#631 Heatmor
“Heatmor (Japanese: クイタラン Kuitaran) is a Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Heatmor is a bipedal, anteater-like Pokémon. It has a beige face while the rest of its fur is red with yellow stripes, sharing the appearance of molten lava. On its lower abdomen, back, and underside are raised, beige-colored bands that resemble pipes, leading to its tail. Heatmor’s claws, on both its feet and hands, are a dull yellow and on its wrists are raised, dented bands; both the wrists and feet are beige-colored. Its tail is dented upward and has a hole in it, similar in appearance to a muffler. It also seems to serve the same purpose as a muffler, being able to expel gases, although it is able to take in air as well.
Durant are the preferred prey of Heatmor. Heatmor expels flames from its mouth and uses it like a tongue, allowing it to burn through Durant’s steel bodies before consuming their insides. It uses the hole in its tail to absorb air in order to keep its fire burning. Should the hole get blocked, Heatmor will become ill. In Generation VII, Fire Lash was its signature move.“-Bulbapedia.
