It's something that I never really understood.
Heracross is a great Pokémon and all, I just found it very random how often it appears. And with its new Mega Evolution and the possibility of Ash potentially using reserves come League, I can't help but wonder: why all the Heracross love?
In case you've forgotten:
-Heracross got a decent amount of focus in Johto, at least in terms of strength with that Scissor episode.
-Heracross was used against Gary-Gary people, over Pikachu and won against a Magmar.
-Heracross was used in the Battle Frontier, so was Tauros-yes, but Muk and Kingler could have been its substitute as well
-Heracross was used in against Nando and against Tobias-against a freaking Darkrai.
I'll admit Heracross in the Nando battle and Tobias battle was amazing. And it's important to note I say all of this with love. I am by no means hating on Heracross as a Pokémon of Ash's. I think its actually quite cute and funny how it looks to sap off of anything and is a loyal Pokémon shown in a good light.
As a matter of fact, if Ash ever does face The Elite Four-any Elite Four, it'd probably be best to take Heracross with him actually given its track record-and seeing it Mega-Evolve in the Kalos League would be rather nice.
However, in the name of Kingler, Muk, Totodile, Bayleef, and even Ash's reserves for Unovoa who could have been on Heracross' level as a reserve but weren't, what makes Heracross so special to get this kind of treatment and not them?
