Welcome back, Trainers! It's time to see how Heatmor will likely perform in Pokémon GO.
CATEGORY: Anteater Pokémon
PRONOUNCED: HEET-mohr
TYPE: Fire
HEIGHT: 4' 07"
WEIGHT: 127.9 lbs.
ATTACK: 204
DEFENSE: 129
STAMINA: 198
MAX CP: 2395
PLACE IN THE META: Heatmor is a bit of a meme in the main-series for just how useless it is. Can Pokémon GO change that? That seems very doubtful, as the sheer amount of powerful Fire-types providing serious competition for Heatmor will not allow it to stand out.
LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Heatmor:
Bug Bite
Fire Spin
Shadow Claw
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Heatmor:
Flamethrower
Overheat
Solar Beam
Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Heatmor's movepool:
Fire Lash
Flare Blitz
LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Heatmor gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! Durant is up next.
