So Heracross did drop after all. This surprised me actually, I thought it would always be on the lower edge of OU. I might actually end up playing on the UU ladder again to give it a go. Maybe. Just a little.
Anyway, am I the only one who thinks that, when considering all possible sets, Heracross is overall better off with bulk investment as opposed to speed investment? Or at least a healthy mixture of the two. Oh and that CBCross should run Double Edge, especially if Adamant. Because a wallbreaker should be less concerned with surviving long enough to try and kill everything, and more concerned with not being easily walled in the first place.
All of this fits in with the whole 'Hera isn't a sweeper, it's a wallbreaker supreme' idea, that makes perfect sense to me.
On another note, Nidoqueen is a pretty shitty Hera counter if you ask me. She would need to run Rivalry to mitigate the risk, at which point her damage output against most Pokemon becomes severely compromised. This is on top of the fact it has to run the overspecialized Aerial Ace just to do 'respectable' damage, not necessarily KO damage by any means. I only mention this because I heard it suggested somewhere as a possible counter.
