Heatran supports Fire teams with its role compression via its distinctive typing and versatile utility. Some of its notable roles are breaking past troublesome walls such as Toxapex, denying entry hazard setters such as Tyranitar and Clefable with Taunt, and setting Stealth Rock. Heatran's typing grants it neutrality to Rock-type attacks from foes such as Choice Scarf Nihilego; it also checks Choice Band Excadrill locked into Earthquake. Air Balloon grants a one-time immunity to Ground-type attacks, which allows it to check Stakataka and Mamoswine. Magma Storm, in conjunction with Taunt, allows Heatran to trap and break through walls such as Toxapex and Chansey, which are otherwise difficult for Fire teams to break through. Earth Power is used to hit opposing Heatran and threats such as Toxapex and Volcanion. Flash Cannon helps Heatran deal with Pokemon such as Tapu Lele, Hydreigon, and Latias.

Heatran's teammates value its ability to switch into Ground-type attacks from Excadrill, Mamoswine, and Landorus-T. Volcarona greatly appreciates Heatran beating walls like Toxapex and opposing Heatran for it to successfully sweep. Cinderace's vast coverage options like High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt are appreciated, as they aid in defeating Pokemon such as Tyranitar, Kyurem, and Nidoking as well as specially defensive walls like Blissey and Chansey. Choice Scarf Blacephalon is capable of defeating Slowking, which Heatran struggles against, and it appreciates Heatran weakening specially defensive walls with Magma Storm chip damage. Choice Band Victini forms a wallbreaking core with Heatran, as it can do immense damage to threats such as Landorus-T and Excadrill with V-Create as well as pressure troublesome Water-types like Mantine with Bolt Strike. Volcanion is mandatory on Fire teams due to its ability to absorb Water-type attacks from Tapu Fini, Barraskewda, and Azumarill. Additionally, Volcanion is capable of using Defog to get rid of Stealth Rock, which Fire teams are prone to. Moltres is capable of switching into Fighting-type attacks from Galarian Zapdos and Buzzwole while also providing Defog to remove entry hazards. Torkoal allows Heatran to use Flash Cannon over Stealth Rock and boosts Magma Storm with Drought. Incineroar is able to pivot Heatran in with Parting Shot and supports Heatran's wallbreaking ability by removing held items with Knock Off. Its ability to check Tapu Lele and Dragapult is also appreciated

Heatran supports Fire teams with a plethora of useful roles due to it's distinctive typing (should expand on what roles you are talking about and how its typing connects with them) and overall decent stats. Heatran's fundamental dual-typing grants it neutrality against Rock-type Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Nihilego and Stakataka if Air Balloon is still active. Exclusive access to Magma Storm in conjunction with Taunt allows Heatran to trap and break walls such as Toxapex and Chansey which are otherwise difficult for Fire teams to break through to beat with the rest of the team. Earth Power is used to hit opposing Heatran and Water-types such as Toxapex, Slowbro, and Volcanion. Flash Cannon acts as secondary STAB which further helps Heatran against Rock-type Pokemon as well as opponents that resist Magma Storm (include what opponents). Full special attack and speed EVs as well as a Timid nature enable Heatran as an efficient wallbreaker, 4 special defense EVs force Download Porygon-Z and Porygon2 to gain an attack boost instead of special attack. (usually ev spreads are explained if the ev spread does something in particular, this one is just max max so there isnt a need to expand on it here)

Cinderace, Blacephalon, and Victini all value Heatran switching into Ground-type attacks while Air Balloon is still enabled (all of fire kind of appreciates this minus moltres, these 3 arent really exclusive to that. separate these 3 into their own sections and write about what they provide for fire and heatran in general, such as cinderace beating special walls heatran might struggle against like chansey or blissey, blacephalon being able to defeat slowking which can beat heatran or swap into it easily, and victini being able to break through lando-t with band). Heatran offensively pressuring Rock-type Pokemon (give examples) benefits the likes of Volcarona and Moltres which can let it setup without being forced out are extremely weak to them. Majority of Fire-type Pokemon appreciate Heatran's ability to trap and defeat Toxapex and Slowbro. Volcanion is mandatory on Fire teams deeply cherished due to its the ability to of absorbing Water-type attacks from Tapu Fini, Barraskewda, and Azumarill. Blacephalon, Victini, and Volcarona are able to switch into Fighting-type moves from Buzzwole, Cobalion, and Toxicroak instead of saying these 3 mons, say moltres will switch into fighting type moves for heatran, and choose different examples, buzz coba and croak all get destroyed by fire.. Torkoal provides a high amount of utility compression in the forms of setting up sun to weaken Water-type attacks, removing entry hazards with Rapid Spin, and further supporting Heatran's breaking ability with Stealth Rock. Heatran appreciates Cinderace's vast coverage options in defeating Pokemon such as Tyranitar, Nidoking, and Kyurem (this should be in the first sentence of this section, cinderace is arguably the best teammate heatran has).

(i would remove torkoal as a teammate and add alolan marowak because an elec immune is more desirable here, lightning rod makes it great, helps vs tapu koko)

Heatran supports Fire teams with a plethora of useful roles due to it's distinctive typing and versatile utility. Some of it's notable roles are setting Stealth Rock, breaking past troublesome walls such as Toxapex, and shutting down setup oppurtunities (from whom?) with Taunt. Heatran's dual-typing grants it neutrality against Rock-type Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Nihilego and Stakataka if Air Balloon is still active (Air Balloon isnt directly linked to its neutrality to Rock, maybe you could say its neutrality lets it deal with nihi, while it also checks Stakataka and x if Air Balloon is still intact). Magma Storm in conjunction with Taunt allows Heatran to trap and break walls such as Toxapex and Chansey which are otherwise difficult for Fire teams to break through. Earth Power is used to hit opposing Heatran and Water-types such as Toxapex and Volcanion. Flash Cannon helps Heatran against Rock-type Pokemon as well as opponents that resist Magma Storm like Rhyperior, Hydreigon, and Latias (more than these, it hits Tapu Lele too, as its typing lets the team not get Psychic'ed. I'm unsure of Rhyperior though as Flash cannon activates WP, and +2 252+ Atk Rhyperior Stone Edge vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 360-424 (111.1 - 130.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO ...you kinda die).

Heatran's teammates value it's ability to switch into Ground-type attacks from Excadrill, Mamoswine, and Landorus-T. Heatran's ability to offensively pressure Rock-type Pokemon such as Nihilego, Stakataka, and Rhyperior benefits the likes of Volcarona which can let it setup without being forced out.

Choice Scarf Blacephalon is capable of defeating Slowking and Pallosand which Heatran struggles against. Choice Band Victini can do immense damage against threats such as Landorus-T and Excadrill with the help of V-Create (add that it has bolt strike too, deals with Fini and Mantine). Volcanion is mandatory on Fire teams due to its ability to absorb Water-type attacks from Tapu Fini, Barraskewda, and Azumarill (also Defogs). Moltres is capable of switching into Fighting-type attacks from Galarian Zapdos, Conkeldurr, and Hawlucha, (conk and Luch rare, swap examples) while also providing Defog to remove entry hazards. Alolan Marowak provides an Electric-type immunity to help against the likes of Tapu Koko and Regieleki.
*Torkoal is also an option as it lets Heatran get less damage from scald, and frees Heatran from using Rocks itself

Heatran supports Fire teams with a plethora of useful roles due to it's distinctive typing and versatile utility. Some of it's notable roles are setting Stealth Rock, breaking past troublesome walls such as Toxapex, and denying hazard setters such as Shuckle and Landorus-T (both of these wont work. shuckle runs mental herb and Landos are usually specced to 297 speed, which means its faster than it usually) with Taunt. Heatran's dual-typing grants it neutrality against Rock-type Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Nihilego, while it also checks Choice Band Excadrill locked into Earthquake Rhyperior and Stakataka if Air Balloon is still intact. Magma Storm in conjunction with Taunt allows Heatran to trap and break walls such as Toxapex and Chansey which are otherwise difficult for Fire teams to break through. Earth Power is used to hit opposing Heatran and Water-types such as Toxapex and Volcanion. Flash Cannon helps Heatran against deal with Pokemon that spam unresisted coverage and opponents who resist Magma Storm such as Tapu Lele, Hydreigon, and Latias.

Heatran's teammates value it's ability to switch into Ground-type attacks from Excadrill, Mamoswine, and Landorus-T. Heatran's ability to offensively pressure Rock-type Pokemon such as Nihilego, Stakataka, and Rhyperior benefits the likes of Volcarona which can let it setup without being forced out. Cinderace's vast coverage options in High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt are appreciated as they aid in defeating Pokemon such as Tyranitar, Kyurem, and Nidoking as well as specially defensive walls like Blissey and Chansey. Choice Scarf Blacephalon is capable of defeating Slowking and Pallosand which Heatran struggles against. (Add that it benefits from Tran's ability to weaken special walls too) Choice Band Victini can do immense damage against threats such as Landorus-T and Excadrill with the help of V-Create as well as troublesome Water-types like Mantine with Bolt Strike. Volcanion is mandatory on Fire teams due to its ability to absorb Water-type attacks from Tapu Fini, Barraskewda, and Azumarill. Additionally, Volcanion is capable of using Defog to get rid of Stealth Rock which Fire teams are prone to. Moltres is capable of switching into Fighting-type attacks from Galarian Zapdos, Cobalion, and Buzzewole, while also providing Defog to remove entry hazards. Alolan Marowak provides an Electric-type immunity to help against the likes of Tapu Koko and Regieleki. (also pressures bulkier types like Poison) Torkoal supports Fire teams with excellent utility compression in the forms of hazard removal with Rapid Spin, hazard setting with Stealth Rock, spreading status ailments with Toxic and Yawn, and finally providing the team with Drought to weaken Water-type moves and strengthen Fire-type attacks.
*since we have Torkoal, we could also add :incineroar:, it pivots, knocks, and shares the ability to deal with stuff like Lele/Pult.

Some of it's notable roles are setting Stealth Rock, breaking past troublesome walls such as Toxapex, and denying hazard setters such as Shuckle and Landorus-T (both of these wont work. shuckle runs mental herb and Landos are usually specced to 297 speed, which means its faster than it usually) with Taunt. Heatran's dual-typing grants it neutrality against Rock-type Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Nihilego, while it also checks Choice Band Excadrill locked into Earthquake Rhyperior and Stakataka if Air Balloon is still intact. Magma Storm in conjunction with Taunt allows Heatran to trap and break walls such as Toxapex and Chansey which are otherwise difficult for Fire teams to break through. Earth Power is used to hit opposing Heatran and Water-types such as Toxapex and Volcanion. Flash Cannon helps Heatran against deal with Pokemon that spam unresisted coverage and opponents who resist Magma Storm such as Tapu Lele, Hydreigon, and Latias.

Heatran's teammates value it's ability to switch into Ground-type attacks from Excadrill, Mamoswine, and Landorus-T. Heatran's ability to offensively pressure Rock-type Pokemon such as Nihilego, Stakataka, and Rhyperior benefits the likes of Volcarona which can let it setup without being forced out. Cinderace's vast coverage options in High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt are appreciated as they aid in defeating Pokemon such as Tyranitar, Kyurem, and Nidoking as well as specially defensive walls like Blissey and Chansey. Choice Scarf Blacephalon is capable of defeating Slowking and Pallosand which Heatran struggles against. (Add that it benefits from Tran's ability to weaken special walls too) Choice Band Victini can do immense damage against threats such as Landorus-T and Excadrill with the help of V-Create as well as troublesome Water-types like Mantine with Bolt Strike. Volcanion is mandatory on Fire teams due to its ability to absorb Water-type attacks from Tapu Fini, Barraskewda, and Azumarill. Additionally, Volcanion is capable of using Defog to get rid of Stealth Rock which Fire teams are prone to. Moltres is capable of switching into Fighting-type attacks from Galarian Zapdos, Cobalion, and Buzzewole, while also providing Defog to remove entry hazards. Alolan Marowak provides an Electric-type immunity to help against the likes of Tapu Koko and Regieleki. (also pressures bulkier types like Poison) Torkoal supports Fire teams with excellent utility compression in the forms of hazard removal with Rapid Spin, hazard setting with Stealth Rock, spreading status ailments with Toxic and Yawn, and finally providing the team with Drought to weaken Water-type moves and strengthen Fire-type attacks.
*since we have Torkoal, we could also add :incineroar:, it pivots, knocks, and shares the ability to deal with stuff like Lele/Pult.

Body Press in tandem with Air Balloon can be used to offensively check Tyranitar, leaving its teammates such as Volcarona free to setup without issue against Dark teams. Toxic can also be used to cripple Water-type walls such as Gastrodon and Slowking.

- I think "Stallbreaker" is probably a more fitting name than "Offensive" given what it does.

[SET COMMENTS]
- "it's" when referring to something Heatran's -> "its";
- The first role mentioned in the paragraph is about Heatran setting SR, but SR is a slash on the set. Reorder this, making it last since the set prioritizes stallbreaking;
- Heatran's dual typing (no hyphen) gives it a neutrality against Rock-type attacks, not Pokemon;
- In the same sentence, the Air Balloon description seems too specific for an item that's generally useful. Make a new one for it, saying it grants a one-time immunity against Ground-type attacks, which allows it to check X and Y;
- Remove the "Earth Power hits Water-types" part. Just say it hits the mentioned threats;
- The Volcarona part on the second paragraph seems awkward, since 1) Staka and Rhyperior are very rarely seen and 2) Heatran does more than only pressure Rock-types for Volcarona. Instead, say that Volcarona greatly appreciates Heatran beating walls like Toxapex and opposing Heatran for it to successfully sweep;
- Mention CB Victini forms a wallbreaking core w/ Heatran because of these exact reasons;
- Delete the AWak part. More niche mon that doesn't /really/ benefit directly from Heatran;
- Just say Torkoal frees Heatran to not run SR + powers up Heatran's Magma Storm. No need to list everything it does;
- Same goes for Incineroar.
