Probably not. Fire/Steel with flash fire is such an incredible combination that I don't see anything ever eclipsing Heatran in OU.

There won't be competition for Heatran until another defensive fire type is created, which is almost impossible with pebs around. It'll need to be some magic guard monstrocity or regen mon like Ho-Oh or something at least neautral to pebs with a lot else going for it.

It's supposed to have Genders because it is Transexual but cannot breed.

Heat = Fire
Tran = Transexual

According to bulbapedia;
"Heatran may be a combination of heat and transfer. Tran may also derive from transition metal, referring to the fact that iron, a transition metal, forms much of Earth's outer and inner core."

Probably was supposed to be a normal mon that was buffed to legendary status because Gen 4 couldn't make enough legendaries.
Funnily enough Volcarona seems like an inverse situation to this.

Fire/Flying is a really good defensive and offensive type and it is good in UU despite its weakness to pebs and nonacurate moves. How it is used in UU is more showing of what it could do in OU with a typeless or otherwise nerfed SR.

It has a really small niche use in OU stall, but it could do a lot more than that and fill a lot more roles if it didn't have to worry about losing 50% of its HP on switch in.

slowbro funtions pretty well in uu when paired with amoongus. gets nice coverage and can catch scizor with flamthrower/fire blast and with defensive investment can take any unboosted hit from it so long as it isn't banded

Slowbro is eternally viable. Just like Tangrowth, Amoongus, Gastrodon, and Quagsire. At any given time they may be suboptimal compared to another option, but they can always rise back to OU and will usually do work.
