The legendary Fire / Steel type Pokémon of the fourth generation is back. We review the best Pokémon to kill him.
Heatran is back in Pokémon GO. From this January 7 until next Tuesday, February 4 at 22:00 CET, Sinnoh's legendary Fire / Steel type Pokémon will be seen in Level 5 raids; a creature with a very low capture rate but, if we use a good strategy and type combinations, it should not give us many problems.
This time, as confirmed by Niantic itself, Heatran can be found even in its shiny / variocolor form. As you will see below, there are a number of common denominators in our list in terms of movements and types. On the one hand, given Heatran's weaknesses to Earth-type movements, we will prioritize the best assets in attacks loaded with this type. That is why Earthquake and Driller (in the case of Excadrill) crave the most interesting options.
Other aspects to review is that Heatran (and its shiny variant) only has a 2% capture rate, it is difficult to get hold of it. We do not recommend going with less than four people to this raid because the options to end it in the time allowed would be very remote.
That said, Heatran has a power of 2058 to 2145 at level 20; while at level 25 it rises from 2573 to 2681 (with sunny weather). The first movement mentioned will always be the simple one; The second is loaded.
