I am fine with your comments, as PK and I were wavering on where Earth Power and Stealth Rock should be slashed. Would you be ok with switching Roar and Earth Power in slot three, and moving Stealth Rock to the last slash in slot four?Uh, I really don't know if I like Earth Power being the main slash. I mean it's only use is mainly for opposing Heatran, and I feel that Roar offers so much more utility in being able to phaze dangerous threats like Volcarona and Talonflame. I dunno, I just feel that you should have a more more reliable counter for other Heatran.
As for Stealth Rock, I'm not sure I agree with that being the main slash either. Heatran is beat by the two most common spinners and Toxic in general beats nearly any Heatran switch in. I agree with Stealth Rock being slashed, but only if you can't find room for it on your team.
100% yes, this sounds great to meI am fine with your comments, as PK and I were wavering on where Earth Power and Stealth Rock should be slashed. Would you be ok with switching Roar and Earth Power in slot three, and moving Stealth Rock to the last slash in slot four?
Ok seriously what is up with this? Can you explain because honestly I use SR Heatran and I find it to be an excellent hazard setter and I don't even need it to have Stealth Rock, I just have it there because I can (I have Stealth Rock on another Pokemon as well).
- Stealth Rock can be used on Heatran if you can't find room anywhere else on your team
- Stealth Rock should only be an option if you can't find room anywhere else.
Well, the basic point is that no Pokemon wants to run Stealth Rock. Heatran would rather run Roar. Landorus-T would rather run Knock Off or Stone Edge. Skarmory would rather run Spikes. Even Deoxys-S, if for whatever reason absolutely didn't have to run Stealth Rock, would rather run Fire Punch or something. The bottom line is, by deciding to give a Pokemon Stealth Rock, you're making a sacrifice to your team by taking away one of the options of that Pokemon, seeing as there's no Stealth Rock user in OU that couldn't do anything with an extra moveslot.Ok seriously what is up with this?

If you are going to keep this really expand upon this.
I actually run a set of Lava Plume / Protect / Toxic / Stealth Rock, I don't really need Roar or Earth Power.
I'm not saying it's not a bad move, but Heatran becomes a much, much more effective wall with Roar.the thing that really irks me about that statement CyclicCompound is that heatran IS often the sr setter. it doesn't matter what would be optimal in an optimal world; the fact that heatran so often runs sr for the team because it has room for it makes it a good move for the set.
Unless a Modest nature nets you specific KOs, it's not worth running. By using a Modest nature, you're missing out on outspeeding +1 Adamant Dragonite and Excadrill, two very relevant and dangerous threats that this set is great at checking.One question: why use timid nature on scarf set? Only thing notable you're outspeeding is Jolteon and stuff. (aerodactyl doesn't give dookie to this, if they use jolly, which they SHOULD be) And depending on an adamant aerodactyl mega, which, in the first place is rarely seen, doesn't really seem like a consideration. Therefore, I believe MODEST should be the main nature, becauase it grants heatran a power boost.
