Info:
species: Heatran
National Dex entry: 485 (4th Gen.)
Ability: Flash Fire Battle effect: When Pokémon is hit by a Fire attack, the power of the Pokmon's Fire moves are boosted 1.5x.



base stats


HP: 91

Attack: 90

Defense: 106

SpAtk: 130

SpDef: 106

Speed: 77



now let's get down to some good 'trans, no?




good heatran sets


stealth rock heatran? NO WAI!
Heatran@Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP, 120 Def, 136 Sp. Atk
- Lava Plume/Flamethrower
- Stealth Rock
- Metal Sound
- Earth Power/Dark Pulse

The only reason why this thing can even work is Metal Sound. Metal Sound can force so many switches, its just amazing. If they don't switch, its more amazing. 30% min on a max HP Blissey if you use Lava Plume. Anything else is as good as dead. For this, I'd prefer lava plume since its more of utility than anything. Last slot is down to preference and team. EVs designed to survive CB Jolly Weavile's Brick Break.




TankTran!


Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP 140 Def 116 Sp.Atk
- Will-o-Wisp
- Flamethrower
- Protect
- Earth Power/Dark Pulse

With Heatran's great resistances, this can work fairly well. Switch into a move this big guy resists and wisp on the switch. Protect stalls time for Lefties to heal you and scouts for CB attacks. Not to mention, it speeds up the burning up process.







well, not finished. will finish tonight/in the morning before work.

I have to admit, at first I figured Heatran as a bad legendary, but, after recently training & battling with one, I am surprised. Comes in handy for type resistance and super effective fire attacks. Plus, it makes for a good Revenge Killer. cackle.gif

Choice scarf heatran may be useful, but a HP ice naďve heatran is hard to get legitimately =/

Yeah...
But that's just one option.
You can also choose HP Grass or Dragon Pulse.

Flamethrower adds a little bit more power, that could come in handy. Its also worth mentioning the burn rate which is even better for annoying the opponent. Why dark pulse? I think dragon pulse or hp ice, might be better. Why? because it hits everything for neutral, except steel and the fire moves take care of steel.

I think Taunt should be considered, it will only allow pokemon to use attack moves. Sine it is a tank, you could always, go for magma storm, while there is 70% chance it will hit, it is also like sandstorm with some extra damage each turn. Obviously, it would be great in addition to will-o-wisp. Also instead of will-o-wisp, you could use toxic, since damage gets higher each turn iirc.


well, not finished. will finish tonight/in the morning before work.



I think that a bulky choice specs set would work, as well as a choice scarf set. Bulky choice specs/life would probably have 252hp and 136 in attack and evs spread out, in defence, would probably be great for absorbing and dishing out hits
