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 is the only Pokémon to take less than normal damage from both Dragon- and Fire-type moves, and that only occurs because of its ability, which gives immunity to Fire-type moves.
  • Heatran and Empoleon are the only non-Ice-types to have a 1/4 resistance to Ice.
• Heatran is the only Pokémon that is not a Rock-type that learns Stone Edge by level, not counting Steelix because it evolves from the Rock-type Onix.
• Heatran is the last Fire-type Pokémon and the last Steel-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order.

• Heatran is the seventh heaviest Pokémon.
• If Heatran faints in a battle when the player is trying to catch it, it will appear again in Stark Mountain in one week.

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.

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 Steel-type (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".
