Legends Awakened is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on August 1, 2008. The printed size is 146, and the checklist is the same length. Heatran is 30/146, in position 30 of 146 on this checklist. Before it is 29 Groudon, and after it is 31 Jirachi. The listed rarity is Rare.

Heatran is a Basic Metal Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 45. In the Pokédex this is Heatran (#485), generation 4 (Sinnoh).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Heatran (#485) has 27 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Heatran LV.X DP31/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Heatran LV.X, while this one is Heatran. That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Shizurow illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 4, and here it is 3. 24 other cards of Heatran list a different HP.

Smelt is listed as Poké-Power. 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. The attack Heavy Metal lists 40+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin for each Metal Energy attached to Heatran. This attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It dwells in volcanic caves. It digs in with its cross-shaped feet to crawl on ceilings and walls."

I keep a set binder for Legends Awakened, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legends Awakened set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Heatran can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
