Game data

Abilities

  • Swarm

    Boosts the power of the Pokémon’s Bug-type moves by 50% when its HP drops to ⅓ or less of its max.

  • Guts

    It’s so gutsy that having a status condition boosts the Pokémon’s Attack stat by 50%. Being burned does not halve the damage dealt by the Pokémon’s physical moves.

  • MoxieHidden

    When the Pokémon knocks out a target with an attack, it shows moxie, which boosts its Attack stat.

Passive (unlock)Technician

Boosts the power of the Pokémon’s moves by 50% if their power is 60 or less.

Egg moves

  • Rock BlastRockPhysical25 pow · 90%

    The user attacks by hurling hard rocks at the target. This move hits 2-5 times in a row.

  • Storm ThrowFightingPhysical60 pow · 100%

    The user attacks by striking the target with a fierce blow. This move always lands a critical hit.

  • Iron HeadSteelPhysical80 pow · 100%

    The user slams the target with its steel-hard head. This move has a 20% chance of making the target flinch.

  • Scale ShotDragonPhysical25 pow · 90%Rare egg move

    The user attacks by shooting scales 2-5 times in a row. This move boosts the user’s Speed stat but lowers its Defense stat.

Unlock costs

Candy needed for a cost-5 starter:

Passive ability
25 🍬
Cost reductions
12 / 35 🍬
Same-species egg
18 🍬
The price only drops once you have hatched enough Heracross eggs: 16 🍬 after 15 hatches, 13 🍬 after 30 hatches, 9 🍬 after 60 hatches.
Friendship needed per candy
150

Expensive starters ask for fewer candies, but earn them far more slowly: Heracross needs 150 friendship per candy, while a cost-1 starter earns one every 25.
