Deal With It.
Just posting to say that all four of my threat lists posts are done and that I would now like to reserve Lucario and Heatran.
Heatran
Typing: Fire / Steel
Base Stats: 91 HP / 90 Atk / 106 Def / 130 SpA / 106 SpD / 77 Spe
Abilities: Flash Fire, Flame Body (Dreamworld: Unreleased)
Heatran is a very versatile Pokémon, that runs a variety of different sets: offensive, defensive; you name it, Heatran can do it all. With great balanced stats and a unique and effective typing, Heatran can run a very viable offensive set which, when backed by a Life Orb or a Choice Specs, has the power to rip through whole teams. Slapping a Choice Scarf on Heatran makes it a great revenge killer as it outspeeds many popular sweepers Pokémon - such as Thundurus - without a boost, whilst being able to finish most off with a STAB Fire Blast. Heatran also has a variety of support options, and it's defenses are very respectable on the whole. With moves such as Stealth Rock, Roar and Taunt, the only thing that stops Heatran from becoming a prominent special wall is it's lack of reliable recovery which is somewhat remedied with Protect and Leftovers.
Lucario
Typing: Steel / Fighting
Base Stats: 70 HP / 110 Atk / 70 Def / 115 SpA / 70 SpD / 90 Spe
Abilities: Steadfast, Inner Focus, Heart of Justice (Dreamworld: Unreleased)
Lucario is a great sweeping Pokémon that can hit hard from both ends of the spectrum with it's decent mixed attacking STATs. The best thing for Luc however, are the two boosting moves that come with it: Swords Dance and Nasty Plot. These moves, when combined with great STAB moves in Close Combat and Aura Sphere, along with priority in the form of Extremespeed and Vacuum Wave, make Lucario a Pokémon that must be treated with extreme caution. Lucario also has the ability to run an effective Choice Specs set, dealing great damage and also having the ability to revenge kill dangerous threats such as Excadrill - after some prior damage - with Vacuum Wave. A counter for Lucario is a must on any team, and one should always be wary if Lucario is seen in the team preview.
