Provenance

Where it came from

The Raikou V card (048/172) was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Brilliant Stars expansion, which debuted in early 2022. This set served as the introduction of the Trainer Gallery subset, a highly anticipated feature that highlighted classic and modern Pokémon alongside their associated trainers. The V mechanic, which emphasized high-powered versions of legendary and base-form Pokémon, was designed to anchor the competitive landscape of the Sword & Shield series.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Teeziro, who has been a consistent contributor to the Pokémon TCG. The design leans into the electric nature of Raikou, utilizing dynamic lighting effects and a sleek, modern border aesthetic consistent with the Ultra Rare V card classification. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its 'Fleet-Footed' ability, which provided valuable draw utility, and by collectors for its sharp, high-contrast visual style.
