Where it came from
The Raikou card numbered 79/214 is a core component of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Lost Thunder, which debuted in late 2018. This set was designed to bridge the mechanics of the Sun & Moon series, drawing inspiration from the Johto region's legendary Pokémon and featuring a broad variety of creatures from the second generation. It was produced by The Pokémon Company International as part of their strategy to rotate the competitive meta and introduce powerful new support cards to the existing ecosystem.
The artwork for this specific Raikou card was rendered by the illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is widely recognized for his long-standing contributions to the franchise. Saitou’s design captures Raikou in a dynamic, high-energy stance consistent with its electric typing and legendary status. Upon its release, the card was received by collectors and players as a staple rare card, valued for its distinctive aesthetic within the Sun & Moon era's established artistic direction, which emphasized bold, clean lines and vibrant elemental effects.
