What it does
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.)
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.)
A Pokémon that races across the land while barking a cry that sounds like crashing thunder.

Where it came from
Released in the year 2001 as part of the Neo Revelation expansion, this card captures the legendary Electric-type Pokémon Raikou. This set served as the third installment in the Neo Series, which introduced players to the Johto region and the second generation of Pokémon. The design aesthetic of this era transitioned away from the more simplistic base set styles, leaning into the distinct artistic influence of the Wizards of the Coast production period.
The illustration for this card was crafted by Hironobu Yoshida, an artist whose work frequently defined the dramatic, sweeping poses characteristic of Neo-era cards. Yoshida utilized a vibrant color palette to emphasize Raikou's connection to lightning and thunder, aiming to evoke the legendary status of the beast. Upon release, the set was well-received by collectors for its introduction of Shining Pokémon and the expansion of the lore surrounding the legendary beasts of Ecruteak City.
