i like it. it looks more like an fighting type pokemon and still is a bug type and when i used mega heracross. it could defeat 2 of my friends pokemons a with a single hit easily.
 
I uh... Well his stats are very impressive, bit disappointing ability. Only being able to make use of bullet seed and arm thrust, I see why no one uses this. Game freak what are you trying to do? This looks like you guys are trolling us.

Heracronite can be found in Santalune Forest, between 8-9 PM, after Sycamore upgraded your Mega Ring to detect the damn things postgame - but only in Y, so if you're playing X, you're kind of screwed re: the Mega Stone.

Also, Skill Link is actually a pretty fucking good ability for this thing - namely because a number of multi-hit moves have been buffed quite a bit. For example, Pin Missile was buffed to have a base power of 25 - so five hits of that in a row means 125 base power - making the move slightly more powerful than Megahorn and more than slightly more accurate. Combined with Bullet Seed and Rock Blast (which can be bred on the thing and provide a really nice counter for the Flying-types Heracross is x4 weak to!) both having the same 5-hits-with-25-base-power-each - and that ridiculous fscking physical attack stat to back it up... yeah. 'Disappointing Ability' my armor-plated-posterior. Arm Thrust is less powerful than it could have been, but Heracross learns Close Combat, does it really need any other fighting move? <<;

The design, however, leaves much to be desired. I do appreciate the fact it actually looks a bit more like a Hercules Beetle, but it's still rather meh in comparison to 'cross itself. Ah well. I suppose it can afford to be temporarily hideous for the sake of becoming a gatling catapult. xD
 
"Flick of the wrists" sorry, I had to lol. In all seriousness, its defenses are really good but its ability is a little disappointing. Not that it's bad but not what I expected.
