Pokémon Go Heracross counters, weaknesses and moveset explained How to battle Heracross in three-star raids! Guide by Lottie Lynn Guides Editor Updated on 26 Feb 2022 Heracross, one of the regional Pokémon in Pokémon Go, is making an incredibly rare appearance in raids across the world. Heracross is considered quite rare outside of its exclusive regions, so, if you're one of the many trainers who can't catch it in the wild, this is the perfect time to add it to your Pokédex! Heracross will be appearing in three-star raids throughout the Ultra Unlock 2021: Space event and whether you can defeat it by yourself depends on your experience with Pokémon Go. Even if you're an experienced trainer, however, you still need to know Heracross' counters and weaknesses!

Heracross has only made a couple of appearances outside of this region as part of in-game events, including appearing in three-star raids during the Ultra Unlock Part 2: Space event of August 2021.

Heracross moveset in Poké mon Go Heracross can use a variety of Fast and Charged moves in Pokémon Go, including: Fast Moves: Counter (Fighting) Struggle Bug (Bug) Charged Moves: Close Combat (Fighting) Earthquake (Ground) Megahorn (Bug) Everything else we know about Heracross Corsola is the other regionally exclusive Pokémon from Gen 2. Heracross is one of the two regionally exclusive Pokémon from Gen 2, with the other being Corsola, and can be found in South America, southern Florida and Texas. Ultra Unlock 2021: Space marks the first time Heracross has been made available outside of these regions and the release of its shiny form. Heracross' design most likely takes inspiration from the Japanese rhinoceros beetle, sharing its central horn. These beetles are known for their strength and are often used in insect fighting - a fact which mostly likely inspired Hearcross' bug and fighting-type combination. Interestingly, when Heracross was first released in Pokémon Silver and Gold, it could only be found by headbutting trees in specific routes. Due to this, Heracross could be a rather tricky Pokémon to find if you weren't experimenting with headbutt! Good luck catching Heracross in Pokémon Go!
