    Heracross has better Attack,while Scyther is stronger in Special Attack. Obviously if you're wanting a nice Bug type, you'll want to go with the one with stats that most compliment the area. Heracross learns Megahorn and its all around movepool is better than Scyther's. And Pinsir is worst of the three.

    • The only downside of Pinsir is that in GBC games, he can't learn any Bug-type moves except Fury Cutter and most of his moves are 100% resisted against Ghost-types. Regardless, I'd still stick with him.

    If you're playing Crystal, get Scizor for his awesome animation

    Edit: Oh, Scyther / Scizor can't learn Bug-type moves either... But they can learn Reversal, Steel Wing, Wing Attack, Swords Dance, Slash, Pursuit, and Quick Attack :o

    I like Pinsir myself. Scyther is worthless unless you evolve it, and then it is too slow. Pinsir is faster than both Scizor and Heracross, and for that I'm willing to give up the 5 or 10 base attack. Pinsir is also better on defense than Heracross.

    Scyther is obviously the worst of the three, thats why they had to have it evolve.

    • Just because a pokemon isn't the strongest of the three doesn't mean it can't be the best. When you play pokemon, you got to add a little bit of flair to your team right? I mean, it would be boring if everyone used the same pokemon....
    Oh wait, they kind of do. :D

    One of the neat parts about heracross though is that it is part fighting type. Heracross is usually the only bug or fighting pokemon I'll ever use, so it can definatly help out my team in some situations...

    Scyther is the coolest.

    Heracross most powerful.

    Scyther much easier to get though.

    Your choice.

    • Scyther's good just because he has great speed, but if you enjoy knocking other furry little creatures out... brutally, Heracross is the way to go. Personally, I'd choose Scyther because he looks cool. The game's easy enough anyway. :p

    I think that heracross is the best because you can beat everyone for his speed!

    yes, i recommend either Pinsir, or Heracross(leaning more towards Heracross)...even if the idea of having a Scyther for the later advantages of having a steel pokemon does sound nice....its still not worth it...

    Pinsir is the coolest, IMO, but probably the weakest until DP (maybe even still).
    The best is obviously Heracross, but the thing is way too OU for my taste.
