Is Heatmor Good in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Playthrough?

Fire-type with AbilityFlash Fire and decent mixed offenses. Handles Molayne with Fire. Slow and too fragile on the special side to compete with Arcanine or Chandelure for the Fire slot.

105 Sp. Atk and 97 Attack with AbilityFlash Fire absorbing Fire for a boost. Mixed Fire TermStab from both sides. But 65 Speed and 85/66/66 bulk leave the moveset unable to survive or outpace the format's threats. Stats spread too evenly without excelling anywhere.

Moves List

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Heatmor won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 11 types means it always has an effective option. Overheat and Flare Blitz anchor the STAB core.

Heatmor Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Flash Fire changes the entire equation for Heatmor. The 484 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Firelash with Firiumz is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Milotic (Water), Swampert (Ground), and Rhyperior (Rock) when using Heatmor. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Firelash, Giga Drain, Sucker Punch, and Thunderpunch on Heatmor. Firelash is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.

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.
