When you're ready, talk to Heatran, and the battle will start. Heatran is a {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Steel}}-type Pokemon, and is at Level 70. {{type|Ground}} moves deal significant damage on it, so be careful if you're unleashing something like {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Earth Power}}. Start off with moves that causes sleep or paralysis (do not bother with {{status|freeze}}— it will instantly defrost with Fire-type moves. Heatran is also immune to {{status|burn}} or {{status|poison}}). Follow up with {{type|Water}} or {{type|Fighting}} moves. Then, keep on damaging with weaker attacks until its HP bar is red. After that, keep throwing Dusk Balls (as you're in a cave, Dusk Balls work best) until you successfully catch it. It does not possess its [[signature move]]-- {{m|Magma Storm}}, but watch out for {{m|Lava Plume}}, which can still hurt a lot! {{m|Iron Head}} can also potentially hit you hard. Do not hesitate when you need to use medicines to heal your Pokemon.

Heatran is also immune to being {{status|burn}}ed and {{status|poison}}ed). Follow up with a {{t|Water}}- or {{t|Fighting}}-type move. Then, keep on damaging with weaker attacks until its HP bar is red. After that, keep throwing {{DL|Poké Ball|Dusk Ball}}s (as you're in a cave, these work best) until you successfully catch it. It does not know its [[signature move]], {{m|Magma Storm}}, but watch out for {{m|Lava Plume}}, which can still hurt a lot! {{m|Iron Head}} can also potentially hit you hard. Do not hesitate to heal your Pokemon often.
 
Once you've caught Heatran, get yourself out of the volcano and continue to {{rt|228|Sinnoh}}. From the T-junction of Routes 226 and 228, head east into the [[gate]]. Or, if you're not ready, Fly back to [[Survival Area]] first and heal up.
