Mega Heracross OU Team

Ok, so the basic idea here was to build a team that could really exploit MHera to the fullest. It seemed at the end, the best idea was dual screens, and spikes to ward off Aegislash and such. I found it pretty easy to get Heracross started after screens went up. I originally had Cress running my screens, but after I saw how Aegislash tore me up I decided to run Deo-D to set up spikes seeing that I had no entry hazard beforehand. So, without further ado, here goes.


Heracross +Heracrossite/Skill Link/Adamant
252hp/252atk/4def
Vacuum Wave/Megahorn
Rock Blast/Swords Dance

I am personally pretty proud of myself for this set. I put down Vacuum Wave to give him priority over those super speedy Megas like Aero, Absol, Houndoom etc. and also for STAB. I put down Megahorn for STAB and just the raw power of the move. After a SD, virtually no one lives this move. The rock blast was obvious because of Skill Link, and it really does a number to Skarmory. The SD really gives Hera overkill in some matches and it is relatively easy to put up after screens.

Excadrill+Leftovers/Mold Breaker/Jolly
128hp/128atk/252spd
Rapid Spin/Stone Edge
Earthquake/Swords Dance

I was really tempted to put Scolipede here but my better judgement stopped me. Excadrill spins off hazards that hurt Heracross and he does a ton of damage of his own. I picked a swords dance kind of set because I believe that there are too many moments when some annoying wall is out and you could just easily set up on it and sweep.

Deoxys-D+Rocky Helmet/Pressure/Calm
252hp/252spd/4def
Spikes/Light Screen
Reflect/Toxic

Plain and simple, Deoxys is my support. He can set up spikes, take a couple hits, set up screens, and poison with toxic if he gets taunted. I don't really have much other reason for putting him here.

Rotom-W+Leftovers/Levitate/Modest
252hp/252sp.atk/4def
Volt Switch/Thunder Wave
Hydro Pump/Pain Split

Rotom is here to annoy, this ground or fire types, and help for easy switch ins. Like I said earlier, Hera is easy to set up under screens, but getting him in is much different. He literally has to be under screens or not switching into a hit to get in.

Genesect +Expert Belt/Download/Naive
Rock Polish/Psychic
Ice Beam/X-Scissor

Genesect is simply a filler here, as he helps against those ever so annoying fairies. He checks most Noivern sets, and can run through a team after Rock Polish. I was kind of torn when it came to him or having a Porygon2.

I'll have to finish Hydreigon later, sorry about that but he has fire blast,flash cannon d metro and focus blast.
