Heracross Pokémon cards
Heracross appears on 6 cards in the newest Pokémon sets, mostly as a Grass-type Pokémon. Here's every new Heracross card, which sets to look in, and the rarest one to hunt for.
Grass Pokémon are plants, bugs and forest Pokémon. Their Energy symbol is a green leaf.
How does Heracross evolve?
On its cards, Heracross doesn't evolve from or into another Pokémon. It also has 2 Mega Evolution cards — Mega Pokémon are extra powerful versions.
The rarest new Heracross card
The rarest is Heracross 194/193 from Paldea Evolved, a Illustration Rare card. One gold star. These show a Pokémon in a beautiful scene, like a painting.
Strongest and smallest
The Heracross card with the most HP (hit points) is Mega Heracross ex from Phantasmal Flames with 280 HP. The one with the least is Heracross from Twilight Masquerade with 120 HP. More HP means a Pokémon can take more damage before it's knocked out.
Heracross has 2 “ex” cards in the newest sets. Pokémon ex are big, powerful cards — but if one is knocked out, your opponent takes two Prize cards instead of one.
