⚔ How to beat Heatran

  • Ground hits for ×2.56 — Heatran's Fire/Steel typing is double-weak, so those attackers outperform their score gap.
  • Watch its Fire/Bug/Steel/Rock/Ground moves — counters like Groudon (Primal) and Excadrill take super-effective damage from them.
  • Clear weather boosts Ground moves ×1.2 — the best time to battle Heatran.

Rankings are estimated cycle DPS (attack stat × move damage ÷ cycle time, with STAB and type effectiveness). Not a full battle simulation.
