Today, on January 29, the Raid Hour with Heatran starts in Pokémon GO . We will show you the best counters, the shiny form, and tell you everything you need to know about the raid.
Who is the opponent? In today’s raid hour, you will face the legendary Pokémon Heatran. As a boss, Heatran has 49192 CP – after capturing, it will have between 2058 CP and 2145 CP.
If you manage to catch Heatran with a weather boost (during sunny or snowy conditions), it will have a CP value between 2573 and 2681 after being caught.
- Heatran itself is of Fire and Steel type – making it susceptible to Fighting and Water types, and doubly weak to Ground.
- Its moveset consists of Bug Bite or Fire Spin and Stone Edge, Fire Blast, Flamethrower or Iron Head.
- This is the last raid hour with Heatran for now.
