Heatran

[luke]

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:

Heatran@Choice 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.

 

[peabobo's sexy legs]

I disapprove of having two fire moves.

 

[luke]

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?

 

[peabobo's sexy legs]

Specsmence is a failure. It needs to die and go to hell.

 

[luke]

Hmmm... okay. Well, any suggestions for EVs and Nature? And I am guessing its not considered Uber?

 

[peabobo's sexy legs]

No, too vulnerable. If I were you, I'd up the Speed EVs so you could at least outspeed SOMETHING. Flash Cannon is bad.

 

[Yellow Magikoopa]

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.

Rotom's not even a legendary, or a possibility for online play.

So classic Special Sweeper EV Spread for Heatran: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 4 HP?

 

[peabobo's sexy legs]

NOO. At least put some into HP so it can survive a Surf.

 

[luke]

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?

 

[peabobo's sexy legs]

Now that's what we call a spread.

 

[Yellow Magikoopa]

Rotom's not even a legendary, or a possibility for online play.

Some people consider it a legendary, and they're morons. Trust me.

 

[luke]

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.

Anyone who keeps a Heatran out when there are threats of EP or EQ has problems.

 

[luke]

Yes, I totally agree. Do you think Heatran meshes well with this team:

Gliscor
Tyranitar
Probopass
Lucario
Mamoswine

Desert Storm.

 

[peabobo's sexy legs]

Wait.. it's not a Desert storm when Mamie switches in.

 

[luke]

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.

 

[peabobo's sexy legs]

Oh, lol. I thught it did. =P

Take off lucario though, it makes you team look pitiful.
