Typical Heatran Leads are forced to switch against several leads. This set grants you an effective lead as well as a overwhelmingly powerful special attacker.
[Set]
Heatran @ Life Orb
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Overheat
- Stealth Rock
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Earth Power/Taunt
[Comments]
This Heatran functions as a both a lead an Anti-Lead. It allows you to OHKO a few of the bulkiest leads in standard play. LO Overheat from Modest Heatran can also be used as a scouting move later own. Only opposing Heatran will enjoy receiving such an attack.
Heatran against top 10 leads[August 2010]
Azelf: 2HKO if Sashed. OHKO with OverHeat if not.
Machamp: OHKO almost guaranteed of time with Overheat. 96.1% - 113.4%
Aerodactyl: Switch[It would just Taunt you even if you ran Standard Lead Tran]
Metagross: OHKO through Occa Berry - 98.3% - 115.7%
Swampert: OHKO - 96.1% - 113.4%
Infernape: Switch[There was nothing the Standard Lead Tran could do either]
Heatran: Switch [This is the only Pokemon that Standard Lead Tran Handles better. It should be noted that you have a chance to OHKO through Shuca Berry, however.]
Jirachi: OHKO if they choose not to switch
Ninjask: Taunt and Set up Rocks then Roast it[You handle this better than Lead Tran]
Roserade: OverHeat in case Sleep Powder misses and Switch[Standard Lead Tran handles this no better]
This Lead Tran exchanges the ability to match-up against opposing Heatran for the ability to KO Metagross, Swampert, and Machamp. It is also capable of severely denting potential switching ins. Overheat does a minimum to 49.2% to Offensive Gyrados, and up to 71.3% to LO Starmie.
This set also makes a great Switch in to Slow or Choice Fire Attacks and OHKOs both Defensive Zapdos and Rotom before a Flash Fire Boost.
I've used this set for quite some time and I've seen it recommended by Badge Raters on quite a few RMTs. I'm surprised that no one has attempted to post it.
