A good Heracross moveset
 
I would need a good Heracross moveset. I've already caught a Heracross on FireRed and I've trained it to lv.64. It currently has:
Endure
Reversal
Mega Horn
Earth Quake
I'm going to trade it to Emerald when it gets stronger and I'm going to battle on the frontier with it. Can you rate it's moveset or post a better one?

I think it's a standerd Heracross moveset, but you can replace Earthquake with Rock Slide to beat flying types. Seeing you already have Emerlad, you can teach Rock Slide from the move tutor in Battle Frontier.

here's an evil one...
heracross @ salac [adament]
evs: 252att, 252 speed, 6hp
-sub
-reversal
-megahorn
-sword dance

watch out for pokemon faster than it. usually just sub up, and if you can, sword dance up, then megahorn(or reversal when you're in a pinch).

for pokemon faster than it, if you have a sub up then you should be fine. just keep subing until salac activates, then kill it with reversal. reversal with one sword dance sweeps everything even if they're resistant. this pokemon sweeps everything. watch out for quick attack/extreme speed or hail/sandstorm users.

haha you'd be surprised. with sword dance it can OHKO pretty much anything, including gengar and weezings. gengar is tricky cuz it's faster, but you should only switch heracross in when an opponent rest or something. so you can sub and sword dance up.

edit: funny i battled a team with gengar and claydol just now. i switched in heracross against breloom, KO'd it with megahorn, then sub up against fortress, who used rockslide(sub held up). sword dance up, and after that rest is history. gengar was OHKO'd by megahorn and clydol by reversal. this heracross just kills everything. it's very very evil. i use it to finish off teams(usually when i see their pokes and maybe weaken them), he just finishes off the entire team.

heres an odd one that i've used... and swept whole teams with before(they didn't have t-tar... and i had a sub up):

[email protected]
252 Attack/252 Speed
Jolly>> Swarm
Substitute
Swords Dance
Reversal
HP rock/rockslide

Yeah so sub swords dance as much as u can, then keep subbibg+sding, and once ur down to one hp just reversal nd hp rock the whole way...

that's kinda like mine :S but no STAB and has rockslide instead. i guess that works, but after sword dance megahorn kills everything anyways. i like megahorn cuz it allows heracross to kill things even without sword dance(grass and psychic types) and not giving them a chance to break your sub.
