Collector Insights

Raikou is a Pokémon TCG card featuring a Lightning-type attack named Lightning Spark. The attack requires three Lightning Energy crystals to power it, dealing 30 damage to the defending player. When used, it prompts the opponent to reveal any Benched Pokémon if they have any, flipping a coin to determine if an additional 20 damage is inflicted to one of them. This effect bypasses Weakness and Resistance for the targeted Benched Pokémon. The card has 60 HP, reflecting its base durability in battles. It was first released in the Neo Premium File 3 set on November 23, 2000. The card is illustrated by artist Naoyo Kimura, contributing to its visual identity. As a Pokémon with the supertype Pokémon, it aligns with standard card classification within the series.
