- Choice Scarf allows heracross to outspeed and deal massive damage to many faster threats, such as lati@s
- Megahorn gives Heracross a way to hit Cresselia, a quality that few fast physical attackers have
- Rock Slide 2hkoes nearly every Flying-type Pokemon, but some priority support will be needed to keep Heracross alive

- Trick Room Heracross can go quite unnoticed, but completely wreck and strategies focusing on tailwind, chlorophyll, or swift swim.
- Heracross is one of two Pokemon to resist Hitmontop's main priority attacks (the other being Toxicroak), allowing it to easily attack without prediction.
- Flame Orb prevents Amoonguss or Parasect from Sporing everything
- Jellicent or Cresselia are the best candidates for setting up TR, as they provide the offensive power to muscle through almost every Pokemon
