Heatran (Japanese: ヒードラン Heatran) is a dual-type Fire/Steel legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Legend has it that Heatran was born from the flames of a volcano when Dialga, Palkia and their relatives first created the universe. The lava from it pooled together to become Heatran.

Heatran has a gray underside, its face is covered by an iron mask and it has red-orange eyes. Whenever it is seen with its mouth open, an orange glow eminates from inside it.

• Heatran is the only Pokémon to take less than normal damage from both Dragon- and Template:Type2 moves, and that only occurs because of its ability, which gives immunity to Template:Type2 moves.
  • Heatran and Empoleon are the only non-Template:Type2s to have a 1/4 resistance to Ice.
• Heatran is the only Pokémon that is not a Template:Type2 that learns Stone Edge by level, not counting Steelix because it evolves from the Template:Type2 Onix.
• Heatran is the last Template:Type2 Pokémon and the last Template:Type2 Pokémon in National Dex order.
• Heatran has the highest Special Attack of any Template:Type2 Pokémon.
• Heatran is the seventh heaviest Pokémon.

Origin

Heatran could be based on a mythical salamander, a giant lizard of folklore made completely of lava and fire.

Name origin

Its name comes from the words heat and possibly transfer. The "doran" in its Japanese name can also be read as "dran", so it may be a combination of "heat" and "dragon".

In other languages
