Sparring Partners Raid Day

Heracross and others are featured in a raid day!

Another raid day is upon us! This time featuring multiple Pokemon in different raid Tiers, and a new move to boot. Definitely try to get your hands on a Heracross, as this region-exclusive Pokemon doesn't come around often.

Mega Heracross is fantastic as both a Bug and Fighting type attacker. It's often the top contender whenever Bugs are called upon and a respectable second when Fighting types are necessary. |
