought it would be done by the time the trading started but it ended at 5 here which would be 8 for you so i checked if you were on but you weren’t so that is why i hope you will forgive me and trade to me today and perhaps also trade my electribuzz back and forth so it evolves and if it does i will be oh so grateful i will trade you whatever you like orperhaps a dialga or such it is a 100% legal in any way because i got it off the gts and double or triple checked because it is caught at the right place and time.

and also try to be on a bit early because i may not be able to get on just to warn you.

Comment by Robottnik
2007-08-23 12:59:33

I’m going to do my best to be on early today, but I can’t promise it. I have nothing going on today, so I see no reason why I can’t be a little early tonight. Hope to see you then!

Comment by Diamond
2007-08-23 13:20:51

Comment by Robottnik
2007-08-23 18:08:32

Oh whoops, forgot about that, not a problem! I might have to back out and go back into a trade with you to do that, I wasn’t payng attention and already hit ‘quit’, go ahead and quit and I’ll pick you again for that

Comment by Robottnik
2007-08-23 18:09:27

nevermind, didn’t need to back out at all

LOL, it’s cool! Like I say, I’ll take anything, so don’t worry about it :) I’m glad I was able to get you a Heracross after all, i didn’t evensee your post until about half-way through! I always check through the posts while I’m trading, so I wouldn’t have missed you, but after I saw the post and didn’t see you show up at all, I was afraid you might not make it after all. Glad you did!

It was a good crop today and I hope everyone enjoys their fresh Heracross goodness! Make sure you come back as we will be having another event tomorrow, Friday August 24th! Thank you again, and good night!
