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 his {{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' 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.
