Whenever you start a Pokémon game, there’s a tacit understanding that most of the monsters you capture aside from your starter will be replaced by better options as you go along. Pokémon Legends: Z-A is proving to be an exception to that rule, and it’s all thanks to a bug-type Heracross called Bois. Bois has quickly become beloved within the community, both because of the meme-worthy name — my boy! — and its sheer strength. Bois is no joke. Bois might in fact be the entire reason you can progress or survive ordeals like the Pyroar in Zone 17.


It’s great to see the passion fans have for Bois the Heracross! Pokémon games have such a rich history, and it’s always interesting to see which characters resonate with players. Excited to see how the community continues to celebrate these favorites!
