Not very long ago we reported that Trainers would be looking ahead at Axew, Solipede, Sewaddle, and their respective evolutionary forms for a total of nine new Unova creatures making their way to Niantic's augmented reality mobile game,
Pokémon Go.
This was thanks to a leaked upcoming loading screen that landed on the internet which finally confirmed the new creatures fans would be receiving from Gen V.
Today, however, we look ahead at a member of Generation IV's Sinnoh Region that will be returning to the spotlight. Heatran, a Legendary Fire and Steel Pokémon who originally appeared in the Sinnoh Region during the fourth Generation titles in the series -
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
Beginning on Tuesday, January 7th at 1:00 pm PST and running until February 4th at 1:00 pm PST, Heatran will be returning to run the five-star Raid Battles in
Pokémon Go. A shiny version of Heatran will also be available for Trainers to capture during this time - or at least it is for those willing to face the cold in pursuit of the beast.
Keep in mind that whichever version you wind up capturing - shiny or not - with a dual type of Fire and Steel this unique creature is quite a formidable Pokémon to add to your team for the Master League.
