Trainers will be able to get a chance to catch Heatran and possibly its shiny version beginning on Tuesday, Januar 7th, at 1 PM. Players will no longer be able to find Heatran or its shiny version when the character’s status as a five-star raid opponent ends on Tuesday, February 4th at 1 PM. This period means players almost have a full month to set aside some time to add this formidable character to their teams.

This particular raid boss is a Fire and Steel-type, which means players will have the most success battling it with Fighting and Water-types. You will also need a full group to have a fighting chance of taking down this five-star raid boss, so make sure to round up all of your friends and discuss which team compositions will be the best against this legendary foe.
