Heatran's Def, SpDef and SpAtk are all high (over 100), it takes normal damage from Stealth Rock, it's immune to Sandstorm, immune to all Fire type attacks AND it gets a power bonus when he gets hit with them! It has a pretty large move pool too- good move set would be....
Naive 4 Atk 252 SpAtk 252 Speed
Choice Scarf/Expert Belt
Flamethrower/Fire Blast
Dragon Pulse
Earth Power
Explosion
Extra speed from Scarf is always welcome, Flamethrower for acc, Fire Blast for destroying shit, Dragon Pulse for revenge killing Kingdra/Salamence, Earth Power for other Fire types, and Explosion for destroying more shit. If you don't want to use a Scarf, I would say use an Expert Belt over a Life Orb to trick your opponents into thinking you're Scarf'd.
