ok i've recently gotten a heatmor and i've pretty much called him my steel counter since he has access to heat wave and sucker punch and with substitute you can cause some damage on any unprepared steel types

Hmm, I'm going to lol as to why it eats Durants. Durant should eat it. Hustle Hone Claws Ftw.

I say it's going to be NU like most of the other Fire Types. Flamethrower > Heat Wave. 5 Less Power and 10 More Accuracy. What's not to love?

Heatmor @ Petaya Berry | Leftovers
Ability: Gluttony | Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Flamethrower / Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Stockpile

The idea here is to switch into a Steel Type, watch them run while you throw a Substitute, and hopefully bash the switch-in. Might as well pick up some boosts along the way, so yeah. There's really little going for it...

Its a shame, I loved the concept of the Victory Road being an anthill with ants on the inside and Anteaters on the outside!

Durant: Bug
Heatmor: Normal

Durant evolves Steel typing to resist Normal type.
Heatmor: Evolves fire typing so it can PWN!

Its like an evolutionary arms race :D

EDIT a bit like this:

thats what he has going for him
hes slow so ferrothorns gyro ball will not break a sub
and he can pretty easily switch into fire types if timed correctly
ill see what i can do about this poke (mainly because my heatmor and durant are on the same team :L )

The heatran set I use is

Heatran @ Air Balloon
Flash Fire
Modest
252 SpAtk, 252 SpDef, 4Def
-Fire Blast
-Hp Ice
-Earth Power
-Stealth Rock

I typically switch him on something he can easily kill and put up rocks on predicted switch. Special defense EVS because he is soooo slow, and won't outspeed any of his threats anyway. And Special defense gives him a lot more survivability.

Thats also the set I use, except I would like to fit in Hp Ice in as I don't have it right now and I have a different Stealth rocker.

Not really, the only thing that kills him is his speed. Other than that he is amazing. One of the only decent fire types in OU not named ninetales, because weather sucks.

if only he had a little more speed or bulk i can seriously see this guy going OU

heatran, hence me posting a heatran set.

Heatmor anyway, I've never really used him. Judging by his stats he looks like he can run a decent mixed set though.

hes a bit slow but i almost pulled of a sweep with him....only if i OHKOd his guy....

Maybe if you Baton Passed a few Agilities and Iron Defenses from a Scizor?

[MuSiCa]
06-06-2011, 06:48 AM
Baton Pass does not make something good.

It can save lacking stats from being abused.

[MuSiCa]
06-06-2011, 10:29 AM
Yeah, but it does not make something good. Anyone can benefit from baton pass.

theBlob
06-06-2011, 04:19 PM
I know that. But Heatmor needs speed and bulk.
Scizor can give him speed and bulk.
Win-Win?

Heatmor just doesn't have anything too spectacular going for him. Practically nothing. If you need a job done on your team, there is definitely a better alternative in every tier.

It's a shame, really. He looks like such a unique Pokémon ):

i know right his shiny form is soooo cool

but he is one of the few if not the only fire types to have accesss to sucker punch

Even Houndoom beats him there. HOUNDOOM RULEZ

His only chance is to come into a fire attack and get the boost from Flash Fire

Guys, if you're not adding anything, then don't spam the thread. It's so annoying, not to mini-mod.

...IDK. While it has a niche (Only Flash Fire Fire Type with access to Sucker Punch / Other Priority and is not weak to Fighting), it's a stupid niche. You can use it for fun, joy and laughter! Done.

I feel like (as sad as it is) you would have to build your team around making this guy work for him to be any good. His stats just don't cut it without boosts. The best set I can think of without just baton passing to him would be

Heatmor@leftovers
nature:Modest
evs: 252hp/252spattack/4spd
moves:
-rest
-sleep talk
-stockpile
-flamethrower/fire blast

Idea is that your spattack is gonna be decent enough to get a few kills from stuff that it doesnt resist, while healing and stockpiling when needed/possible. There are better guys in every tier to fit the same role, but It's the best set I can think of...

Never realised he got Sleep Talk o.O
IMO, Lava Plume. It has PP and a chance to burn.
