History

With Kricketina Kylie

Heracross and Kricketina Kylie

Heracross was Kricketina Kylie's first known Pokémon. In Trade, Borrow, and Steal!, Heracross was used to battle Ash in the World Coronation Series, where he went up against Pikachu. Despite a good fight and using powerful moves, Heracross was defeated.

Shortly thereafter, Kricketina takes Heracross to recover at the Pokémon Center, where he shows off to the people in the place. When Kricketina sees that Goh has a Pinsir, she offers Heracross in exchange for being a rare Pokémon in her home region.

Later, Heracross assisted Kricketina Kylie, Goh, and Ash in searching for a Pinsir, during this search, Heracross clears the way to facilitate the search for Pinsir. After throwing a tree away, Kricketina uses Heracross to defeat a wild Ekans. The group then decides to cook to try to attract something close to them, Heracross and Kricketina then start cooking a portion of "Kricketina Treats" to spread in the forest.

This ends up catching the attention of Team Rocket, who was days without food, and decides to capture the Pokémon of Ash, Goh and Kricketina. Despite this, they only capture Ash, Goh's Sobble and Kricketina, leaving Goh and Heracross free. This forces the two to battle a Drapion and a Scolipede that Jessie and James received for the Rocket Prize Master alongside Meowth.

This battle ends up catching the attention of Goh's Pinsir, who starts to have some kind of feelings for Heracross, eventually Heracross and Goh manage to defeat Team Rocket Trio and make them blasting off. Right after the battle is over, Goh captures a Pinsir who was attracted to the food left by Kricketina. Once Goh caught a Pinsir, his first Pinsir had fallen in love with Heracross, so Goh agreed to trade his newly caught Pinsir for Heracross.

In Getting More Than You Battled For!, during a search for Mew, Goh used Heracross to save Ash from sinking in a swamp. Due to his enormous strength, he ends up throwing Ash into the air, catching him shortly thereafter.

Personality and characteristics

Heracross and Pinsir

Heracross is a powerful battler. During his battle against Ash's Pikachu, he was able to use powerful moves against his opponent and was able to easily defeat Meowth and Jessie's Wobbuffet. When Goh's Pinsir saw Heracross in action, it fell in love with Heracross, what makes Pinsir always close to Heracross when they are at Cerise Laboratory. Heracross is also quite sociable, accepting Goh's commands even when he was not his Trainer or showing off to people who were at the Pokémon Center.

Heracross is also an excellent cook, helping Kricketina Kylie prepare food meant to attract Bug-type Pokémon around the forest.

During his time at Laboratory, Heracross enjoys training with some of Goh's Pokémon, such as Darmanitan.
