Raikou Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Raikou is one of Neo Revelation’s standout non-holo rares, pairing the protective Legendary Body Pokémon Power with Lightning Spark’s chance to snipe the Bench, which gave it a distinctly tricky WotC-era play pattern.
Artist
Naoyo Kimura’s artwork for Raikou is part of a larger connected illustration with Entei and Suicune, and the full trio image was even reused on Japanese postcards tied to Premium File 3.
Set Lore
Raikou fits Neo Revelation perfectly because the set’s entire identity centers on the awakening of Johto’s legendary beasts, and the expansion’s symbol itself represents that trio.
In-Game
For Game Boy fans, Raikou is unforgettable as one of Johto’s roaming Legendary beasts, released from the Burned Tower to wander the region after the player encounters the trio.
Cultural Impact
Raikou’s mystique goes beyond the card game: Bulbapedia notes the Legendary beasts are often linked by fans and official lore to mythic beast imagery, with Raikou especially associated with the lightning-first event in the Burned Tower legend.
