Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Heatran's spread. It leans special with Sp. Atk out front. And you'll get 3 Sp. Atk EVs per KO for it. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
It dwells in volcanic caves. It digs in with its cross-shaped feet to crawl on ceilings and walls.
Boiling blood, like magma, circulates through its body. It makes its dwelling place in volcanic caves.
Heatran Weakness
Ground, Water, and Fighting moves hit Heatran for super-effective damage. Ground hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. It resists 9 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Flash Fire grants an additional Fire immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Heatran's overall bulk (91/106/106) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Best Locations to Catch Heatran in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
Heatran Guide
For the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire meta, At 600 BST, Heatran is built different. We rank it A-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a wallbreaker. Stealth Rock with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Rhydon (Ground), Starmie (Water), and Blaziken (Fighting) when using Heatran. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Rhydon is the most dangerous since Ground moves deal 4x damage. Heatran has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Heatran gets Flash Fire and Flame Body. But Flash Fire is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. On wall sets, Flash Fire pairs with Heatran's base 106 Defense to absorb physical hits on the switch.
Heatran is leaning toward the special side (base 130 Sp. Atk). Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 77 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the wallbreaker role.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Heatran has answers, but so do you. Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Physical attackers can break through.
Game Availability
