GET EQUIPPED WITH
Ok, I have been searching for a Heracross for days now, and I'm getting pretty desperate. I've looked all over the web for help, but most of the info contridicts something else. Therefore, I have a simple question: In Pokemon Crystal, have any of you caught a Heracross on Route 29, Route 32, or Azalea town? These are the apparent "hotspots" for 'Cross I have access to, since I wanna have it before I face Whitney. If you did, how long did it take and how often did you switch trees?
 
I thought you could catch them from the bug-catching game thing?
 
^That would be Pinsir. Heracross stick to the trees. I think it's because they like tree sap or something.
 
I think I've said this once but I'll say it again; I found Heracross easily while headbutting on Route 29, but that was on Gold. I don't know if there's a difference between that and Crystal (on the subject of Heracross catching, anyway), but I don't see a lot of reason for there to be one, so...
 
I CAUGHT ONE!!!!...Ok, not really, but I found one at least! Ran out of Pokeballs so I couldn't get it...Found it on Route 46, which is a hotspot for them I guess. I decided to wait earlier because I thought you didn't have access to the route until much later...There goes 4 hours of my life...BUT VICTORY IS SWEET! Male/Female nickname suggestions for when I do get around to catching one?
 
Heracross, Heracross... Well they're based off of the stag beetle, I believe. I did a bit of research and the scientific name is Lucanus elaphus Fabricius. Perhaps you could mess around with that a bit, combining it with some other random words to make a nickname? That's what I usually do.
For a female, maybe you can mess around with the stag beetle's order, which is Coleoptera.
 
As a Latin student, messing around with the scientific names would be fun. However, I named mine Karnov because that was the last NES game I played. If only Heracross could breathe fire...and if only you knew what I was talking about =P
 
I don't know what you're talking about (I'm so ignorant about oldie games), but congrats on finally getting one. This is why I always stick to the more common Pokemon: so I don't tear out my hair trying to find this one elusive critter.
 
Thanks. I'm just pissed because this whole fiasco could have been avoided if I just moved on to Route 46...first tree I headbutted yielded a Heracross. 20 hours and I only have 3 Badges. Bah.
 
I donr know if you already got one, but I used up 5 hours trying to catch one...When I finally found one it was thanks to Sudowoodo, after his first headbutt(OMG!)
After that I was so happy I trained my Sudowoodo so hard that it acctualy reached level 70 in my Crystal game BEFORE I reached Lance.

Lol. But dont be angry- I thought, in red, that Kadabra evolves at level 100, and trained him all the way up to level 70 in diglett cave. OH THE DISAPPOINTMENT WHEN MY RED GAME DISAPPEARED!!!!!!!!!!!
