It will be released in both shiny and normal variations. Here is what it looks like:
Heatran is aFire- and Steel-typePokemon, giving it weaknesses toFighting-, Water-, and Ground-typemoves. Of these types, you should focus on building a Ground-based team with strong Ground-type Attacks, as Heatran is doubly weak to this Typing.
Pokémon Go: Mega Garchomp Raid
It will be available in the Mega raid rotation from July 12, 2025 at 10:00 am local time until August 21, 2025 until 10:00 am local time.
Hint, hint.
Due to its typing, Heatran is weather boosted by Sunny and Snowy conditions. It will be stronger if you encounter it during these conditions, and will be higher level when you catch it. However, given that these conditions may also come with actual risks to your person, be wise when you decide to go out or not. It may be worth it to stay in and remote raid instead.
As said before, Heatran can be duoed. However, for the sake of getting this done quickly, we recommend you go out with at least 3-4 Trainers to tackle these raids. If you do not have high level counters, and neither do any of your friends, consider going with at least 7-8 Trainers. The more people you get, the faster these raids will go by. Remember, take advantage of the buffs you get from Party Play! It’s free damage, if you’re all together anyway.
Recommended Party
As ever, if you have Shadow variations of the Pokémon listed below, they will be better picks over their normal counterparts.Shadow Pokémon do more damagethan their regular counterparts (even with mediocre IVs), so consider taking them for this raid for the extra damage.
