It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Heatmor is a bipedal, anteater-like Pokémon. It has a beige face while the rest of its fur is red with yellow stripes sharing appearance of molten lava. On its lower abdomen, back, and underside are raised, beige colored bands which resemble pipes, leading to its tail. Its claws, on both its feet and hands, are a dull yellow and on its wrists are raised, dented bands; both the wrists and feet are beige-colored. Its tail is dented upward and has a hole in it, similar in appearance to a muffler. It also seems to serve the same purpose as a muffler, being able to expel gases.

Gender differences

Heatmor can burn Durant's shells to eat them with its high-temperature tongue. They inhale through their tail while Heatmor blazes with an internal fire.

Trivia

• Currently, all other Pokemon that remain Fire type normally can learn Overheat, except Heatmor. The reason for this is unknown.
• Heatmor being the natural predator of Durant is reflected in their types.
• Heatmor, along with Torkoal, are the only non-legendary Fire types that have no evolutionary relatives.
  • Coincidentally, both of them are the only Pokémon to have White Smoke as one of their Abilities.

Origin

Heatmor seems to be based on an anteater with elements of flamethrowers and ironworks. Its wrists resemble gun barrels and its tail is similar to a car's muffler.

Name origin

Heatmor may be a combination of heat and armor (referring to the armored appearance of its fur) or mortar (referring to its typing and barrel-like arms). It may also be a play on eat more, as in to "eat more ants."

Kuitaran may be a combination of アリクイ arikui (anteater) and anteater, specifically the an and tar. It may also derive from the reverse of نار nār (Arabic for fire).
