Heatran (#485) has 27 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 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 130 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Shizurow illustrated that card, and tetsuya koizumi illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 4, and here it is 3. 21 other cards of Heatran list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads tetsuya koizumi. I count 62 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Forbidden Light set binder is where a full Forbidden Light set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Heatran can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
