Heracross bug moveset: any use?
Hi guys, are there any use for a Heracross with a full bug type (Struggle Bug/Megahorn) move set?
Answers
Bug is strong against dark, psychic and grass.
Because Heracross is also fighting type it takes super effective damage from psychic aftacks, so not ideal here.
Most Grass types are also poison type (thus, take neutral damage). If you take Exeggutor, it deals 2x super effective damage but psychic moves can really hurt your Heracross. In this scenario Scizor will perform much better (resisting all the moves of Exeggutor).
For Dark, cycle dps wise Heracross is way behind Machamp and even Hariyama because those two have acces to DP.
So unfortunately, not really a use for Heracross, but if you like it, power it up. I have a lvl 36 Kabutops because he is one of my favorite mons of all times.
