Kato and Kiko also make a brief appearance in the credits when they are seen eating corn on the back of a tractor.

| Kato used Heracross in the tag battle against Ash and Dawn over the watermelons that Kato and Kiko had collected but had washed down the river. In the battle Heracross was partnered with Kiko's Beautifly and proved to be a very strong opponent. Nevertheless, it was defeated by Pikachu's Thunderbolt while trapped by Piplup's Whirlpool. After the battle, it was seen enjoying the watermelons along with the others.
Heracross's known moves are Megahorn, Horn Attack and Hyper Beam. | ||
