Strategy Overview
Heatran's amazing typing and ability let it wall many metagame threats including Mega Charizard Y, Tapu Lele, Cresselia, Amoonguss, and Sylveon. It's high Special Attack allows to deal good damage to most pokemon with its spread Heat Wave which has great coverage with Earth Power. Heatran's prominence can work against it as some of the pokemon it is supposed to check will run a Ground-type Hidden Power just to get past it. Heatran also has a poor match up against threats like Landorus-T and Tapu Fini.
Below is a sample set. This set is likely to be standard, but it will be expanded upon and updated as the metagame progresses.
