Battle notes

  • Heracross-Mega's Bug / Fighting typing is best attacked with Flying (4x), Fire (2x), Psychic (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
  • Avoid relying on common Grass, Fighting, Ground attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Heracross-Mega resists or ignores those matchups.
  • This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.
