Heatmor Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Flash Fire changes the entire equation for Heatmor. The 484 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Sucker Punch with Life Orb is the standard set.
Flash Fire is what you want on Heatmor. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Gluttony, White Smoke) work on paper but Flash Fire is what makes Heatmor worth using.
At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Heatmor is a mixed attacker with base 97 Attack and 105 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Sucker Punch, Flamethrower, Will O Wisp, and Hiddenpowerice on Heatmor. Sucker Punch is the most common pick at 0% usage. Flamethrower provides reliable STAB damage.
Game Availability
Heatmor joined the series in Black & White and has been available in 7 titles so far. With 6 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
