Collector Insights

Raikou ☆ is a Pokémon card from the Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean set, released on April 8, 2005. Designed by artist Masakazu Fukuda, it features a Rare Holo ☆ rarity and is numbered 39 in the set. The card has 80 HP and belongs to the Pokémon supertype. Its primary attack, Lightning Turn, costs one Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and allows switching Raikou ☆ with a Benched Pokémon. The secondary attack, Meta Voltage, requires three Lightning energy to deal 70 damage, with an additional effect that inflicts 40 damage to each of the player’s Pokémon if they have fewer Prize cards remaining than their opponent. This attack also bypasses Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. The card’s design emphasizes its electrical typing through its attacks and artwork. Its strategic versatility lies in its ability to manipulate the battlefield by relocating Pokémon and applying conditional damage effects. The combination of these abilities makes it a unique play in competitive play.
