The card's flavor text gives Heatmor a line of lore: "There's a hole in its tail that allows it to draw in the air it needs to keep its fire burning. If the hole gets blocked, this Pokémon will fall ill."
What is Heatmor worth?

Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Heatmor before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Heatmor grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Heatmor
Raw copies of Heatmor are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Heatmor is the practical move.
