Heatran card value

Heatran cards draw their value from the modern game, with the Sun & Moon era supplying the most entries among the twenty-five leaders and Diamond & Pearl and Sword & Shield close behind. The most valuable Heatran card is Heatran-EX, an Ultra Rare from Plasma Freeze in 2013. All 28 Heatran cards carry a market value, spanning 2007 to 2026, and the ten leading cards hold 97 percent of the total value, so Heatran card value sits almost entirely in a short list of prints.

What makes the top Heatran cards valuable

Heatran-EX from Plasma Freeze (2013) leads the most valuable Heatran cards by 2.1 times over the next card, the Heatran from Pokémon Rumble (2009). Third is the Heatran from DP Black Star Promos (2007), printed as a Common. Fourth is the Heatran Rare Holo LV.X from Stormfront (2008), a holo with the LV.X mechanic from the Diamond & Pearl era. Fifth is the second Heatran-EX from Plasma Freeze, a Rare print, so both EX cards from that set rank in the top five Heatran cards.

Heatran cards by era

Of the twenty-five leading Heatran cards, 8 come from Sun & Moon, 6 from Diamond & Pearl, 6 from Sword & Shield and 2 from Black & White. All twenty-five are modern and none is vintage, where vintage means the WOTC era and modern is every later era. The same holds in the top ten, with all 10 modern. The newest era's leader is Heatran from Pitch Black (2026) in the Mega Evolution era, which sits 26th overall.

Rarities and prints among the top Heatran cards

The ten leading Heatran cards cover seven printed rarities: 2 Secret Rare, 2 Ultra Rare, and one each of Common, Promo, Rare, Rare Holo and Rare Holo LV.X. Widening to the top twenty-five, Holo Rare is the most common rarity with 7 cards, followed by 4 Rare and 4 Ultra Rare. Two Secret Rare cards, a Holo Rare V, a Holo Rare VMAX, a Radiant Rare, a Rare Holo, a Rare Holo LV.X, a Promo and a Common complete that group.

How Heatran cards compare with other Pokémon

By the value of its single leading card, Heatran ranks 131st of 1020 species with priced cards. By the combined value of its ten leaders, it ranks 131st of 753. With 97 percent of the value in ten cards and the top card 2.1 times the second, the Heatran card market is built on a few leading prints rather than a broad base.
