#19 Heatmor - Dark Explorers (bw5)

Heatmor is a Fire-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featured in the Black & White series as part of the Dark Explorers set released on May 9, 2012. It has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and is depicted as a Rare card with number 19 in its series. Heatmor possesses two attacks: Hot Lick, which costs one Colorless energy to deal 10 damage and adds 50 damage if the defending Pokémon is Durant, and Firebreathing, requiring Fire and two Colorless energies to deal 50 damage plus an additional 20 if a coin flip results in heads. The card’s flavor text describes its ability to burn through Durant’s steel bodies using its flame-covered tongue. It is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. Designed by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, Heatmor’s artwork and mechanics reflect its fiery attributes without additional traits or abilities. The card’s design emphasizes its role as a direct attacker with straightforward, impactful moves. Its simplicity in gameplay aligns with its low retreat cost and focused offensive capabilities.
