        Heatran in the meta

        Heatran in the meta

        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        Heatran is a powerful Fire/Steel-type Legendary Pokémon that boasts good offensive as well as defensive stats 💯.

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

        The inclusion of its signature move, Magma Storm, to its arsenal made Heatran a premium Fire-type attacker that can hang around for a pretty long time in battle 🙂

        ⚔️ Raids - 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! 😮

        Go with Heatran, you won't regret it! 😎

        🛡️ Gyms - Legendaries can't be put in Pokémon GO Gyms.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Fire Spin got a slight damage buff in the Max Out Season. This, along with Heatran’s moveset, stats, and resistances, gives this Legendary use in all PvP Leagues ✅

        🔵 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 Zacian (Hero), Dusk Mane Necrozma, Togekiss, Mewtwo, Dialga (base and Origin), Primarina, and Xerneas! 🤩

        Heatran is bulky, resists some of the biggest threats, baits shields, and grabs some impressive wins. A top-notch Master League pick! 👏

        Mega Pokémon that boost Heatran

        Photobomb

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Heatran's Fire and Steel-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Heatran.

        Fire Fire

        Steel Steel

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                  Catch probability with multiple throws

                  In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Heatran, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                  To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                  Catch rate formula

                  Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                  • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                  • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                  There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                  Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.

                  Catch rate multipliers

                  The following table shows all the different catch rate multipliers in Pokémon GO:
