Raikou [Gold Star] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Raikou ★ is one of the ultra-rare Pokémon Star cards from EX Unseen Forces, a chase-card mechanic so exclusive that the card itself reminds you that only one Pokémon Star could be included in your deck.
Card History
This card is based on Raikou’s Shiny form, which is why its gold-star treatment feels so special to collectors—it represents one of the EX era’s signature ways of turning a Legendary Pokémon into a trophy pull.
Set Lore
EX Unseen Forces was released in English on August 22, 2005, and the set specifically continued the Pokémon-ex and Pokémon Star era, placing Raikou ★ among the headline rarities of one of the most beloved mid-2000s expansions.
Artist
Masakazu Fukuda illustrated Raikou ★, and Bulbapedia notes that he provided artwork for all Pokémon Star cards, deliberately exaggerating angles and colors to make them stand out from ordinary pulls.
Set Lore
Raikou was important enough to EX Unseen Forces that it also appeared on one of the set’s English booster pack artworks, giving this Gold Star an even stronger connection to the expansion’s visual identity.
