Heracross first appeared in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. In the episode, several Heracross and {{p|Pinsir}} were having a territorial dispute. One of the Heracross followed Ash and {{ashfr}} as they tried to figure out a solution to stop the dispute, which, unsurprisingly, came in the form of Team Rocket. Team Rocket was stopped thanks to the Heracross, and the Pinsir were able to return to their forest, leaving the Butterfree and Heracross. However, the same Heracross was still intrigued by Ash and followed him for a little ways out of the forest. Eventually, Ash saw it following and the Heracross happily allowed itself to be captured. | Heracross first appeared in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''.

Heracross' battle debut came in ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'' where it battled one of [[Rochelle]]'s {{p|Donphan}}, easily outclassing it before the battle was interrupted. Although it lost a subsequent battle to her most experienced Donphan, Ash was satisfied that it had gained significant battle experience. It scored a significant victory over Blade, [[Shingo]]'s {{p|Scizor}}, in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. Although it had trouble initially, with its {{m|Leer}} attack ineffective when Blade used {{m|Quick Attack}}, and then held in the air by its horn, Heracross' reaction time of 0.18 allowed it to pry out of Scizor's claws and then land a damaging {{m|Horn Attack}}. When Blade used {{m|Agility}}, Heracross sat and waited, forcing Shingo to choose between his laptop data and watching the battle. Eventually, Heracross managed to anticipate Blade and hit hard with {{m|Fury Attack}}. Shingo abandoned his laptop and began to order Blade's battle, where the two proved to be very powerful. However, Heracross managed to dodge Blade's Quick Attack, knocked it off balance when it attempted a {{m|False Swipe}}, and finished Blade off with Horn Attack. | Heracross' battle debut came in ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'' where it battled one of [[Rochelle]]'s {{p|Donphan}}, easily outclassing it before the battle was interrupted.

Heracross reappeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it was intended to be sent to Ash. However, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} was sent instead. It did join Ash for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where it was used for Ash's battle with [[Nando]] in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''. It was put up against [[Nando's Kricketune]], and sent flying by {{m|Silver Wind}}. Kricketune then used {{m|Sing}} to put Heracross to sleep. However, while asleep, it was able to dodge Kricketune's {{m|Fury Cutter}} attack, because of the newly learned {{m|Sleep Talk}} attack, and combine it with an also newly learned {{m|Focus Punch}}. After it woke up, it had a fierce clash with Kricketune, which Heracross ended with a powerful {{m|Megahorn}}/{{m|Horn Attack}} combo, just before Kricketune attempted another Sing. After the battle, Heracross showed its affection towards Ash by "sucking on" his head. | Heracross reappeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it was intended to be sent to Ash.

It seemed to be an excellent choice, with a double type advantage over the Dark type and a recently learned {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which collided with {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}. It tried to attack Darkrai with {{m|Horn Attack}} but was put to sleep by {{m|Dark Void}}. Due to Sleep Talk, it was able to hit the legendary Pokémon with a {{m|Megahorn}}, only to be defeated when Darkrai used {{m|Dream Eater}}, which allowed Darkrai to recover some damage dealt by Heracross. | ||
