Heatran

[Buttstain]

Hey there everyone,

I was having a bit of trouble with the Heatran quest but after a few hours I finally got to the end and beat the heatran. Shortly after beating it, I noticed that the heatran didn't disappear so I fought it again and killed it. I'm afraid I may have accidentally triggered the catchable version of heatran right after beating the level 99 one, and now it doesn't seem to let me re encounter it so i'm afraid I might not have access to it anymore. The guy named Buck teleported me out and when I went back the heatran was still gone. Is it a timer reset or am I totally screwed?

After reading this, I think you accidentally killed the lvl 30 heatran(which you were supposed to catch) after defeating a lvl 99 one. 

In this scenario, you can go to battle Boss Nikola, who is available in Trainers Valley, from which if you defeat, will grant you second opportunity to catch heatran.

Just for you to know, both lvl 99 and lvl 30 Heatrans are catchable.

Hi, @Buttstain

 

As acetzy already mentioned, you can re-catch heatran by defeating the boss Nikola at Trainers Valley.

Note that you'll have to first unlock Trainers Valley via a pre-quest in order to battle Nikola. 

Nikola boss is pretty difficult to defeat and have a 21 day cooldown, so I recommend to check guides and prepare before challenging.

If you have any additional questions regarding your issue, do not hesitate asking.

I'll be waiting for your reply.

 

Have a nice day.

Kind regards, HappyMango.
