Where it came from
The Raikou-GX card, numbered SM121, was released in 2018 as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series. It was specifically distributed through the Raikou-GX Box, a retail package that included the oversized foil version of the card alongside several booster packs. This release aligned with the broader Sun & Moon era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which introduced the GX mechanic, a powerful gameplay feature allowing players to use one potent GX attack per game.
The illustration for this card was provided by artist PLANETA Igarashi, who has contributed extensively to the Pokémon TCG. The artwork captures Raikou in a dynamic, high-energy stance, characteristic of the team's aesthetic which often utilizes 3D-rendered, metallic-textured graphics to emphasize the power of the Legendary Pokémon. As a promotional card, it served as a functional piece of competitive hardware during its era, recognized for its 'Thunder and Lightning' ability which provided a unique tactical advantage in the standard rotation of the time.
