Collector Insights
Heracross is a Grass-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: "Pitch," which costs one Colorless energy to deal 10 damage and forces the opponent to switch the defending Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon, and "Horn Slash," requiring two Grass energy to deal 30 damage plus an additional 30 if a coin flip results in heads. The card has no resistances and is weak to Fire, taking 20 extra damage from such attacks. It was released in the Diamond & Pearl set in May 2007 as a Rare card. The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, and the flavor text highlights its behavior of gathering tree sap in forests and its physical strength. The card’s design aligns with its Grass typing, emphasizing its connection to nature and combat prowess. Its dual attack options provide versatility in gameplay scenarios.
It gathers in forests to search for tree sap, its favorite food. It's strong enough to hurl foes.
