Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the 2005 expansion EX Unseen Forces, the Raikou Star card serves as a notable entry in the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Gold Star series. These cards were introduced as ultra-rare chase cards, distinguished by their alternate-colored shiny illustrations and the distinct gold star symbol printed next to the Pokémon's name. The set itself was designed to celebrate the Johto region's legendary Pokémon, drawing heavily from the themes of the second-generation video games.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by Masakazu Fukuda, who utilized a unique style that emphasized the creature's electric typing through dynamic lighting and composition. The Gold Star cards were designed to be significantly harder to pull from booster packs than standard holographic cards, creating a legacy of high collectability. Upon release, they were well-received by players and collectors alike for their artistic departure from standard card templates and their representation of shiny Pokémon, which had previously been difficult to showcase within the game's static frame.
