I guess, although Toxic Spikes only makes Heracross happy.

It's not countering Infernape with 80% Acc. I'll tell you that.

Hera, yes, but I don't see it anywhere in reality matching up with Breloom and Spore =/

UnStabbed Facade just to kill Gliscor and Weezing, hell no
It's like, using Rock Slide to hit Flying Types with 10 less power.
Keep it if you want, but in all reality, you should consider Stone Edge.
Oh, and more HP since Speed's not going to save its life in any way, shape or form.

I would say, Eww Sleep Talk, but uh, I dunno anymore.
This team is like, 6 levels of weird o.O
All I can say is don't let Gliscor die or else Scarfed Heracross will have a parade with nonstop Close Combat.

shadow_ki6 January 18th, 2008 7:53 PM

umm this might be just me
but shouldn't heracross have jolly as its nature or be holding choice scarf
so that it can outrun more pokemon/treats
giving it a better ability to sweep xD

Kittyipawd January 18th, 2008 8:00 PM

yeah ifheracross gets OHKO'ed by somone who outspeeds him quipped with fire , flying move it wiill put your work in the trash i say agilty over swords dance , just predicted and try to get on a WoW

Iceman3k January 18th, 2008 8:40 PM

The only way to use CB Heracross is through The Art of the Predictive Eye. It's far too slow to rely on Speed, even with a Jolly Nature.

If someone is going to use Heracross for Speed, let them run Adamant w/Choice Scarf.

Arcknight316 January 18th, 2008 9:58 PM

Passing to Choice Sets doesn't really work.

Samson January 19th, 2008 2:53 AM

i don't know why people say that. regardless, being able to pass swords dance gives your team a whole lot diversity and allows heracross to OHKO-2HKO what it usually wouldn't. it doesn't matter if it has CB. CB just allows it to not completely depend on getting an attack boost if gliscor can't make its way into battle.

how exactly does snorlax beat heatran? heatran just continually uses Earth Power while snorlax does pitiful NVE hits to it. it would be able to take heatran out if stealth rock was out rather toxic spikes, but unfortunately, you seem confident in toxic spikes. you completely rely on starmie to take heatran out in that case.

the biggest issue that i see with this team is that it is much too physical based. once starmie is out of the picture, your team would really have an issue with skarmory. you'd have to depend on parahax from jirachi to prevent it from stalling a lot of damage out of your team.

It can work, but you risk losing the boost to a switch

This team needs a another Special/Mixed Sweeper. Cant think who to remove... Both of the phys walls are sort of involved in its strategy.

Anti January 19th, 2008 9:15 AM

Samson, people say that because...well, example:

You use Ambipom (<3) to pass nasty plot to your Specs Pory Z, and you outpredict your opponent and OHKO their switch-in with thunderbolt. Then Swampert comes in and you lose your boost.

While on some occasions it could be okay, it generally gives your opponent a set-up turn or let a powerful attacker destroy your switch-in.

Oh, don't forget HP Fire Magnezone which destroys Forry...though those are too rare to really mention anyways.

A bit of a Vire Weakness (well, the ones that carry a fire move anyways), but not so bad.

And you should copyright the saying "this thing juggernauts everything." It made me lol so hard lol

Scarf ties with Focus Sash at being one of the worst idems ever indroduced in D/P.

Of course, but it does have it's merits.

After an SD, CB Megahorn even has a chance to 2HKO Dusknoir, so I'm not worried, and what ghosts can get past Lax?

^Everything here is true =)

Stall it out of Fire Blast PP with ReSTalk and maybe (P)haze it out. Without Explosion or Metal Sound, it cannot beat Lax.

I just may consider Thunder>Body Slam then on Jirachi.

Why? Heracross beats every single physical wall in existance.


@ Anti: I'm only weak to Flamethower carrying Vires and how many people do have one? Though for the stanard MixVire, I EVed Foretress to survive 3 LO boosted Thunderbolts with Light Screen, while I 2HKO with EQ. And between LO recoil and Toxic Spikes, he won't be along very much. So meh.
