Raikou Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This non-holo Raikou is part of Skyridge’s split numbering, where the same Pokémon also received a separate holo version, giving collectors two distinct chase paths for one Legendary Beast.
Set Lore
Raikou #28 comes from Skyridge, the third and final English e-Card expansion and the last Pokémon TCG set produced by Wizards of the Coast, which makes every card in the set feel like part of the end of an era.
In-Game
Raikou’s Johto legend says it was resurrected by Ho-Oh after the Brass Tower fire and came to embody the lightning strike itself, which makes a Lightning-type Skyridge card like this feel especially true to the Pokémon’s origin story.
Card History
In the anime special The Legend of Thunder!, Raikou is portrayed as a wild, distrustful force of nature that only slowly warms to humans, adding extra mystique to any early-era Raikou card in a collector’s binder.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational artists of the Pokémon TCG, whose long career from the game’s beginning gives Skyridge-era pieces like this one serious historical weight for art-focused collectors.
