#9 Raikou - Call of Legends (col1)
Raikou is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a Retreat Cost of two Colorless Energy. It possesses the ability Extreme Speed, which reduces its Retreat Cost by one Colorless for each Lightning Energy attached. The card’s primary attack, Raging Thunder, costs two Lightning and one Colorless Energy to deal 70 damage and bypasses Weakness and Resistance for the target Pokémon. Raikou resists Metal-type attacks by 20 damage but is weak to Fighting-type moves, dealing double damage. Its flavor text describes a Pokémon that races across the land while emitting a thunder-like cry. The card is part of the HeartGold & SoulSilver series, released in February 2011, as part of the Call of Legends set. Artist Noriko Hotta designed the artwork, and the card is classified as a Rare Holo.
