Heatran
I know there was just a huge discussion on what's uber and what's not, but I'm pretty sure Heatran is right on the line, so I'm not sure of what it's classification is. If its allowed in Standard Play, would this be a worthwhile moveset:
[email protected] Specs Nature: Modest Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 216 HP, 132 Special Attack, 92 Speed, 68 Special Defense Flamethrower Earth Power Dragon Pulse Overheat |
I disapprove of overheat.
|
I disapprove of having two fire moves.
|
Ehhh... I was going for a sort of Fire Version of a Specsmence. You know, like Draco Meteor and Dragon Pulse. I don't know. Not working for Heatran?
|
Specsmence is a failure. It needs to die and go to hell.
|
Hmmm... okay. Well, any suggestions for EVs and Nature? And I am guessing its not considered Uber?
|
No, too vulnerable. If I were you, I'd up the Speed EVs so you could at least outspeed SOMETHING. Flash Cannon is bad.
|
Whoever considers Heatran an uber needs to go die. Same goes for Rotom.
Anyway, get as many special EVs as possible, that's my advice. |

So classic Special Sweeper EV Spread for Heatran: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 4 HP?
|
NOO. At least put some into HP so it can survive a Surf.
|
So how about: 200 Special Attack, 100 HP, 100 Special Defense, 104 Speed?
I just realized how slow it is. Even at maxed out Speed, will it be outrunning anything important any time soon? |
Now that's what we call a spread.

Is it a good spread or a bad spread? I was thinking of putting some Defense EVs in case it was hit by an Earth Power/Earthquake, but with 4x Weakness to Ground moves, it'll be KO'd either way. So it's best to switch to my Gliscor when an Earthquake is eminent.

Yes, I totally agree. Do you think Heatran meshes well with this team:
Gliscor Tyranitar Probopass Lucario Mamoswine Desert Storm. |
Wait.. it's not a Desert storm when Mamie switches in.
|
Mamoswine may be an arctic Pokemon, but it still isn't affected by Sandstorm. It doesn't have Snow Warning if that is what you're insinuating.
|
Oh, lol. I thught it did. =P
Take off lucario though, it makes you team look pitiful. |
Really? I mean, I know it's not the sturdiest of Pokemon, but is it really that bad. With a Timid Nature, 31 IV in Speed, and a Choice Scarf, plus a 29 IV in Special Attack, it seems to be well qualified for Special Sweeping...
|
And then... What do you know? Along comes A Special Wall.
|
the standard Heatran set is with Choice Scarf.
if you want to go with choice specs, i highly suggest you focus on giving it at least 188 HP evs. for moveset, go with Flamethrower/Dragon Pulse/Earth Power/Overheat. fire + dragon + ground covers everything. you may want to consider explosion instead of overheat for Blissey and the like. |
Adjusted the EVs a bit. I think I made it a wee bit sturdier so its Speed won't be all that important. What do you all think?
|
Er.. more Special Attack, please
