Where it came from
The Raikou card, numbered SM150, was released as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set. These promotional cards were typically distributed through organized play events, retail blisters, or specific themed collection boxes to support the broader Sun & Moon trading card game cycle. The release strategy was designed to provide players and collectors with alternate-art or unique versions of legendary Pokémon to maintain engagement between major expansion launches.
This particular card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, whose work is well-regarded for dynamic character poses and vibrant lighting effects. For this Raikou, Saitou utilized a sharp, energetic style that emphasizes the Pokémon's role as a legendary beast associated with lightning. Upon release, the card was received as a standard but aesthetically pleasing addition to the promo set, often highlighted by collectors for its clean, modern layout and the distinct holographic finish characteristic of the Sun & Moon era.
