07Why Collectors Want It

Heatran — Pokemon TCG catalog (Pokedex #485).
Required for any complete Heatran master set across eras.
Collectors of the Legends Awakened set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Heatran with 100 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Smelt

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may move a Metal Energy attached to 1 of your Pokémon to Heatran. This power can't be used if Heatran is affected by a Special Condition.

Heavy Metal Cost: Colorless + Colorless + Colorless · 40+ damage

Flip a coin for each Metal Energy attached to Heatran. This attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads.

Weakness: Water ×2
Retreat cost: 3

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
