Heracross (Mega) in Emerald Imperium
Bug / Fighting — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.
Compared with the official games
Against the base species it is built from:
- Stats Attack 125 → 185, Defense 75 → 115, Sp. Def 95 → 105, Speed 85 → 75 (total 500 → 600)
- Abilities gains Skill Link and loses Swarm, Guts, Moxie
Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Emerald, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.

- Egg moves: Harden, Bide, Flail, Revenge, Pursuit, Double-Edge, Seismic Toss, Focus Punch, Megahorn, Rock Blast
