    Heracross@Choice Scarf
    Guts
    Adament Nature (+Atk, -Sp Atk)
    IVs: 29 Atk, 30 Spd rest in mid-high 20s
    EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
    -Megahorn
    -Close Combat
    -Stone Edge
    -Pursuit/Shadow Claw/Night Slash

    Ok the problem I have is the last move, Pursuit is nice for destroying pokemon as they leave, and allows me to choose another move afterwards, but Shadow Claw and Night Slash have the high critical hit ratio, do more consitent damage.

    So question is, which move would be best on my Scarfcross
     
    I would have to say pursuit cause on wifi people are switchaholics so u can inflict nasty damage.
     
    i would suggest giving heracross earthquake over Megahorn for 3 reasons: choice scarf makes megahorn pointless, 2, earthquake will give you better opportunities for sweeping a team, and 3, megahorn's accuracy is not ideal for trying to sweep.

    as of Pursuit vs Night slash... it's up to you. if you can guarantee that guts gets activated, than go with pursuit. if not, then go with night slash. shadow claw isn't much different, really. it just doesn't hit normal types, which i suppose no normal types would switch into heracross.
     
    Megahorn is always a good stab.

    Though Earthquake as Samson said would be helpful when sweeping. Night Slash would be a better alternative also. So it's either any of those two.
     
    Hmm I suppose that if Hera knows the dark/ghost move he doesnt need to have Megahorn for the physics, as they will be taken care of regardless...

    Ok Megahorn will be dropped for Earthquake, but I still dont know about the last move
