I’ve seen people say Fire is a bad defensive type but when you pair it with Steel, you have the most 4x resistances in the game due to sharing common resistances, plus getting a neutrality to Stealth Rock, immunity to Toxic and sandstorm. Not to mention Fire being the second most resistant type after Steel with 6. This alongside Flash Fire, flexibility, power and bulk make Heatran one of the best OU Pokémon of all time.

I have a very soft spot in my heart for Heatran because of the Eruption event from Guardian Signs. The game means more to me than you could imagine, and it’s heartwarming that this game that’s changed my life had an event move exclusive to it like that. The twist? We didn’t have Internet back then so I never actually got one. Yes, I know about the whole Wiimmfi thing, but that doesn’t directly impact my nostalgia in any way. TLDR; bring back Eruption Heatran for a future game so we can actually use the da** thing.

These other mons allowing us to use these typings at all outside of uber restrictions was something I was waiting for.

I didn't realize quite how much variation Heatran has before I watched this video. Its crazy how every time it runs in to something that beats it, the mon just seems to adapt its moveset and end up insane regardless. Each individual Heatran has counters, but Heatran seems to have the ability to counter everything and fit on to any team style. Its also completely unique among pokemon in what it does, as its the only steel type in the game that can also completely shut down enemy fire types, and it just has an amazing mix of offense and defense. It doesn't feel as broken as other mon because it doesn't have the setup potential or speed to just singlehandedly sweep entire teams by itself, but its so consistent game in and game out that it can just always seem to pull its weight in a team and give you a distinct advantage for using it.

Disappointing that you didn't mention how unique and centralizing specifically Eruption Heatran was in 2013 VGC. Eruption + Fire Gem was overbearing enough for Wolfey to dub Heatran one of the top 10 most toxic Pokemon of all time back in a 2020 video. It eviscerated everything, and gem mechanics made it even worse to deal with because a gem wouldn't be consumed unless it successfully damaged another Pokemon, meaning an eruption into protect(s) or opposing Flash Fire wouldn't consume the item. Both Aaron and Ryosuke's 2013 teams were Eruption, and the nature lock to Quiet made it play more or less completely differently from non-Eruption Heatrans. Ryosuke's was min speed while Arash's non-Eruption Tran was 252 timid.

Another amazing short film False Swipe. Heatran is the greatest fire type of all type. It has incredibly utility, powerful offense, amazing dual typing, and defensive merits that allow it to synergize with a variety of team structures. It truly has it all. It will never be bad and is almost always guaranteed to benefit from the new mechanics and changes each gen. Even in the ground type heavy meta game featuring Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Landodorus-T, and Ting-Lu, it still thrives. Heatran is often the glue that can hold teams together and sets the standard for teambuilding. I don't ever see that changing in the foreseeable future.

one of my favorite mons to use of all time. for some reason, mine is always called "rita" and female =D. Have a lot of fun using it on gen8, it could be defensive and annoying with toxic, taunt and rocks or just surprise anyone with a scarf eruption set

Heatran is one of those pokemon that many people i meet seem to dislike or just find underwhelming while i on the other hand have adored it sense day one, its really nice to see that its been pretty consistently preforming good. Ya love to see it.

(gen 8) I think you missed to mention the importance of Rillaboom's popularity on heatran's viability. Like, most of the winning teams you shown used that core. On gen 7 that wasn't possible (on VGC) due to Bulu's lower viability and popularity Amazing film I enjoyed every minute 😍

I'm surprised they didn't go over Heatran losing Toxic this generation, it hasn't slowed down but it still is pretty important to note

@darianclark3980 11 ай бұрын

54:40 never in my life I would ever hear that Grass is a good defensive typing. . . . Dang, Heatran must be that great!

@worldiefeard8396 11 ай бұрын

To be fair, depending on the metagame ofc, Grass *is* a good defensive typing. Water and Ground are 2 of the most common offensive typings, with water's amazing neutral coverage (as well as Rain more or less always being a viable archetype) and Earthquake being on every other phisical attacker. Grass does, indeed, resist these, while also resisting Grass itself and Electric. Resistance to Grass is moderately important any time Rillaboom and/or Kartana exist, as well as the newcomer Hisuian Lilligant. Weakness to Ice is unfortunate, but this generation doesn't have that many Ice types around (and as far as smogon goes, most of the good ones got nuked to Ubers), and there is a distinct lack of strong flying stabs currently, expecially due to Tornadus-Therian taking a massive hit due to the moveset losses.

@bajanyaoikaizer6902 11 ай бұрын

Heatran should be a version exclusive to Volcanion Sinnoh didn't give players much fire types to work with during game play, but it more than made up for it in the post game with this guy/girl.
