Strategy Overview

Although Heatmor has decent offensive stats and a good STAB move in Fire Lash, it struggles to make good use of them properly because it is too slow to do anything and is outsped by most viable offensive pokemon, such as Stoutland, Kabutops, and Skuntank. Furthermore, thanks to its low defenses, Heatmor is unable to take hits well whatsoever and finds itself facing competition from Combusken, which can utilize Eviolite, has a secondary Fighting typing, and has Speed Boost and Swords Dance, making it a more reliable Fire-type wallbreaker.
