Heracross is a Bug/Fighting-type Pokémon (National Dex #214) with a middling stat total of 500. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A, Sword & Shield, BDSP and Legends: Arceus, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Attack at 125, which makes it a slow but heavy-hitting attacker. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Heracross takes super-effective damage from Flying at 4×, and Fire, Psychic, Fairy at 2×. It resists Grass, Fighting, Ground, Bug, Dark. Its ability options are Swarm, Guts, Moxie, and you choose which one your copy carries.

In-game, Heracross has 68 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (20), Legends: Z-A (6), Sword & Shield (9), BDSP (28), Legends: Arceus (5) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Legends: Z-A, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Heracross ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
