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.

Biology

Physiology

Heatran is a tortoise-like creature (which might also be based on a ram) with a reddish-brown body that has orange and gray spots. Heatran has metal bangles locked on its legs and the four claws on each of its feet are in a cross formation. Heatran has a gray underside, its face is covered by an iron mask and has red-orange eyes. Whenever it is seen with its mouth open, an orange glow emanates from inside it. Because of its intense body heat, certain parts of its body are melted slightly out of shape.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Heatran can use its cross-shaped claws to dig deep into walls. Their feet allow them to stick to a surface, allowing it to hang and climb from walls or ceilings. Boiling blood, like magma, circulates through its body.

Heatran mainly attacks by using Template:Type2 attacks such as Flamethrower and Fire Fang, but it also knows a couple of Template:Type2 moves like Iron Head and Flash Cannon. Heatran can use some Rock and Template:Type2 attacks, such as AncientPower, Stone Edge, Earth Power and Earthquake.

Heatran is the only known Pokémon that learns Magma Storm.

Heatran are fierce guardians. It is noted that without the power of the Magma Stone, Heatran would rampage and cause Stark Mountain to erupt. Heatran also tend to walk on walls.

Trivia

• Heatran is the first, and so far only, legendary Pokémon that can either be male or female.
• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Heatran.
• Heatran has the most ¼ resistance of all Pokémon with four: Template:Type2, Template:Type2, Template:Type2, and Template:Type2.
• 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 ¼ resistance to Ice by their typings alone.
• Heatran is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex to be in no regional Pokédex.
• Heatran is the last Pokémon from the first four generations to appear in the anime, in Arceus and the Jewel of Life. This does not count Porygon2 and Porygon-Z, who will likely never appear due to the EP038 incident.
• If Heatran faints in a battle when the player is trying to catch it, it will appear again in Stark Mountain in one week.
• If Heatran is put to sleep in Pokémon Battle Revolution, its eyes will remain open.

Origin

Heatran is most likely based on volcanic remains. Its Steel-typing references how the Earth's inner core is made of solid metal under immense pressure. It may also be based on a turtle, as the Pokémon Platinum Pokédex entry states that it is melted in parts because of its own heat and in the artwork, bits of metal, which may possibly be a melted shell, can be seen on its body.

Name origin

Its name comes from the words heat and possibly transfer. The "-tran" may also come from transition metal, referring to its status as a Template:Type2 (note that steel itself is not a transition metal, but an alloy of one). The "doran" in its Japanese name can also be read as "dran", so it may be a combination of "heat" and "dragon".
