Heracross

Edit
Share

Heracross (Japanese: ヘラクロス Herakurosu) is a Bug/Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Heracross is a large, blue, winged bipedal beetle. It has a capsule-shaped thorax similar to Pinsir's, a pair of yellow eyes and two clawed arms and feet. Growing from its head is a large T-shaped horn, which is flanked on either side by a smaller antenna. Heracross' horn shape depends on its gender.

Heracross's shiny variation is all pink as opposed to its regular blue. Males differ from females in that the female's horn ends in a heart shape.

Gender differences

Male Heracross have a pointed horn like the image above. Female Heracross have a heart-shaped tip on their horn.

Behavior

Heracross is a powerful but docile Pokémon. Its natural habitat is forests and its diet consists of tree sap, nectar and honey. Heracross are also shown to work with Butterfree in the wild in order to share sap to eat. Its strength is such that it can topple large trees if it so wished. Heracross's main weapon is its large horn, of which it is particularly proud. However, it only uses it in the wild to deter its foes, not hurt them. Heracross often fight using brute strength, usually pushing pack their foes and lifting them with their arms and horn.

Appearances

Anime

Main article: Ash's Heracross

In the Pokémon anime, Ash catches a Heracross in the episode A Sappy Ending. The Heracross is powerful, but also is distracted by sap, to the point where he tries to feed off the nectar of Ash's Bulbasaur's flower bulb when Bulbasaur is in sight. He is currently at Professor Oak's lab.

Trainers with a Heracross

Trivia

  • Heracross was thought to be a pre-evolution of Pinsir before the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver.
  • Despite being able to fly, it is unable to learn Fly and is not a Flying-type Pokémon.
  • It is the first Bug/Fighting-type Pokémon, the second and third being Buzzwole and Pheromosa, although they are Ultra Beasts.
  • This Pokémon is modeled after the Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle, an insect that is used as a reference in many well known anime/manga.
  • As of USUM, the only three Bug-type moves that Heracross can learn are Megahorn, Bug Bite & Pin Missile.
  • Heracross almost resembles to Ballistamon from Digimon Fusion.
