Heatran in sun is too hot to handle for UnderUsed! With Magma Storm's boosted damage and trapping effect, Heatran can trap defensive answers to sun teams such as Toxapex, Slowking, and Skeledirge and eliminate them safely. Earth Power damages Toxapex and Hisuian Arcanine, supports Heatran's trapping role, and hits opposing Heatran and Tyranitar. Taunt stops Slowking's Chilly Reception and recovery from the likes of Skeledirge and Latios. Solar Beam can pick up surprise KOs on Pokemon like Rotom-Wash, Gastrodon, and Keldeo. Air Balloon gives Heatran a Ground immunity against Clodsire and Hippowdon, which are used to deal with sun teams, and an advantage over opposing Heatran. Tera Ghost helps it deal with Keldeo and opposing Slither Wing. Pair Heatran with a sun setter like Ninetales or Torkoal, an entry hazard remover like Donphan or Mandibuzz to keep it from getting chipped every time it hits the field, and sun-dependent teammates like Slither Wing and Venusaur, which appreciate Heatran's ability to trap counters like Skeledirge and Toxapex, making these sun structures hard to handle. Heatran can check Gardevoir and Lokix, which are difficult matchups for sun teams.
