The <b>Heatran quest</b> is one out of many additional, not story related [[Legendary Pokémon]] quests and is the only way to catch the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Heatran]]. This quest is also the only quest that gives the player an option to choose two different ways to encounter a legendary Pokémon on PRO.

==Preparation for the quest==
It is recommended to prepare well for this quest as you have to fight through a large area with many trainers in order to be able to catch [[Heatran]]. <br>
Entering this area requires a Pokémon with a level of 60 or less. And you can only bring one Pokémon with you. Therefore, a good choice of your partner is important.

<b>Depending on which way you choose to catch Heatran, the following Pokémon are often recommended:</b>
*[[Umbreon]] or [[Gardevoir]]
*[[Snorlax]], [[Gyarados]] or [[Garchomp]]

You should keep in mind that all [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] and [[Master Ball]]s will be taken away by an NPC for the duration of the quest. Once the quest has been completed, the NPC will return them.
==Stark Mountain==
The closest [[Pokémon Center]] to [[Stark Mountain]] is located in [[Fight Area]], therefore you have to pass through [[Route 225]], [[Route 226]] and [[Route 227]] in order to enter [Stark Mountain]] and fight through [[Stark Mountain Entrance Pt]] to reach Buck and the starting point of the quest. Based on this fact, it is recommended to clear these areas first, as [[Stark Mountain]] can only be accessed with a single Pokémon in your team which has a level of 60 or less. Passing through this area without clearing it first may result in unwanted level-ups.


Once arrived at [[Stark Mountain]], you can enter the cave. Pass through the first part and talk with Buck. When you hit the requirement of having only one Pokémon in your team which is level 60 or less, the quests starts. Buck will take all [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] and [[Master Ball]]s from you, you can also not leave this area without canceling the quest. If you do decide to leave, you will need a level 60 or lower Pokémon to enter again. Same goes for fainting inside the mountain.

Once you are in the mountain, you have to cross through it in order to enter the inner cave where [[Heatran]] is located. For that, you have to pass through many trainers. To help yourself, you can catch some Pokémon in the cave to be able to heal up your main Pokémon with [[Revive]]s or other [[Healing items|healing items]], in case it gets defeated or low on health. Defeating all the trainers can be an advantage, in such a way that the final fight, which must be done after this part of the cave, will be easier. The shortest, meaning the way with the fewest trainers, is shown below.

===Stark Mountain Heatran Pt===
Once you have reached Heatran's room, you will have a dialogue scene and have to fight Commander Mars.
{{GymLeaderLineup|NPC=Commander Mars|Lineup=Skuntank,Toxicroak,Bronzong,Luxray,Milotic|Moves0=Night Slash,Double-Edge|Moves1=Rock Slide,Cross Chop|Moves2=Metal Sound,Psychic|Moves3=Wild Charge,Ice Fang|Moves4=Dragon Breath,Hydro Pump}}

==Catching Heatran==
Now that Commander Mars has been beaten, you can fight [[Heatran]] which is level 75, and have the chance to catch it. Doing this won't allow you to [[Synchronize (ability)|sync]] it or use a [[Master Ball]]. Alternatively, you can defeat it in order to talk to Buck who will give you your [[Rare Candy]] and [[Master Ball]]s back and you can leave the cave, to retrieve your desired [[Synchronize (ability)|sync]], and re-enter it without any requirements needed. If you choose to defeat it, [[Heatran]] will re-spawn in its room but will be level 30 this time.
