4th Gen How long for Heatran....

[LadyRavenfire]

How long does it usually take to catch Heatran? I've been working on him FOREVER and no progress so far.

Well... Heatran's catch rate is 3 so.. it'll be pretty hard. Use this catch rate formula to figure out how much of a chance you have of catching Heatran. Carry plenty of Quick Balls, Timer Balls and Dusk Balls, as these will be most effective.https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Catch_rate

In other words it could take a while. It also helps if put him to sleep or something similar. In fact I'm pretty close to versing him on my Pearl.

It took me 3 hours on diamond...

 

[Fierce.]

OUCH! Three hours. Thats a long time, suddenly I'm not looking forward to fighting Heatran :(

 

[Tinhead Bruce]

I'd suggest using.... maybe a level 55 Ground type? They really dish out the hurt to Heatran, but the level is so you won't kill it. Victory Road is the perfect place to catch such a poke.

 

[LadyRavenfire]

OMG I just got him!!! *laughs maniacally* FINALLY!!!

 

[Fierce.]

CONGRATS! Now its my turn to catch him.

 

[LadyRavenfire]

Thanks and good luck - you'll need it with this guy. :D

Omg, it took me hours catching Heatran with an Ultra ball. It probably took me 30 something times, but that was my pearl version. In my diamond version I caught it with a dusk ball and it took me like 13 times, so I'm guessing try to catch heatran with a dusk ball cuz its in a cave and make sure ur doing it at night time as well. lol ;D

 

[Fierce.]

Nooo. I accidently KO'd him for the second time.
