>>37051626I think a pokemon falls into irrelevance if a proper replacement is found or its role is no longer required, like Pelipper replacing Politoed as the best rain setter.
Heatran has Flash Fire, Magma Storm, double Fairy resistance (and even 3 more double resistances), is immune to poison and is neutral to rock moves/hazards which already makes it an elite fire type. Zygarde didn't make Heatran fall and neither will Ash-Greninja.
