Description
Heatran LV.X, designated as card number 97 in the 2008 Pokémon Stormfront expansion, represents a unique branch of evolution within the Fire type. Unlike standard evolution lines, this card utilizes the LV.X mechanic, allowing Heatran to evolve from its base form directly into a Level-Up state. This distinctive treatment adds a strategic layer to the game, differentiating it from traditional Pokémon cards of the era. The card showcases the Rare Holo finish, a hallmark of the Stormfront set that collectors appreciate for its visual impact. Designed by artist Shizurow, the card captures the essence of this legendary Pokémon with a vibrant aesthetic that stands out in any binder. With 120 HP, Heatran LV.X offers a robust presence on the battlefield, capable of withstanding significant damage while utilizing its abilities to control the game state.
