Where it came from
The Raikou card (048/132) originates from the BW7 Plasma Storm expansion, released in Japan as part of the Plasma Gale set in 2012. This era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game focused on the Team Plasma narrative, which introduced special holographic patterns and blue-themed card borders to distinguish cards affiliated with the antagonist organization. The set was designed to reflect the mechanical and synthetic aesthetic of the Team Plasma aesthetic within the Unova region.
The design of this Raikou card utilizes the high-contrast, sharp-edged artistic style prevalent in the Black & White series, emphasizing the legendary Pokémon's electric nature through stylized energy bolts. Like other cards in this set, it was created by artists commissioned by The Pokémon Company to integrate the lore of Team Plasma's experiments with the established visual identity of the series, receiving praise from players for its competitive utility in the 'Eel' decks of the time.
