#55 Raikou - BREAKthrough (xy8)
Raikou is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featured in the XY series' BREAKthrough set, released on November 4, 2015. It has a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy and resists Metal-type attacks by 20. The card’s ability, Shining Body, reduces damage taken by 20 if it has Lightning Energy attached, enhancing its defensive capabilities. Its primary attack, Thunder Lance, requires three Colorless Energy to deal 50+ damage, with an additional 20 points per attached Lightning Energy. Raikou’s weakness to Fighting-type attacks is multiplied by two, making it vulnerable to certain strategies. The card’s flavor text describes it as a wild Pokémon that stores energy within its body to unleash powerful electric bursts. Artist Shin Nagasawa’s design captures the essence of a creature harnessing electrical power for offense and movement. This Rare Holo card offers a balance of offensive potential and defensive resilience through its mechanics.
