Trivia

  • Heatran is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be either a male or a female, where as Latias and Cresselia can be only female, and Thundurus, Tornadus, Landorus and Latios can be only male. They are the only Legendary Pokémon that can retain a gender.
  • Even though Heatran has a gender, it cannot produce eggs because it is still a Legendary Pokémon.
  • Heatran is the only Fire/Steel type Legendary Pokémon (not including Arceus with the Flame, and or Steel plate)
  • No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Heatran.
  • Heatran is the only Legendary Pokémon with a gender that can be hit by Ground type moves, that is, under normal conditions.
  • Heatran and Kyurem are somewhat similar because Heatran's body is partialy melted because it's heat was "too hot" and Kyurem's body is partialy frozen because it's "power leaked out".
  • Heatran has the most double-resistances of all Pokémon yet, with 4: Grass , Bug , Ice , and Steel.
