OU Heatran (OU Steelium Z) (QC 2/1) (GP 1/1)

[DurzaOffTopic]

Heatran @ Steelium Z
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Flash Cannon
- Lava Plume / Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Stealth Rock / Taunt

Heatran uses Flash Cannon with Steelium Z to help it circumvent threats that would otherwise wall it, such as Zygarde, Mega Latios, and Mega Alakazam. Heatran is also able to force out common entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Clefable, and, because it can force out Defoggers like Tornadus-T and Mega Scizor, can be an effective user of Stealth Rock itself, or use Taunt to disable and dispose of bulkier Pokemon such as Toxapex and Chansey that it can trap with Magma Storm. Heatran opts to run a Modest nature to maximize its damage output and OHKO Gliscor with Corkscrew Crash after Stealth Rock damage. Heatran appreciates Grass-type teammates like Tapu Bulu and Tangrowth to help with its weaknesses to Water-types and Ground-types.

Slash Lava Plume before Magma Storm

Heatran is also able to force out common hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Clefable allow it to be an effective user of Stealth Rock itself

Both sentences are true, but there isn’t really a correlation between forcing away other hazard setters and being a solid hazard setter yourself. Just reword it so it doesn’t sound like it.

Ground-type attacks allow its mediocre to be taken advantage of

I think you forgot a word here? Either way it’s not like Heatran would stay in on those tbh. Also, instead of talking of negatives solely at the end, suggest teammates like Bulu or Tang to deal with the annoying Water-types etc.

1/1 after implementation, gj

I'd mention that it's very good at pressuring Defoggers.

2/1
