How to Catch and Best Pokemon to Use

Heatran Encounter in Stark Mountain
Heatran	Lv.: 70	Ability: Flash Fire
	Moveset
	Metal Sound Earth Power Heat Wave Stone Edge

Heatran doesn't have anything that is particularly threatening as part of its moveset that will give you trouble in catching it. If you bring enough medicine and Pokemon with natural resistances, catching it should be relatively straightforward.

Best Catcher Pokemon

Best Catcher Pokemon
Blastoise		Absol
Recommended Lv. 70+	Item: Leftovers	Recommended Lv. 70+	Item: Leftovers
Recommended Moves:		Recommended Moves:
False Swipe Yawn		False Swipe Thunder Wave

When facing Heatran, we recommend using either Blastoise with Yawn and False Swipe, or Absol with Thunder Wave and False Swipe. These Pokemon give you a reliable way to whittle down the opponent's HP as low as possible, and access to a status-inflicting move to improve catch rates.

Blastoise can be the best choice here thanks to its bulk and natural resistance to Heatran's STAB moves. Alternatively, Quagsire is another bulky water type with access to Yawn and can be found pretty easily in the Grand Underground.

Best Balls to Use

In case a Quick Ball on turn 1 did not succeed, the Dusk Ball is a reliable go-to ball to use instead.

If about a dozen turns have passed, you may also rely on the Timer Ball for higher success rates of capture.

Best Pokemon For Catching

Transfer From Pokemon Legends: Arceus via Pokemon HOME

Heatran is obtainable in Pokemon Legends: Arceus during the course of its story.

If you are missing a legendary Pokemon, especially those that are time-limited, we suggest transferring the Pokemon from Legends: Arceus via Pokemon HOME!

Best Natures for Heatran

Modest or Calm

Best Natures
Modest (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)	Calm (+Sp.Def, -Atk)

Heatran naturally has explosive firepower which you can take full advantage of by having a Modest nature. Alternatively, a Calm nature is a good choice if training Heatran into a Specially Defensive Pokemon as it resists common special attacking types such as Grass, Ice, and Fire.
