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 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. Because of its intense body heat, certain parts of its body are melted slightly out of shape. Boiling blood, like magma, circulates through its body. While its body is rugged steel, it melts partly due to Heatran's own 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. Heatran is the only known Pokémon that learns Magma Storm.

Major appearances

Saturn's Heatran

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

In JNS01, Saturn caught a Heatran to be used in Team Galactic's plan to bring back Cyrus. He uses Heatran's Magma Storm and a Flame Plate supply an energy cannon.

In JNS02, Saturn unknowingly overloads the cannon, causing the existing energy flow to go backward and strike Heatran, activating its ability Flash Fire, turning Heatran into an unstoppable, rage-filled lava monster. Saturn soon drops its Dusk Ball when trying to recall it, which eventually melts away as Heatran swallows the Flame Plate. The Lake guardians' attempt to try and calm it down, but this only causes Heatran's rage to increase, turning it's existing form into one created out of molten lava.

In JNS03, as Heatran continues on with its rage, Arceus appears in order to stop Heatran, and by JNS04, it successfully stops it.

Other

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.

Minor appearances

In An Old Family Blend!, a Trainer's Heatran was seen entering the Lily of the Valley Conference. This made it the first Legendary Pokémon to be entered by a Trainer in a formal competition.

A Heatran appeared in the opening sequence of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Pokémon Adventures

In Pokémon Adventures, Heatran is referred to as the "Lord of Stark Mountain." It first appeared in Clobbering Claydol, where Buck sought to protect it from Team Galactic by taking the Magma Stone with him. However, him doing this caused Heatran to be unsealed, allowing Charon to catch it for his own use. Throughout the Platinum arc, Charon used Heatran in his battles against Sinnoh's other Legendary Pokémon, until he was finally defeated at the end of the chapter. Following Charon's arrest, Buck agreed to take Heatran back to Stark Mountain.

A Heatran appeared as a silhouette in a fantasy in Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost).

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

Heatran appeared in A Clash! Hareta vs. Charon. When Charon raided Stark Mountain, he disturbed the Magma Stone and awakened Heatran, leaving Hareta to battle it until the Magma Stone was restored to its proper place.

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 has the lowest number of Egg cycles of all Legendary Pokémon, with 10.
• Heatran is the only Pokémon introduced before Hidden Abilities that cannot be obtained with its Hidden Ability in any game without an Ability Patch.

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 generic volcano monster: 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 a combination of heat and transfer. Tran may also derive from transition metal, referring to the fact that iron, a transition metal, forms much of Earth's outer and inner core.
