The "big 19" basic explanation – Heracross (week: 4-3) – The Tyranitar killer
Heracross week: https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/q-a/big-19-basic-explanation-heracross-week-4-1-only-one-optimal-moveset-good-type-coverages & https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/q-a/big-19-basic-explanation-heracross-week-4-2-how-about-other-movesets-various-types
Heracross is good against Blissey, and is also decent against Tyranitar, which has the highest CP possible in the current game.
The current best moveset's DPS – C/CC – 19.963
The current best moveset for Machamp's DPS – C/DP – 21.411
We can see that Machamp with C/DP is still better here, if only comparing the general DPS.
Ideal moveset for defense: Struggle Bug + Close Combat
Wanted moveset for defense: Hidden Power + Rock Slide (damaging Charizard with Rock Slide while Hidden Power charges energy fast on gym defense)
The Hidden Power type: poison
