Question

If I run away from Heatran, can I re-encounter it?

No, if you run away from Heatran, you cannot re-encounter it in the same playthrough. To have another chance, you must reload a previous save file from before you initiated the battle.

Question

How do I get a shiny Heatran?

Community Answer

To get a shiny Heatran, save your game directly before battling it. If it is not shiny, restart your game and re-engage it in battle. Repeat this process until a shiny Heatran appears, which you can identify by its unique color palette and sparkling animation.

Tips

Stock up on plenty of Ultra Balls, Dusk Balls, and Timer Balls. Dusk Balls are useful for Pokémon in caves, while Timer Balls are useful if the battle goes on for a long time.

Heatran is level 68, so make sure you have Pokémon of at least that level.

Have Pokémon with moves that inflict status effects such as Sleep and Paralysis. Status effects will make it easier to catch it.
