Read more ↓Heatmor, the Anteater Pokémon, is a unique Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is known for its distinct appearance, resembling an anteater with fiery accents, and its specialized diet. Heatmor preys exclusively on Durant, another Bug/Steel-type Pokémon, using its incredibly hot, flame-covered tongue to melt through Durant's steel body and consume its insides. This symbiotic relationship, or rather, predatory relationship, is a fascinating aspect of the Pokémon world's ecology. Heatmor does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, making it a standalone species. In the games, Heatmor is often found in areas where Durant are also present, highlighting their natural rivalry. Its design is inspired by anteaters and blacksmiths, with parts of its body resembling metal pipes and furnaces. Heatmor has a niche role in competitive play due to its unique ability, Gluttony, and its specific type matchups. It has appeared in the Pokémon anime, often depicted in its natural environment hunting Durant, further emphasizing its specialized predatory nature. Heatmor's distinct design and ecological role contribute to its recognition within the Pokémon franchise.
