What this card does

Wrack Down does 40 damage and doesn't require any Energy cards.

Iron Buster deals heavy damage at 130 but prevents Heatran from attacking for the next turn.

Signature attack

Iron Buster

During your next turn, this Pokémon can't attack. (130 damage)

Heatran is great for dealing consistent damage, though it sacrifices an attack turn to do so with Iron Buster. Its Metal-type makes it resistant to Fire attacks.
