[OVERVIEW]
Heatmor is a slow and frail mixed attacker; thus, it is outclassed by other Fire-types such as Rapidash and Ninetales thanks to their better bulk and Speed as well as access to boosting options.

Heatmor, thanks to its access to Fire Lash, might look like a budget Centiskorch, which was banned from ZU thanks to its insane wallbreaking power mainly due to this move; unfortunately, Heatmor doesn’t hold up to that title, being both weaker and frailer than Centiskorch and having less useful coverage moves for common metagame threats. It is also outclassed by more reliable Fire-types like Rapidash and Ninetales, which are faster and bulkier, and they also have access to better coverage and boosting options.
