Heatran is a devastating wallbreaker in the current OU metagame because of its potent combination of Magma Storm, Taunt, and Toxic that allows it to consistently overwhelm defensive cores and other Pokemon, making it near unwallable. Its defensive typing, nice defensive stats, and Flash Fire also let it check some key threats in the metagame, namely Tapu Koko and Volcarona. Stealth Rock can be a good option over Toxic, since Heatran can easily pressure common Defoggers, like Corviknight and Zapdos, with the threat of being trapped by Magma Storm. Dragapult can be very hard to deal with when paired with Heatran, since Heatran overloads their shared checks like Tapu Fini, Tyranitar, and Hippowdon over the course of a game, making Dragapult very hard to deal with late-game. Tapu Lele is another great example of this; Heatran can cripple their shared check in Slowking with Toxic and Taunt, making Tapu Lele very hard to deal with. Slowking is also a great partner for Heatran, since it can switch into bulky Water-types like Tapu Fini and offers it a free switch in with Teleport.
