Heatran (Japanese: ヒードラン Heatran) is a dual-type Fire/Steel Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

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

Biology

Heatran on a wall

Heatran is a reddish-brown, quadrupedal Pokémon. It is dotted with orange and gray spots, and it has metal bangles locked on its legs. Its four claws on each of its feet are in a cross formation. Heatran has a gray underside, and its face is covered by an iron mask, with red-orange eyes uncovered. Its eyes seem to remain open even when it is asleep. Whenever it is seen with its mouth open, an orange glow emanates from inside it. Boiling magma-like blood circulates through its body. While its body is rugged steel, certain parts of it are partially melted, due to Heatran's own intense body heat.

Heatran is a fierce guardian. Without the power of the Magma Stone, Heatran would rampage and cause the volcanic crater where it dwells to erupt. Heatran's claws allow it to dig deep into walls, and its feet allow it to stick to a surface, so it can hang and climb from walls and ceilings. According to legends, Heatran was said to have been created from the magma hidden beneath Mount Coronet. The body of Heatran is said to hold many unsolved mysteries. Heatran has the ability to form a shield around itself in order to protect itself from harm.

Heatran is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Magma Storm.

Major appearances

Heatran (recurring)

In The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1), Saturn caught a Heatran to be used in Team Galactic's plan to bring back Cyrus, using it and a Flame Plate to power an energy cannon. However, in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2), Saturn accidentally overloaded the cannon, causing it to backfire and send Heatran on a rampage when its Flash Fire Ability overloaded, melting its Dusk Ball and escaping. Its rampage was eventually stopped in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4).

Heatran's known moves are Stone Edge and Magma Storm, and its Ability is Flash Fire.

Heatran debuted in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, under the ownership of Marcus. It was a powerful opponent, but it was eventually freed by Pikachu after it chose to no longer fight for Marcus's cause.

Heatran made its main series debut in Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!. It was being followed by Ben, who was on a mission to capture it and protect it from a collapsing mountain.

In the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short Heated Battle, a Heatran was summoned by Hoopa alongside a Slugma, Rapidash, and Magmortar. They all used Fire-type attacks to set Ash and Pikachu on fire.

Following Charon's arrest, Buck agreed to take Heatran back to Stark Mountain.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Heatran.
  • Heatran has the most double resistances of all Pokémon, with five: Steel, Bug, Grass, Ice, and Fairy.
• In the Japanese version of Pokémon X and Y, two women in Jaune Plaza mimic the sounds of Pokémon. One mimics the sound of a Heatran, while the other compliments her. However, this is mistranslated in the English version to say that there is a Lava Dome Pokémon in Jaune Plaza.
• Heatran is the only Pokémon introduced before Hidden Abilities that cannot be obtained with its Hidden Ability in any game without an Ability Patch.
• Heatran is the only Legendary Pokémon to not be related to another Legendary or Mythical Pokémon through a legendary grouping (such as a duo or trio), evolutionary chain, or in-game lore.

Origin

Heatran may be based on volcanic remains. Its Steel typing may reference how the Earth's inner core is made of solid metal under immense pressure. It may be also based on a personification of magma. In the ancient mythologies of most cultures, the eruptions of volcanoes were explained by the presence of a fire monster living within it, often a dragon.

Name origin

Heatran may be derived from heat transfer. Its Japanese name may involve ドラゴン dragon.
