Pokemon of the Week: Heracross!

   So every Friday I'm going to post a Pokemon of the Week. I'll show how I use them when I battle and explain it the best I can. So, without further adieu, the Pokemon of the Week is...Heracross!
                                                                            Heracross

                                                            

   Heracross is a Bug/Fighting type with the abilities Swarm and Guts. His Hidden Ability it Moxie. If you're playing ORAS you can find him in the Safari Zone. If you're playing X or Y you can find him on Route 12 (In Y only) or in a Bug Type Friend Safari in both X and Y. Hidden Abilities are hard to get, but they are worth it in the long run. 
   In ORAS he is in the top left corner of the Safari Zone in the tall grass. Use your DexNav to look for Heracross after you've caught one. It'll eventually tell you what Ability it will have as you search for it more. It will take awhile to find a Heracross with Moxie (Its Hidden Ability) but you will eventually. And if you have X or Y it's pretty easy to find a Hidden Ability in a Friend Safari, so just make sure you have one with Heracross in it.
   Next, Adamant is the best Nature for it to have. Naughty will work too. Once you catch it, be sure to Super Train it according to its IVs and Nature so it'll be strong. Don't stop until you've maxed out its stats. 
   Now for the moveset. A good moveset for a Moxie Heracross is Megahorn, Close Combat, Brick Break, and Sleep Talk. Sleep Talk is just in case your opponent puts you to sleep. 
   Finally, it is best for it to hold a Muscle Band. It boosts the power of Physical Moves by 10%. Since all of the moves in the suggested moveset are Physical, this is a very good item for it. You can also use a Choice Band, which raises the Attack stat 50%. The only downfall to this item is that you can only use the first move you select.
   So that's how I use my Heracross. You can suggest the next Pokemon of the Week in the comments or feel free to suggest other ways to use Heracross!
