Raikou-EX #105 is the full-art Ultra Rare version from Dark Explorers, a 2012 Black & White expansion that specifically spotlighted Pokémon-EX like Raikou-EX as marquee pulls.
Set Lore
Dark Explorers was marketed around 'exploring the darkness,' but Raikou-EX stood out as one of the set’s electric headliners alongside heavy hitters like Darkrai-EX and Groudon-EX, giving this card a memorable place in one of the BW era’s most collector-loved expansions.
In-Game
Raikou’s in-game mystique comes from its roaming Legendary status in Johto titles like Pokémon Crystal and HeartGold & SoulSilver, where encountering it felt like chasing a storm across the map.
Cultural Impact
Raikou’s legend is tied to the Burned Tower story, where the order of the Legendary beasts in the National Pokédex reflects the disaster itself—Raikou represents the lightning that struck first, giving this card extra mythic weight for Johto fans.
Card History
Raikou gained a major anime spotlight in Zoroark: Master of Illusions, which Bulbapedia notes was the first time Raikou had a starring role in a Pokémon movie and the first time all three Legendary beasts appeared together in the animated series.
