On the contrary, having a 4x weakness is far from a death sentence to a Pokemon's viability, as there are plenty of examples of Pokemon that have this trait that are still good, if not great in spite of this. Another bug introduced in gen2 in the form of Scizor has also managed a similar feat, and when last I checked, Pokemon like Swampert and Dragonite (among others) have proven to be similarly effective. But in Heracross's case, it's sheer power makes it a dangerous offensive Pokemon in whichever tier it finds itself in, especially since it can spam 2 different 120 base power STAB moves that only have fairly minor drawbacks

@mrtable2861

2 жыл бұрын

Like Matthew said, 4x weaknesses aren't necessarily a death sentence, especially not one to flying. While flying is an excellent offensive typing for any Mon that has STAB on it (especially if they have fighting/ground coverage), it's one of the least useful coverage types out there. You will almost never see anything halfway strong offensively walled by a fighting or bug type and grass has plenty of other weaknesses that mons can casually deal with. Only time I've seen something run a flying move to bypass a matchup was Crawdaunt potentially running Aerial ace to hit Chestnaught in gen 6 UU. That's it. So the only mons that will try to strike you with a flying type move are flying types themselves. And at that point, well, you just switch.

My personal favourite pokemon, who knew such simple designs could go such a long way.

Heracross is one of favorite Bug-Type Pokémon. Firstly, has an awesome name, secondly, its design, though simple, was still pleasing to the eyes, and thirdly, it had a fun fighting style with the moves it had access to. These are just my feelings (obviously) but whenever I had the chance, I'd put a Heracross on my team. I still remember how hard I'd hope that this time, this honeyed tree would be the one to bring my Heracross home.

Heracross is easily one of my favorite bug types since; it looks exactly like a rhinocerous beetle without being too terrifyingly buglike at the same time, and is a great pokemon to have on your team. I had one on my heartgold team and it was easily one of the MVPs, OHKOing whitney's miltank with brick break and dominating so many other pokemon throughout the game with its surprisingly high speed (on account of its nature), great power, and movepool. Hell, it managed to outspeed red's pikachu despite being quite a few levels lower, and basically solo'd half of his team anyway. I'm happy that it's been a great competitive pokemon through and through even though i don't personally play it myself.

This is the video I didn’t know I needed

Mega Heracross is cool, but back in Gen 6 at least, I was discouraged enough by the speed drop and lack of Guts (Battle Maison is filled with a lot of status inflicters), so Flame Orb Guts Heracross was my go-to mon instead.

Heracross is my favourite fighting type it's history is great I love the pokemon thx for making this video to show heracross history and it's glory

Heracross was probably inspired by an Antlion Kaiju from Ultraman, named Antler. Antlar and Heracross are both giant bugs who can fight ferociously. Antler was one of the few kaiju who survived Ultraman's "Speciam Beam". Competitive Heracross is basically Antlar, an almight bug, who'd be defeated by a small, blue rock.

The best Bug in my book. He’s almost always got a spot on my team in-game when I had the opportunity.

it's amazing how much they managed to correct for the disaster that was pinsir.

I LOVE gen 2 pokémon, and I love bug types that break the game. Heracross is one of my all time favorites. Great video.

I always liked Heracross and I’m glad this remastered episode highlighted it’s history in a more developed sense.

Oooh I’m so hyped for this one

My favorite bug type. Loved it ever since it helped me beat Whitney's miltank back in Pokemon silver.

Man megahorn is literally part of Heracross' identity. Used this thing in Heart gold and it kicked ass (megahorn, close combat, rock slide, aerial ace)

I had shadow claw instead of aerial ace

I just love this channel so much

Skill link is such a cool ability in theory but having to use moves with some of the worst animations out there sure hurts... that damn "hop" with every hit triggers me so much :(

Yeah it's bc gen 6 onward have trash animations lol

Loved the video, it was really cool to see just how good Heracross was back in the early days! Thanks for featuring my team too. Heracross has the stats to do well, but it would help if they swapped the Bug /Fairy interactions. The introduction of the Fairy type made the Bug type arguably the weakest in the game.

I think “great” is an overstatement, no?

godbless brother, love these vids

Now THIS is the video I've been lookin for!
