The card includes a unique ability called Legendary Body, which protects Raikou and attached Energy cards from most Trainer card effects while active, requiring any attached Trainer cards to be discarded. Raikou’s primary attack, Lightning Spark, costs three Lightning Energy and deals 30 damage, with an additional effect that targets an opponent’s Bench Pokémon if they have any, dealing 20 extra damage upon a successful coin flip. The Pokémon has a Fighting-type weakness that doubles its damage. Its flavor text describes it as a swift, thunderous creature that races across the land with a bark resembling crashing thunder. Raikou has a retreat cost of zero, allowing it to remain in play without requiring Energy for retreat. The card’s themecolor, #c7ab62, reflects its dynamic, storm-like nature.
