Heracross moveset

[123LTJ]

I'd like a non-endure, non-bulk up Heracross moveset.
I'm thinking:


Brick Break
Megahorn
Earthquake
???


Any help? Or should I just stick with one of the standards?


Also, which is better: Aerial Ace or Air Cutter? Aerial Ace is faster and always hits, but Air Cutter has the Critical hit thing going for it... although it never seems to get all that many of those when I use it.

why not Bulk Up?

whats wrong with it?

[123LTJ]

I'm impatient in battle for almost any move like that. I know that everyone'll tell me that Bulk Up would be great, yadda yadda yadda, but it's just not my battling style. Sorry.

[Vega]

well, there's really no other option.

if this were gsc you would have a STalking set but it cant get STalk in rs.

so you either get that, or you get... Secret Power/Facade

just get Bulk Up and Rest

[Gloom Guy]

What about...

Brick Break/ Reversal
Counter
Megahorn/ Earthquake
Flail/ Return/ Rest (w/ Chesto Berry)

[123LTJ]

How do I get Rest on my Heracross? And does it have the HP and Defence/Sp. Defence to use it? Or will it just get nearly killed again the move after using Rest?

[Gloom Guy]

Rest is a TM... depends on when you use the move...
If you use it against someone w/ a flying move you're probably asking for trouble, but since Heracross is only weak to Fire & Flying (I believe) if you survive a counter & then use rest when they send out a new pokemon then you'll probably have a chance to use it effectively since they might be busy thinking you have the standard moveset & trying to use a non-damaging move to affect you.

He's also weak to Psychic. Where do I get the TM?

[ace]

He's not weak to psychic. that weakness is cancelled out due to the fact that he is a bug type.

Uh... no?

Ever used Confusion on a Dustox? Psychic is normally effective on Bug, and super effective on Fighting.


From Pokemonelite2000.com:

Bug:
Defensive Strengths: Grass, Ground, Fighting
Weaknesses: Fire, Flying, Rock
Immune to: none
Offensive Advantages: Grass, Psychic, Dark
Disadvantages: Fire, Fighting, Poison, Flying, Ghost, Steel
Immunities: None

Reversal
Mega Horn
Earthquake
Brick Break

--or--

MH
EQuake
BB
Rest

Something like that. But E-quake, Mega Horn, and Brick Break/Reversal are good.

I love Heracross...

heracross@chesto berry
rest
bulk up
earthquake/brick break
megahorn

if i ever use one (which i probably will) i will give it this set. since he doesnt have many special weaknesses bulking up makes him tankish. how i wish he could still stalk though = [

[123LTJ]

What is Stalk? I didn't use Heracross in G/S/C.

[dr._samurai]

stalk is rest and sleep talk. stalk is just a shorter way for sagying s-talking. so i dont know if its pronounced s-talking or just stalking. anyway it was the best set for him in gsc. people gave him rest, sleep talk, megahorn, earthquake. it was his best set. gave him staying power and attack.

Ahh... thank you. If only there were a Sleep Talk TM...
