Pokemon Go Heatran best PvP moveset

The best moveset available for Heatran in Pokemon Go’s PvP consists of Fire Spin as a Fast Move and Magma Storm as a Charged Move, with 17.02 damage per second and a formidable 603.3 total damage output before it faints.

Despite being a dual-type creature, Heatran’s best attacks are the Fire ones, with its signature move Magma Storm making it unstoppable. However, the only way to acquire this particular attack is by capturing a Heatran that already knows it during a special Raid Hour.

If you can afford a secondary Charged Move, go for Stone Edge, as it will allow you to target the Flying-type Pokemon that are not affected by Heatran’s fire powers.

Heatran’s best moveset for Raids also consists of Fire Spin as a Fast Move and Magma Storm as a Charged Move.

As a dual Fire/Steel-type creature, there’s no real advantage in using Bug Bite as a Fast Move, so just stay with Fire Spin.

For a Charged Move, Flamethrower is a good option if you have no access to Magma Storm but always go for this move if you have the chance, as it deals good damage for way less energy. In case you’re looking for coverage, Iron Head can help you target Ice and Fairy-type Pokemon.
