On either side of the horn is a short antenna with a spherical tip. Heracross has oval, yellow eyes. Its forearms have a pair of spikes near the wrists, while its thighs have a single spike each. It has two claws on its hands, and a single long claw on each foot. There is a single pair of wings covered by its carapace, which can been seen during its release from a Poké Ball in the 3D games.

+Heracross is a bipedal, {{wp|Coleoptera|coleopteran}} {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in a blue exoskeleton. There is a long, pronged horn on its forehead. The horn ends in a cross on males and a heart-shape on females. On either side of the horn is a short antenna with a spherical tip. Heracross has oval, yellow eyes. Its forearms have a pair of spikes near the wrists, while its thighs have a single spike each. It has two claws on its hands, and a single long claw on each foot. There is a single pair of wings covered by {{wp|elytron|elytra}}, which can be seen during its release from a Poké Ball in the 3D games. Heracross's claws allow it to dig into the ground for sturdy footing and also allow it to climb trees. Using its horn, it throws opponents or competitors for food. It can lift and throw objects 100 times its own weight. It uses its two antennae to search for food by scent. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Heracross is known occasionaly sleep while licking the sap it finds.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>The reason is due to Heracross becoming exhausted from a potentinally hard search for sweet sap. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|boreal, temperate, and tropical forests}}, where it feeds on tree sap. In [[Generation II]], {{m|Megahorn}} was its [[signature move]].
-Mega Heracross is bulkier than its previous form. Thin orange markings now rim its head, hands, and shoulders. Additionally, there is a half-circle, orange marking over its eyes. It now has a long, pointed nose that curves slightly upward. Its back now lacks wings and is completely yellow. The horn on its head has grown into a large, simple spike with two smaller spikes on the front. The antennae have lengthened as well, and now have ovoid tips. Mega Heracross's forearms have thickened and lost their spines. This Pokémon has a high body temperature, so it opens the shells of its arms and torso to allow heat to escape.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Heracross</ref> Mega Heracross boasts such incredible strength that it can lift objects up to 500 times its own weight between its horns. However, it is left with muscular soreness after reverting to its original form.
+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}}. In [[Alola]], Heracross get along better with Pinsir, as they both have rivalries with {{p|Vikavolt}}.

Mega Heracross's forearms have thickened and lost their spines. Sometimes, when attacking, particularly with a [[multi-strike move]], its exoskeletal shell on the upper side of its arms opens up, revealing a segmented yellow skin layer filled with holes, which let air enter and exit from its forearms. During these attacks, its claws simultaneously retract, allowing Mega Heracross to fire [[Bullet Seed (move)|various]] [[Pin Missile (move)|types of]] [[Rock Blast (move)|ammunition]] at a rapid pace.

 ==Trivia==
 * 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. The Pokémon are also version exclusives in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]. Heracross can be found on the [[Isle of Armor]] if playing Shield, whereas Pinsir can be found in its place when playing Sword.
-* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Heracross has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all non-legendary {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, and the highest Attack of all non-Legendary Pokémon.

-* Mega Heracross has the highest base Attack stat of all Bug-type Pokémon.
 * Mega Heracross is tied with Mega Pinsir, Mega {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Genesect}} for the highest base stat total of all Bug-type Pokémon.
 * Heracross is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
+* Heracross is the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
