This attack does 80 damage times the number of heads. Rage is another attack lists 30+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Infernape. Weakness is Water +30. The flavor text reads "It uses unique fighting moves with fires on its hands and feet.

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