Raikou Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Raikou SL9 is one of the set’s coveted Shiny Legendary cards, a special subset in Call of Legends that gave Legendary Pokémon secret-style shiny treatments drawn from Japanese promotional origins.
Card History
This card’s Poké-Body is a clever nod to the video games, because 'Extreme Speed' is one of Raikou’s level-up moves in the main series and here it becomes a mobility-focused TCG effect that slashes Retreat Cost.
Card History
Raikou has rare anime spotlight status compared with many Legendary Pokémon, even appearing as a main character in the special The Legend of Thunder!, which gives this card extra story weight for Johto fans.
In-Game
The flavor text on this card directly echoes Raikou’s Pokédex identity as a beast that races across the land with a thunder-like cry, tying the card tightly to the mythic, storm-chasing image established in the games.
Artist
Noriko Hotta began illustrating Pokémon cards in the HeartGold & SoulSilver era, so Raikou SL9 comes from the same early period that introduced her artwork to the TCG during one of Johto’s most collector-loved blocks.
