Heatran is a powerful offensive breaker and trapper, utilizing its defensive typing and stats to switch in on offensive threats like Tapu Koko and offensive stats to wear down opposing defensive cores. Earth Power allows Heatran to beat Raging Bolt and otber Heatran among others. Hidden Power Ice can help deal Ground-types like Landorus-T, Garchomp, and Gliscor. Solar Beam in combination with Grassium Z can get the jump on Water-types like Alomomola for example. Heatran can also run Toxic, wearing down the opponents walls, or Taunt, preventing the opponent from using healing moves like Recover or Rest. over the generically powerful Stealth Rock to cripple defensive walls like Slowbro. Air Balloon allows Heatran to be immune to Ground-type moves it'd normally be quad weak (I don't know the what term they use in analyses is) to. Firium Z provides a more powerful STAB move to kill targets that'd normally survive its Magma Storms. Timid nature allows Heatran to out run Adamant max Speed Rillaboom, Dragonite and Great Tusk among others, while Modest allows Heatran to (NHKO *Pokemon*). Flash Fire, providing Heatran with a Fire-type immunity and a handful of winning matchups, notably is used due to not investing enough bulk for reliable uses and activations of Flame Body.

Heatran fits best on bulky offense and offensive teams, preying on defensive pokémon like Ferrothorn that it runs circles around. Heatran's trapping allows Special attackers like Calm Mind Raging Bolt and Iron Valiant to more comfortably set up and sweep, being able to wear or break down special walls that'd otherwise be a problem for these teammates. Heatran is weak to most Water-types like Ogerpon-W and Urshifu-R, and to most Ground-types like Ting-Lu, so Grass-type teammates like your own Ogerpon-W and Rillaboom make a good fit. Rillaboom in particular makes for a great teammate, providing Grassy Terrain for passive healing and weakening Earthquakes that could prove challenging otherwise, and momentum with U-turn, luring in Pokemon like Mega Scizor that Heatran can check. Other pivoting options are also appreciated, Pokemon like Tapu Koko, pulling in Pokemon like Ferrothorn to counter. and Landorus-T, baiting Pokemon like Diancie Mega to check, pair well with Heatran. Hazard removal options mesh well with Heatran, as it dislikes hazards hindering its ability to switch in and check opposing Pokemon, Landorus-T specifically pairs well with Heatran, being able to run Stealth Rocks and free up the last moveslot for Heatran. Pokemon like Great Tusk or Corviknight are teammates one should consider.

Heatran is a powerful offensive breaker and trapper, utilizing its defensive typing and stats to switch in on offensive threats like what? and offensive stats to wear down opposing defensive cores. Mention Earth Power here(tdeals with Pokémon like opposing Heatran and Bolt Hidden Power Ice can help deal Ground-types like Landorus-T and Garchomp might be worth it to mention Gliscor., while Solar Beam in combination with Grassium Z can get the jump on Water-types like Alomomola for example. Heatran can also run Toxic or Taunt over the generically powerful Stealth Rock to cripple defensive walls like Blissey just got UR’ed, also isn’t really that relevant or Slowbro. Toxic and Taunt do very separate things, so split them into their own sentence. Also mention what Stealth Rock, Air Balloon, Firium Z does, explain Timid or Modest nature, and maybe why Flash Fire over Flame Body.


Heatran fits best on bulky offense and offensive teams, preying on defensive cores that otherwise would run circles around similar teams rephrase this sentence to mention actual defensive Pokémon that Heatran threatens. Heatran's trapping allows Special attackers like Calm Mind Raging Bolt and Iron Valiant to more comfortably set up and sweep what does Heatran trap for Bolt and Ival to sweep?. Heatran is weak to most Water-types like Ogerpon-W and Urshifu-R, and to most Ground-types like Ting-Lu, so Grass-type teammates like other your own Ogerpon-W and Rillaboom are great teammates. Rillaboom in specific particular makes for a great teammate, providing Grassy Terrain why is this helpful, I know this sounds obvious but this is for newer players that might not know and momentum with U-turn might be worth mentioning what Rillaboom lures in for Heatran. Other pivoting options are also appreciated, Pokemon like Zapdos and Landorus-T pair well with Heatran mention what they lure in that Heatran can threaten, might want to add that Landorus-T also provides Stealth Rock so Heatran dosen’t have to run it. Hazard removal options mesh well with Heatran, as It dislikes hazards hindering its ability to switch in and check opposing Pokemon, Pokemon like Rapid Spin Great Tusk or Defog Corviknight realistically you are never seeing a Great Tusk without Rapid Spin or a Corv without Defog are teammates one should consider.

Heatran is a powerful offensive breaker and trapper, utilizing its defensive typing and stats to switch in on offensive threats like Tapu Koko Heatran has a moderate chance of getting 2HKO’d by Thunderbolt from full, and get’s 2HKO’d with the slightest chip, maybe name something like Tapu Lele or Opposing Heatran and offensive stats to wear down opposing defensive cores. Earth Power allows Heatran to beat Raging Bolt and otber Heatran among others. Hidden Power Ice can help deal Ground-types like Landorus-T, Garchomp, and Gliscor. Solar Beam in combination with Grassium Z can get the jump on Water-types like Alomomola name like 1 more example( maybe Ting-Lu or any water type Except pex )for example. Heatran can also run Toxic, wearing down the opponents walls not what I meant, mention how Toxic cripples Pokemon that switch into Heatran on the switch, like Ogerpon-W, Ting-Lu, and Slowbro, or Taunt, preventing the opponent from using healing moves like Recover or Rest mention how Heatran can stall break with taunt + Magma Storm. over the generically powerful Stealth Rock to cripple defensive walls like Slowbro.mention how Heatran is a good stealth rock setter (forces a lot of switches + common forms of removal don’t like switching in) Air Balloon allows Heatran to be immune to Ground-type moves it'd normally be quad weak (I don't know the what term they use in analyses is) to. the correct term would be something like “very weak”, also mention how it can get a free switch on ground type moves and punish them) Firium Z provides a more powerful STAB move to kill targets that'd normally survive its Magma Storms like what?. Timid nature allows Heatran to out run Adamant max Speed Rillaboom, Dragonite and Great Tusk among others, while Modest allows Heatran to (NHKO *Pokemon*) mention examples please. Flash Fire, providing Heatran with a Fire-type immunity and a handful of winning matchups, notably is used due to not investing enough bulk for reliable uses and activations of Flame Body.

Pokemon like Great Tusk or Corviknight are teammates one should consider. <- merge this sentence with the one where you mention hazard removal options
