#3 Heatran - Arceus (pl4)
Heatran is a Fire-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless energies. It appears in the Arceus set from the Platinum series, released on November 4, 2009. The card’s flavor text describes its rugged steel body, which is partially melted due to its own internal heat. Heatran has two attacks: Fire Fang, which costs Fire and Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and inflicts the Burn status on the defending Pokémon, and Magma Mantle, requiring four Energy to deal 60 plus 20 damage for each Fire or Metal Energy card discarded from the deck. The card is classified as a Rare Holo and is illustrated by artist Keiko Moritsugu. It has no resistances but is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s design reflects its fiery nature through its attack effects and thematic description.
