Answer 3

Gen VII

Heatmor @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature (+SpD, -SpA)
- Fire Lash
- Pursuit / Knock Off
- Will-O-Wisp
- Stockpile

The overall strategy is to use Stockpile, Will-O-Wisp, and Leftovers to tank hits while Fire Lash wears down the opponent. Pursuit can be used to attack fleeing foes while Knock Off provides a useful utility.

This is essentially a Toxic staller except Fire Lash and Will-O-Wisp are used in place to provide more bulk.

Nice build

Answer 4

Stockpile makes everything better.

[email protected] Policy
Ability: White Smoke/Flash Fire

Stockpile- Boosts both defenses so now Heatmor can take hits.

Giga Drain- Heals and covers all weaknesses.

Flamethrower- STAB.

Sucker Punch/Will O' Wisp- Sucker Punch is the main reason to use Heatmor over other fire types in NU. Will O' Wisp can save you from Earthquakes and Stone Edges. Natures also change depending on which move you choose.

252 HP/128 Def/128 SDef EVs. Brave or Modest nature.

Answer 5

HEATMOR IS MONSTER!! This is my fun bulky set.

252 Hp; 129 Def; 129 SpD
Gluttony
Sitrus Berry

Snatch
Recycle
Stockpile
Will-o-Wisp/Toxic/Flamethrower

Answer 6

#BURNING DEATH!!!

![enter image description here][1]
Burning Death (Heatmor) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Power-Up Punch
- Fire Punch
- Thunder Punch
- Sucker Punch

A decent physical set, makes work in PU. Physical Heatmor is so good as he can't be willowed thanks to being Fire type. best of all, he hits 558 Pokemon super effectively, and the rest for neutral. Good luck with your BURNING DEATH!!!

Answer 7

Heatmor(F)@Sitrus Berry
Trait: Gluttony
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 Spd
-Stockpile
-Belch
-Giga drain
-Fire Blast/Flamethrower

Details/strategy:
Stockpile boosts both defenses and will turn Heatmor into a tank. Starting off using this move gives the chance for Heatmor to take a hit and activate the berry early on.
Belch deals great damage and can be used repeatedly after consuming the berry.
Giga Drain is for coverage and additional healing.
Fire Blast has great STAB and not too bad accuracy (compared to Inferno), but if you want more secure accuracy, then Flamethrower is for you.

Comments

Good move set, but if I'm not mistaken gluttony doesn't affect the sitrus berry consumption since gluttony makes a pokemon eat the berry at 50% hp and that's already the case with the sitrus berry. So you'd be better off using white smoke or flash fire.

Answer 8

Gen VII

Heatmor @ Life Orb / Fightinium Z / Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
- Fire Lash
- Sucker Punch / Superpower / Thunder Punch
- Sucker Punch / Superpower / Thunder Punch
- Pursuit

The idea of this set is to hit the opponent with Fire Lash and then use Pursuit if they try to switch. The other two moves are just coverage.

Answer 9

Showdown: Gen 8 PU
Heatmor @ Leftovers
Ability: White Smoke
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Substitute
- Curse
- Drain Punch
- Fire Lash
Explanation: For the EVs, 252 HP, 4 Atk, and 252 SpD is the spread because the defense and attack stats will be boosted with Curse. 252 HP provides Heatmor some bulk. Substitute is to help setup Curse. Since Heatmor doesn't have high speed, its substitute won't fade one the turn it uses it. Curse boosts Heatmor's Attack and Defensive stats. Drain Punch is for HP recovery and can deal with Rock Types. Fire Lash is STAB and lowers the opponent's defense stage every time the move is used. Leftovers to help for healing from using Substitute. The Ability White Smoke is to prevent Heatmor's boosted stats to be lowered.

Answer 10

Gen 8 ZU

Heatmor @ Assault Vest
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Attack
- Fire Blast / Flamethrower
- Giga Drain
- Scorching Sands
- Knock Off

Fire Blast is strong STAB, but has 85% accuracy. You could use Flamethrower instead of Fire Blast for less power but more accuracy. Giga Drain provides coverage to all types that Heatmor is weak to. Scorching Sands has a 30% chance to burn the opponent, which is useful for crippling physical attackers. The purpose of Knock Off on this set is to remove the opponent's item.
