This volcanic dweller has awoken and is ready to smolder its foes thanks to its excellent typing giving it some powerful, newfound moves! Make It Rain and Tachyon Cutter in combination with the boosts from Torch Song tear through common defensive pieces such as Tyranitar and Meloetta. Earth Power gets rid of foes that can take on its STAB combination such as Raging Bolt, Volcanion, opposing Heatran, and with enough boosts even RegenVest Toxapex. Leftovers can support Heatran's superb defensive typing, while Substitute + Air Balloon lets you safely set up on Ground-types such as Landorus-T and Gliscor. Tera Steel turns your Steel-type moves into nuclear threats, while Tera Grass lets you turn the tables on Water- and Ground-types like Volcanion, Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, as well as all Ogerpon formes. Without Tera however, Heatran falters against previously mentioned Ground- and Water-types as well as Fighting-types, which makes teammates such as Toxapex, Skarmory, Gliscor, and Landorus-T excellent partners. Heatran also appreciates faster allies such as Iron Valiant, Choice Scarf Gholdengo, and Latios, as they can both force out threats like Urshifu-R and Galarian Zapdos while also being able to clean up after Heatran has weakened the opponent's defenses.
