Raid Guide

Heatran is a dual-type Fire/Steel Pokémon, which means it has a weakness to Ground, Fighting, and Water-type moves. It is best to go with a Pokémon that has Ground-type moves, as Ground-type is more consistent against Heatran than Water or Fighting-type moves. Heatran's shiny form is available in Pokémon GO.

Heatran's Moveset:

Quick Attacks:

• Bug Bite (Bug-type move)
• Fire Spin (Fire-type move)

Charged Attacks:

• Stone Edge (Rock-type move)
