Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Its stat total puts it at the very top: more than 100% of species fall behind. Defensively it can rely on 3 weaknesses, 9 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for the Ground type — damage from it is quadrupled. This is a Legendary Pokémon: one per game, no offspring. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Mega Evolution adds a fixed pool of one hundred points and replaces the ability with a single one.
Which nature to choose
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (175) is 55 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Modest +SpA · −Atk The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
- Timid +Spe · −Atk Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up power.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Breeding
All Egg Groups →Mega Heatran does not breed. You cannot get an Egg from it — this is how the games treat almost all Legendary and Mythical species.
