Raikou 22/64 · Neo Revelation

Raikou, Neo Revelation #22

Neo Revelation is a set in the Neo series. It was released on September 21, 2001. The printed size is 64. This checklist is longer, at 66 cards. Raikou is 22/64, in position 22 of 66 on this checklist. Before it is 21 Raichu, and after it is 23 Skarmory. The listed rarity is Rare.

Raikou is a Basic Lightning Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 26. In the Pokédex this is Raikou (#243), generation 2 (Johto).

Naoyo Kimura illustrated this card. The same name is on 256 other cards in the catalog.

Raikou (#243) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Raikou 13/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. 26 other cards of Raikou list a different HP.

Legendary Body is listed as Pokémon Power. As long as Raikou is your Active Pokémon, Raikou and Energy cards attached to it aren't affected by effects from Trainer cards other than Stadium cards. As long as this Power is active, discard any Trainer cards attached to Raikou. (This power works even if Raikou is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.) The attack Lightning Spark lists 30 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Lightning. If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of them and this attack does 20 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. The flavor text reads "A Pokémon that races across the land while barking a cry that sounds like crashing thunder."

I keep a set binder for Neo Revelation, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Revelation set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Raikou can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
