It has two claws on its hands, and a single long claw on each foot. There is a single pair of wings covered by is carapace, which can been seen during its release from a Poké Ball in the 3D games. | Heracross is a bipedal, beetle-like Pokémon covered in a blue exoskeleton.

Heracross's claws allow it to dig into the ground for sturdy footing or climb trees. Using its horn, it throws opponents or competitors for food. It can lift and throw objects 100 times its own weight. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, where it feeds on tree sap. As seen in [[EP119|the anime]], Heracross has been known to compete with Pokémon such as {{p|Pinsir}} for food. The same episode also shows Heracross allowing {{p|Butterfree}} to feed on tree sap after Heracross has finished its meal. In addition, it is shown to suck sap from {{type|Grass}} Pokémon such as {{p|Bulbasaur}}. | Heracross's claws allow it to dig into the ground for sturdy footing or climb trees.

* Heracross can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Pinsir}}, replacing {{p|Scyther}} in that role, which gained an evolution in Generation II. Both are {{type|Bug}} Pokémon based on beetles and lack an evolutionary family. Pinsir is not part {{t|Fighting}} like Heracross, but it learns several Fighting-type moves by leveling up. Both Pokémon and their [[Mega Stone]]s are versions exclusives in {{g|X and Y}}: Heracross and Heracronite are exclusive to Y while Pinsir and Pinsirite are exclusive to X. Each Mega Stone can be found in [[Santalune Forest]] in their respective versions. The heights of both Pokémon are the same, even when Mega Evolved. | * Heracross can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Pinsir}}, replacing {{p|Scyther}} in that role, which gained an evolution in Generation II.
