Heracross

Performance Metrics

Heracross has a reported usage rate of 1.10% and win rate of 45.13% in BSS Regulation M-C (Pokemon Champions) (displayed tier: E). The report covers 09/26/2026 to 10/10/2026, with 17,743 recorded battles. 176 wins and 214 losses (390 recorded team appearances). Usage is recorded team appearances divided by twice the report battle count; win rate is wins divided by wins plus losses for teams containing this Pokemon. Neither metric measures individual strength. Small samples can produce extreme percentages.

Usage Trends

Usage was 0.95% in the first available period (Period 1: 2026/09/26 23:13–2026/09/30 19:33 JST; n=8,872 team slots) and 0.69% in the last available period (Period 4: 2026/10/07 16:25–2026/10/10 23:06 JST; n=8,870 team slots), a change of -0.26 percentage points. This endpoint comparison does not describe every intervening period or explain the cause; small samples can fluctuate substantially. Periods without sample counts are excluded. Win rate was 48.81% in the first available period (Period 1: 2026/09/26 23:13–2026/09/30 19:33 JST; n=84 recorded appearances) and 39.34% in the last available period (Period 4: 2026/10/07 16:25–2026/10/10 23:06 JST; n=61 recorded appearances), a change of -9.47 percentage points. This endpoint comparison does not describe every intervening period or explain the cause; small samples can fluctuate substantially. Periods without sample counts are excluded.

Rating-band Observations

Across 5 available rating bands, usage ranged from 0.87% (~R1182; n=7,100 team slots) to 1.46% (~R1076; n=6,902 team slots), a spread of 0.59 percentage points. Overall usage was 1.10%. Bands use battle-average ratings, not individual player skill. Missing bands are excluded; differences are descriptive, not evidence of statistical significance.

Recorded Moves

Among the returned moves, Close Combat has the largest recorded team-use count (45; ties may occur). Move counts refer to distinct team appearances with a recorded use by this Pokemon, counting each side once per battle. The displayed percentage divides that count by this Pokemon's distinct recorded team appearances under the same report filters. Both sides of a mirror battle count separately. This is not moveset adoption. Unused moves and missing move records cannot be distinguished here. These data do not establish which move is strongest or underused.

Teammate Observations

In the returned frequent-teammate sample: Garchomp: 42.8% wins in 180 recorded pair observations; Blaziken: 34.3% wins in 99 recorded pair observations; Tyranitar: 41.2% wins in 97 recorded pair observations. These are team-level outcomes with both Pokemon on the roster, not a measurement of synergy. Other teammates, player selection and small samples can affect these percentages.

Opponent-team Observations

Returned higher-win-rate opponent group: Scizor: 66.7% wins in 18 recorded pair observations; Volcarona: 63.0% wins in 27 recorded pair observations; Blastoise: 61.1% wins in 18 recorded pair observations. Returned lower-win-rate opponent group: Metagross: 27.6% wins in 29 recorded pair observations; Gholdengo: 28.1% wins in 57 recorded pair observations; Primarina: 32.2% wins in 90 recorded pair observations. Wins refer to the team containing the focal Pokemon when the named Pokemon was on the opposing roster. They are not direct one-on-one results or proof of a counter; sample sizes and other team members matter.

Interpretation Limits

These summaries describe the collected battles within the report period. Team composition, player selection, repeated players and incomplete records can affect results. Differences do not establish causation, statistical significance or a recommended build.
