Stats & Training
The stat budget goes to damage. Sp. Atk and Attack carry the offense, Speed doesn't even come close. An Anteater Pokemon on a medium-fast 1M XP curve, worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs per KO.
It breathes through a hole in its tail while it burns with an internal fire. Durant is its prey.
Using their very hot, flame-covered tongues, they burn through Durant’s steel bodies and consume their insides.

Best Locations to Catch Heatmor in Black & White
Heatmor Guide
In Black & White, Flash Fire changes the entire equation for Heatmor. The 484 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as an attacker. Fire Blast with Salacberry is the standard set.
Flash Fire is what you want on Heatmor. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Gluttony, White Smoke) work on paper but Flash Fire is what makes Heatmor worth using.
At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Heatmor is a mixed attacker with base 97 Attack and 105 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as an attacker.
In Black & White, run Fire Blast, Giga Drain, Will O Wisp, and Hiddenpowerrock on Heatmor. Fire Blast is the most common pick at 24% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Heatmor joined the series in Black & White and has been available in 7 titles so far. With 6 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
