No. 485: Heatran

gonna run a Heatrain on your ass


Heatran is this fearsome beast who lives in volcanoes and eats magma and shits lava. However, he feels a little out of place in the suped-up realm of the Sinnoh legendaries. Dialga and Palkia control space and time, respectively. The admittedly horrid lake trio created all wisdom or some bullshit. The literal creator god will show up later on. And what can Heatran do? Make a volcano explode? laaaaaaame

Okay, not so lame. I like his design, it reminds me of some Legend of Zelda boss. The fierce eyes, the whale-belly, the crumbly rocks sticking to his molten skin, it's all pretty neat. I guess I question his placement, seeing as how he even respawns, making him not-very-legendary at all, but whatever.

Heatran is hot shit, and he knows it. Just - just don't compare him to his older brothers, is all.


Overall: 8/10

  1. Shouldn't heatran be a candidate for cosmic type if he came from space?

  2. 8/10, hm? Alright then, can't really agree on that. Heatran just looks goofy to me, with comically over-sized feet attached to some sort of whale-like body, with these round parts at the end of its mask looking like dopey teeth.

  3. Can't shake my initial thought of it looking like a giant, red pickle enough to even like him.
