The Raikou card from the Skyridge set captures the electric Pokémon in a moment of dynamic energy, its fur bristling with static as it prepares to unleash a powerful attack. Surrounded by a backdrop of jagged rocks and flashes of lightning, Raikou embodies both grace and intensity, standing poised in its natural habitat. The illustration by Mitsuhiro Arita conveys a sense of urgency and strength, inviting the viewer to feel the charged atmosphere. This snapshot of Raikou reflects its role as a guardian of the storm
You may flip a coin. If heads, discard all Lightning Energy cards attached to Raikou. This attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage for each Energy card discarded in this way.
