Tips For Hunting
The best way to shiny hunt Heracross is to run around Reveler’s Road while making sure to despawn the spawns. Another option is to town reset by entering and leaving Mossui Town. Running around Reveler’s Road is more effective as there are more Heracross spawns. Shiny Heracross can be easily noticed so you don't have to worry about missing the shiny.
