Pokemon Go has brought another Legendary Pokemon back to Raids. To coincide with the game's Sinnoh Celebration event, Heatran, the Lava Dome Pokemon from Diamond and Pearl, is appearing as a five-star Raid boss once again for a limited time. If you're looking to add the Legendary Pokemon to your collection, we've rounded up some tips to help you beat and catch Heatran below.
HeatranHeatran Raids can occur any time, but your best bet for finding one will be on Wednesday, January 13, from 6-7 PM local time, when Niantic hosts its weekly Raid Hour event. During that hour, Heatran Raids will be occurring more frequently at Gyms, effectively guaranteeing you'll have a chance to challenge the Legendary.
Two types you'll generally want to avoid using, however, are Dragon and Psychic. Heatran resists both thanks to its Steel typing, so neither will be very helpful when challenging the Legendary. Bug, Grass, and other Steel Pokemon are also weak to Heatran, so avoid bringing any of those along to the Raid.
