Heatran gets 2hko'd by Choice Band Outrage. Only counters I saw in my 51 matches were Ferro (CB Outrage did 47%, so 2hko with with a layer of spikes), Skarmory (did around 40%) and Forretress (I forget lol, similar to Skarm I'm sure). I'm sure there's more but there's a common theme to its counters in that they are all weak to Magnezone. The better way to defeat it is to lock it in Outrage, let it kill something then revenge it. Obviously this is not a healthy way to deal with threats in the metagame. I know its early but so far I feel it needs to go.
