This is a huge deal for balance teams which usually lose a pokemon every time Heatran comes out.
It can also stall break vs stall and wall thing vs offense, so it offers good role compression.
It has a fuckton of utility tools that be customized to fit your team. Knock off, taunt, stealth rock, defog, toxic, u turn.
