Pokémon GO: Today starts special raid hour with Heatran – best counterattack

Another special raid hour will take place in Pokémon GO today, November 27, 2021, where you will meet the legendary Pokémon Heatran. We at MeinMMO took a look at which counterattack you should use best and whether the event is worthwhile for you.

What kind of event is that? As you know it from the weekly raid hours, you will again see numerous level 5 raids for an hour today. On the occasion of the current Hoopa event, daily raid hours are also taking place during it. Today you will meet the legendary raid boss Heatran.

Raid hour with Heatran – best counterattack

When does the raid lesson start? As you are used to from the regular raid hours, the event starts today, November 27, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. local time. In advance you can see the dark eggs above the arenas, which show you the upcoming level 5 raids. After one hour, at 7:00 p.m. local time, the raids will then decrease.

Use this counterattack against Heatran

The legendary Pokémon of the fire and steel type comes from the 4th generation. It is particularly weak against ground-type attacks, but combat and water attacks are also troublesome. Take advantage of this weakness and rely on the following counterattacks (via pokebattler.com):

Pokémon	Moveset
Knackrack	Clay shot and earth forces
Demeteros	Clay shot and earthquake
Rihornior	Clay shot and earthquake
(Crypto-) Mamutel	Clay wave and steamroller
Groudon	Clay shot and earthquake
Stalobor	Clay clamp and hammer drill
(Crypto-) Sumpex	Clay shot and earthquake
(Crypto-) Libelldra	Clay shot and earth forces
Golgantes	Clay clamp and earth forces
Rabigator	Clay clamp and earthquake

Against Heatran, your mega developments are also ideal:

• Mega Turtok with aqua gun and aqua howitzer
• Mega Gyarados with a cascade and hydraulic pump

Is the raid lesson with Heatran worth it?

Is there Heatran as Shiny? Yes, Heatran is also available in the game as Shiny. You can recognize it by the pink eyes and the orange-red body.

How strong is it Heatran can convince with strong values. Above all, it scores with a high attack and stamina value, which is why it is one of the best fire attackers in Pokémon GO. And it’s also a good candidate in the champions league (via pvpoke.com).

For whom is the raid lesson worthwhile? Anyone who is still looking for a strong Fire Pokémon for use in raids or the GO Fight League should definitely take their chance today. In addition, with a little luck you will have the opportunity to encounter a dazzling specimen.

Alternatively, the large number of raids makes it a good idea to collect as many Heatran candies as possible. You need this to level up a strong specimen. It is not yet known when Heatran will next appear in the level 5 raids.
