Is it possible? Been lookong for hours all had tackle horn attack leer and endure. Need one with night slash before i advance anymore in game

It can learn it, you just need a Heart Scale because it gets it from the Move Relearner. He's located in Blackthorn City, in a house near the Poke Mart.

I need to know if i can catch one that already knows it. Not going to progress through the game more if i can catch one that knows it now.

There's no way to legitimately obtain a Pokemon at Level 1 unless it's through breeding, and Heracross is mentioned to learn Night Slash at that level. Some Pokemon that learn moves at Level 1 only learn them from Move Relearners so that's why I mentioned him, because Heracross will likely only learn the move in that method.

According to this: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Heracross_(Pokémon)/Generation_IV_learnset#By_leveling_up

Heracross learns 5 moves at level one. Night Slash is listed in-game as the first move, and because wild Pokemon movesets are based on the most recent four moves, no it is not possible.
