Which one's better, Genesect or Heatran?

May. 16, 2019

So I need a team for Pokemon Showdown!. I did a Randomizer and got Genesect and Heatran. But which one do I use for my team?

I think Genesect. It depends do you play competitive or casual.Whatever you play Genesect might be better.

I believe Genesect is a better option than Heatran Because Genesect has only one weakness i.e Fire type movesHowever Heatran has 3 weaknesses. An Earthquake move can Stab Heatran in one hit Due to Fire/Steel type combination of Heatran. Also Heatran is not a strong Pokemon in term of it’s Defense.

In general Genesect is better than Heatran. Reasons:

Genesect has higher speed.Genesect has less weaknesses( Genesect has 1 Heatran has 3).More useful ability( who wants to hit Heatran with a fire type move?)You can use both Physical and Special moves on Genesect.

In terms of being better, Genesect is an Event only Pokémon whereas I was able to catch my Heatran in Pokémon Pearl.

However before you consider my answer take your teams current type coverage into account first.
