How to get the Pokémon Heatran in Pokémon GO
The Legendary Pokémon Heatran comes to Pokémon GO in Gym Raids as a replacement for Cresselia. It will be available until January 15, so you have a little less than a month to get hold of it. It is the third fourth-generation legendary Pokémon that makes an appearance in the Niantic title. In this case, Heatran is a Steel and Fire type,so you'll need to have a good Ground, Water, and Fighting team to get hold of it.
The new level 5 raid boss in Pokémon GO is tough to crack.It can reach 3754 combat points, so we will need to be prepared for the occasion. Heatran is characterized by launching quick attacks,using the typical Fire-type attacks and defenses. Therefore, when it comes to fighting, the best counterattacks will be those of Ground, Water and Fight, especially those of Ground, which cause 256% damage. Water and Fight 160%.
If you want to beat Heatran, avoid using Dragon, Psychic, Normal, Flying, Grass, Steel, Bug, Ice, Poison, or Fairy-type Pokémon at all times. Actually, the damage you can do to it is very low compared to Earth's (it doesn't reach 70%). We can say that the best Pokémon to beat Heatran are Groudon or Garchomp with their fast Mud Shot moves. Rhyperior, Marnoswine, Rhydon, or Golem are also effective with the fast moves Mud Slap.
It is not the only surprise that Niantic has launched for Christmas. They recently launched the battles between trainers. In this way, it is possible to play against two opponents, each with a team of three Pokémon. Once the battle starts you just have to choose your team like in a Raid Battle. In addition, it is the game itself that recommends the best Pokémon to fight, being able to change them manually whenever you want. It is also possible to choose one of the Battle Groups that you already have ready. Other novelties for this Christmas are being able to capture new fourth-generation Pokémon by hatching 7 km Eggs, or catching the Deoxys Attack form in EX raids.
