How to Catch a Heracross in Pokémon Silver

A Heracross is an incredibly rare blue beetle-like Pokemon that first appeared in the second generation -- gold and silver -- Pokemon games for the Gameboy Color. This particular Pokemon does not appear in wild grass anywhere in the game, nor can it be captured by normal means. Instead, you will need to have a Pokemon with the TM "Headbutt" and go to a specific zone. And even then, the chance of finding a Heracross is very slim.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Travel to any mountain area -- such as Route 42. Heracross can be found in any mountainous region.

   • 2

     Walk up to a tree and use the Headbutt TM on said tree. A Pokemon will fall out and start a battle. If it is a Heracross, whittle it down to 1/4 life and use your strongest Pokeball to catch it.

     Continue headbutting trees until a Heracross drops out. It will most likely take quite a while before you get a Heracross.
