Heracross (Japanese: ヘラクロス Heracros) is a Bug/Fighting-type Pokémon.

In the anime

Heracross first appeared in EP119. Pinsir and Heracross were having a dispute due to the fact that Team Rocket was siphoning all the tree sap from the Pinsir side of the forest. One Heracross decided to help Ash and co. for this crisis. Ash captured Heracross at the end of the episode.

Ash sent Heracross back to Prof. Oak's lab in EP146.

In AG107, a Heracross was owned by a teenager named Gordon. Gordon's Heracross saved Ash's Pikachu from falling while Ash's Swellow was busy saving Max from falling and it helped Absol and Ash's May's and Brock's Pokémon with long-range attack push a boulder in order to stop a flood. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a female Heracross's horn has a heart-like shape at the end.

Trivia

Origin

Name origin

Heracross's name is a combination of Hercules, or Heracles, and the word cross. This Pokémon is based on the Hercules beetle, hence the first part of its name. However, its appearance is obviously based on the common species in Japan. The French name is a combination of scarab; a species of beetle that's sacred in Egypt, and rhino; as in rhino beetle. The German name comes from Scarab and horn.
