[SET COMMENTS]
Offensive Heatran serves as an effective wallbreaker with its powerful Magma Storm and Z-Moves while also functioning as a reliable Stealth Rock setter, pressuring common entry hazard control like Tornadus-T and Terapagos. Earth Power grants key coverage against opposing Fire-resistant foes like Toxapex, Mega Diancie, and opposing Heatran. Grassium Z with Solar Beam is the main combination, as it allows Heatran to lure and OHKO Water-types such as Alomomola, Slowbro, and Mega Swampert while also dealing a good amount of damage to Mega Tyranitar and Garchomp. Alternatively, Toxic cripples threats like Ting-Lu, Mega Latios, and Mega Charizard Y, while Hidden Power Ice threatens Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Garchomp. Taunt stops walls such as Galarian Slowking and Toxapex from pivoting out or using a recovery move, letting Heatran overwhelm them with Magma Storm's chip damage. Heatran can also use Firium Z to hit foes with a powerful Inferno Overdrive, which OHKOes most Landorus-T sets. However, without the combination of Solar Beam + Grassium Z, Heatran won't break past the Water-types mentioned above. Air Balloon is another option, granting Heatran an immunity to Ground-type attacks like Landorus-T's Earthquake, Mega Charizard Y's Scorching Sands, and Mega Diancie's Earth Power, letting it beat or force out Ground-types 1-on-1 when paired with Hidden Power Ice. Air Balloon also helps Heatran against opposing Heatran by avoiding Earth Power and threatening it back with its own Earth Power. Modest nature allows Heatran to OHKO defensive Landorus-T with Inferno Overdrive, while Timid nature helps Heatran outrun Raging Bolt.

Heatran fits best on bulky offense and balance teams, where its ability to trap and remove problematic walls shines the most. Volcarona and Raging Bolt are teammates that appreciate this ability, as they both benefit from Heatran trapping and removing walls like Toxapex and Galarian Slowking. Offensive Pokemon like Kingambit, Tapu Lele, and Mega Diancie benefit from Heatran's ability to pressure opposing Steel-types like Melmetal, Ferrothorn, and Gholdengo, and they also appreciate its access to Stealth Rock. Due to its weakness to Ground-type attacks, teammates like Landorus-T, Zapdos, and Tornadus-T are appreciated. Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Urshifu-R, and Rillaboom are great partners thanks to their ability to threaten opposing Ground-type Pokemon, such as Ting-Lu and Great Tusk, for Heatran. Rillaboom, in particular, provides Grassy Terrain support that offers passive healing, something Z sets lack, for improved longevity. Despite the combination of Grassium Z and Solar Beam, Heatran is generally weak against Water-type foes like Slowbro, Alomomola, and Ogerpon-W; therefore, Pokemon that can handle them, such as Tapu Koko, Raging Bolt, and Ferrothorn, are great partners. Heatran also likes partners that can switch into Fighting-types, like Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny, that threaten Heatran with an OHKO; these include Pokemon like Landorus-T, Gholdengo, and Zapdos. Teammates that carry entry hazards removal, like Gliscor and Terapagos, are solid teammates for Heatran due to its vulnerability to entry hazards and complete lack of recovery without Leftovers. Although Heatran is a solid check to offensive Pokemon like Volcarona and Tapu Lele, its lack of recovery doesn't allow it to repeatedly switch into their attacks. Therefore, defensive Pokemon that check these threats, such as Toxapex and Gholdengo, are solid partners.

Earth Power grants key coverage against opposing Fire-resistant foes like Toxapex, Mega Diancie, and opposing Heatran. Grassium Z with Solar Beam is the main combination, as it allows Heatran to lure and OHKO Water-types such as Rotom-W Alomomola more relevant and Mega Swampert while also dealing a good amount of damange damage to Mega Tyranitar and Garchomp. Alternatively, Heatran runs Toxic to cripple threats like Ting-Lu, Mega Latias Latios more relevant , and Mega Charizard Y, while Hidden Power Ice threatens Gliscor and Garchomp. Taunt stops walls such as Galarian Slowking and Toxapex from pivoting out or using a recovery move, letting Heatran overwhelm them with Magma Storm's chip damage. Heatran can also use Firium Z to hit foes with a powerful Inferno Overdrive, which OHKOes most Gliscor and Landorus-T sets. However, without the combination of Solar Beam + Grassium Z, Heatran won't break past the Water-types mentioned above. Air Ballon balloon is another option that grants Heatran an immunity to Ground-type attacks that threaten it with an OHKO, such as Earthquake from Landorus-T, Scorching Sands from Mega Charizard Y, and Earth Power from Mega Diancie. it’s worth noting how well air balloon sets do into opposing Heatran.

Heatran fits best on bulky offense and balance teams, where its ability to trap and remove problematic walls shines the most.

Due to its weakness to Ground-type attacks, teammates like Skarmory, Slowbro, and Alomomola, which can switch into the Ground-type attacks, are appreciated. Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Urshifu-R, and Rillaboom are great partners thanks to their ability to threaten opposing Ground-type Pokemon, such as Ting-Lu and Great Tusk, for Heatran. Rillaboom, in particular, provides Grassy Terrain support that gives Heatran's Bloom Doom a boost in power mention how rolls provides passive healing as well something Z sets lack. Despite the combination of Grassium Z and Solar Beam, Heatran is generally weak to Water-type foes like Slowbro; therefore, Pokemon that can handle the Water-types, such as Tapu Koko, Raging Bolt, and Ferrothorn, are great partners.

Heatran can also use Firium Z to hit foes with a powerful Inferno Overdrive, which OHKOes most Gliscor The most common Gliscor set rn lives from full so find another example and Landorus-T sets. However, without the combination of Solar Beam + Grassium Z, Heatran won't break past the Water-types mentioned above. Air balloon is another option that grants Heatran an immunity to Ground-type attacks that threaten it with an OHKO, such as Earthquake from Landorus-T, Scorching Sands from Mega Charizard Y, and Earth Power from Mega Diancie. Mention that this works well with HP Ice so you can beat/force out Grounds 1 on 1. Air balloon also helps Heatran against opposing Heatran by avoiding Earth Power and threaten back with its own Earth Power. Talk about the choice between modest and timid, talk about how modest always OHKOs fat defensive lando with Inferno Overdrive and how timid is faster than raging bolt (and everything that creeps for raging bolt but we can't actually say that so just say Bolt)

Heatran fits best on bulky offense and balance teams, where its ability to trap and remove problematic walls shines the most. Volcarona and Raging Bolt are teammates that appreciate this ability, which both benefit from Heatran trapping and removing walls like Toxapex and Galarian Slowking.

Due to its weakness to Ground-type attacks, teammates like Skarmory, Slowbro, and Alomomola, which can switch into the Ground-type attacks, are appreciated. Not a huge fan of these mentions since Skarm is niche and the other two can get overwhelmed by strong STAB Ground-moves, talk instead about teammates like Zapdos, Torn-T, Lando, etc. Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Urshifu-R, and Rillaboom are great partners thanks to their ability to threaten opposing Ground-type Pokemon, such as Ting-Lu and Great Tusk, for Heatran. Rillaboom, in particular, provides Grassy Terrain support that boosts Heatran's Bloom Doom What does this power boost explicitly help out with? while also offering passive healing—something Z sets lack—for improved longevity. Despite the combination of Grassium Z and Solar Beam, Heatran is generally weak to Water-type foes like Slowbro; expand on this, mention other waters like Alo and Waterpon therefore, Pokemon that can handle the Water-types, such as Tapu Koko, Raging Bolt, and Ferrothorn, are great partners. Heatran also likes partners that can switch into Fighting-types, like Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny, that threaten Heatran with an OHKO, like Landorus-T, Gholdengo, and Zapdos.
