I am fully convinced this is the most derpy cute heatran I'll ever see
Heatran @ Ampharosite
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Lava Plume / Fire Blast
- Dragon Pulse
- Earth Power
- Stealth Rock
Because... memes.
Ampharosite Heatran is pretty dumb, but its typing is a lot less dumb: Fire/Dragon lets you do a good number onto Heatran's standard fare of beaten mons, constant U-Turn spam, and in comparison to standard Heatran, not take super effective damage from Fighting - cough marshadow cough - and have a chance to actually take a Ground or Water hit or two - if you're lucky. STAB Dragon Pulse hits like a truck onto switchins with 180 Special Attack, with a lot of walls coming in expecting something... not Ampharosite. Lava Plume appreciates a general boost in power, and Fire Blast is possible for stronger hits at the cost of burn potential. A general bulk increase is really appreciated, and a drop in speed doesn't really affect Heatran since it's already pathetically slow if it wanted to be fast and, I may be totally be dumb here, but what mon actually hits around the 67-77 range that matters tons here?
You also can combat Golisopod not too badly without a switch into Rocks in your Rock-weak Mega'd state:
252+ Atk Golisopod Liquidation vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 157-186 (40.6 - 48.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Mold Breaker Heatran Dragon Pulse vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Golisopod: 172-204 (59.1 - 70.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Primal Groudon instantly forces you out, but doesn't want to switch in either:
252+ SpA Mold Breaker Heatran Earth Power vs. 152 HP / 44 SpD Groudon-Primal: 274-324 (72.2 - 85.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock (Offensive Rocks spread, idr what Pdon runs in MnM)
For other stuffs you can run or things to note, Toxic is fun for Sablenite Blissey since you Mold Breaker straight through it. Taunt does the same thing but affects a wider range of Pokemon and can actually irritate some things. Stealth Rock ignores Magic Bounce leads like a Deoxys form, Blissey, or Absolite users, which is also fun. Flash Cannon can be run even non-STAB for Altarianite Zygarde and other Altarianite mons, since especially with Zygarde it can struggle to hit them for anything more than 30%. A tanky spread is possible, with phys def being perfect to handle Golisopod and stay in even on the omniprescent Primal Groudon without any rocks damage.
236+ Atk Groudon-Primal Precipice Blades vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Heatran: 336-396 (87 - 102.5%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO
And for the obvious, 'Why not just use Reshiram? I know you're a shitposting lil cunt, PrincessGardevoir, but this is just really bad!"
while i agree with you
A generally higher set of bulk combined with initial Flash Fire, a surprise factor, and Stealth Rocks makes Heatran pretty fun. This set isn't made to purposedly showcase something that's broken, good, or otherwise should ever be used by any reasonable human being laddering or otherwise, but it's here to show something I've had
fun with.
uhhh...
