Heatran's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Heatran PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Heatran is a powerful Fire/Steel-type Legendary Pokémon that boasts good offensive as well as defensive stats, but we found it shines the most as a counter Pokémon versus Bug, Grass, Ice, Fairy, Poison, and Steel Pokémon. There are different builds for Heatran, but all of the top ones are based around Magma Storm or Flamethrower. These two are strong Fire-type moves, but Magma Storm is the go-to move on Heatran.

  • Fire Spin and Magma Storm deal high super-effective damage to Bug, Grass, Ice, and Steel type Raid Bosses. As a bonus, Heatran also resists each of the types that its Fire-type attacks are super-effective against! 😮
  • The inclusion of its signature move, Magma Storm, improved Heatran's damage output by roughly 10% compared to its next best move. You can also get it with an Elite Charged TM.

Not to mention, its typing gives it an incredible 10 resistances, which make Heatran a formidable presence in the meta.

That's all good and great, but Heatran has a glaring problem: Shadow Heatran exists, and Shadow Heatran performs 20% better than regular Heatran with no real downside. If you have Heatran and a Shadow Heatran, prioritise Shadow Heatran, or keep your Stardust for something else in the Fire-type department (Blacephalon, Reshiram, Mega Charizard Y).

Heatran PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Heatran finds decent use in the Great League thanks to its many resistances, but doesn't really make an impact in the long run. Fire-type attackers are aplenty in the lower PvP Leagues, and Heatran doesn't justify the high investment for a Legendary when other options exist.

🟡 Ultra League

Heatran is not impressive enough in the Ultra League, where more Fire and even Steel types become prominent, leaving it in the dark. Just power it up more for the Master League.

🟣 Master League

The Master League is Heatran's real home! All its perks come to fruition in this format when it beats major names like Zarude, Zacian (Hero), Dusk Mane Necrozma, Togekiss, Mewtwo, Dialga (base and Origin), and Xerneas! Heatran is bulky, resists some of the biggest threats, baits shields, and grabs some impressive wins. A solid Master League pick!
