Heatran Weakness
Ground, Water, and Fighting moves hit Heatran for super-effective damage. Ground hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. It resists 9 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Flash Fire grants an additional Fire immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Heatran's overall bulk (91/106/106) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
| Damage | Types |

| 4x (Critical) | Ground |

| 0.5x (Resist) | Normal, Flying, Psychic, Dragon |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel, Fairy |

Base Stats
Heatran Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
For the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon meta, At 600 BST, Heatran is built different. We rank it A-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a wallbreaker. Earthpower with Leftovers is the standard set.
Heatran is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Heatran appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Rhydon (Ground), Starmie (Water), and Blaziken (Fighting) when using Heatran. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Rhydon is the most dangerous since Ground moves deal 4x damage. Heatran has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Heatran gets Flash Fire and Flame Body. But Flash Fire is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. On wall sets, Flash Fire pairs with Heatran's base 106 Defense to absorb physical hits on the switch.
Heatran is a special attacker with base 130 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 77 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Game Availability
Since Diamond & Pearl, Heatran has appeared in 14 games. Legendary Pokemon like Heatran are usually found through story events or special post-game areas rather than random encounters.
