Heracross is pretty good, but he's not the best

i dont know. scizor is better looking

Thicc horn

Best mon

Beetles are the most badass bug and he knows karate

Bugs are cool.

Kamen Rider

Unique typing until Gen VII, but UB are shit.
Simple, yet appealing design.
Cool, but not edgy.
And it's actually really good in-game.

Turns out fighting beetles are popular even outside of Japan.

Japanese loves those kind of bugs

KICK

Yes, yes they are.

Cool typing, simple yet effective design, cute but strong. Simple and not overdesigned like current poke'shit.

He's got a cool as fuck design but also looks super friendly. Like a big ol' beetle bro. Fantastic in battle, too.

Bugs are cool.

he's awesome

What makes this bug cool?

>garbage until gen 4
>shit until sheer force
>still mediorce at best
after catching a godlike iv adamant hidden ability krabby in PRO it's one of my favorites

bugs are just cool

He was in the cartoon

Great design and extremely useful in battle. If I can get one on my team I always use one.

its a bug type that dont suck

because it's strong

That's not a :3 mouth, it's its head.

...

THUNDER

lets ruin it with shitty INT and a useless ability

>posting 4th best bug
pic related is the 1st.

Good stats. Good move pool. Looks awesome. Reliable when you do find one. Awesome name.

How do you not like Heracross is a better question to be honest.

>dashing red
>cool as fuck design
>competitively viable

too bad its mega evolution is hideous

>Dumb clamp hands
>Ugly bright red, wants attention all the time.
>Useless wings
Scyther is cooler.

>no one to trade with so can never get these kinds of pokémon
It's like I'm reliving my childhood!

>chode chomper

Oh shit that killed me.

Because beetles are the fucking best.

bugs have always been the best type. cool design and concept

Is Heracross any good nowadays? I stopped playing after X, and I really, really disliked his mega form, even if it finally turned him into a hercules beetle.

>cant just give it run away or rattled as its hidden ability
>nope, gotta make sure it stays garbage
thanks john gamefreak

IT'S A GIANT BEATLE

My personal favourite for these reasons:
Shame the mega is kind of meh. Get one with adamant nature and moxie, give it a choice band and teach it Close Combat and it'll wreck through teams.

>make a Pokemon with a cool-ass design, awesome stat spread, and amazing movepool
>give it a horrible ability that literally makes it unusable even though it's intended to be "good"

I don't understand Gamefreak sometimes.

Ash had one so people were exposed to heracross a lot via the cartoon.
And if I recall, Ash's heracross had a decent track record for battling.

Its shiny and female forms look terrible

yes
the burn change made flame orb gutscross incredibly solid
he just still suffers from speed problems
if only he also got leech life

Post your bug team.

The mega is great. Its not shit yet not a straight upgrade. One of the few megas thats actually designed decently, both in visual and functional design

>First form is supposed to be a coward, and has a detrimental ability that results from it.
>Evolved form is meant to be brave, and has... the exact same ability but slightly reflavored.

Rate me

The Mega isn't bad at all. Like that other user said it's not really better or worse than the regular form, but it hits fucking hard and makes for an amazing wallbreaker.

I vastly prefer the regular form's design. Mega looks ugly.

>Seen so often but hardly ever linked to Scyther.
They both have great designs, just a shame Scyther is so underappreciated.

Nigga literally just ask /vp/.

that's not Shedinja

I was talking about its visual design specifically.

one of the few good pokemon from shitty gen 2

I never actually used one so I might do so on my next run of Silver.

Do you ask the sun "why are you the sun"?

Actually just did a Bug type only run of Emerald.

Beautifly
Dustox
Ninjask
Volbeat
Pinsir
Armoldo

It was rough going at first, but Pinsir basically sweeped 3/4ths of the E4 and Wallace for me. Bulk Up too strong.

When is game freak gonna throw up their hands and say 'that's it - we can't make anymore'?

Try again, sweetie.

Never and if they did we would get a case of Halo and some other guy will take over.

One of the first non-shit bug type, Anime appearance, had a niche in Ubers for some time, Solid design.

>tyrant shit
Move over fag.

If you are running mono-bug, Mega Sciz/Volcrona/Aquaranid is the strongest core to build around.

Japan loves collecting beetles and put them to fight each other
