Where it came from
Rocket's Raikou ex was released in 2005 as part of the EX Deoxys expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This card represents a significant departure from standard Raikou depictions, featuring the Pokémon under the ownership of Team Rocket. It was designed to showcase the darker, more aggressive aesthetic that characterized the EX series era, blending the powerful 'ex' mechanics of the time with the thematic influence of Team Rocket's villainous organization.
The card is widely recognized for its striking artwork by illustrator Ryo Ueda, who utilized a bold, high-contrast style to highlight the shift to the Darkness type. As a secret rare—numbered 108/107—it served as a chase card for collectors during the mid-2000s. Its reception within the community has remained consistently strong, often cited as a standout example of the creative freedom afforded to designers during the late Wizard of the Coast and early Nintendo transition periods of the game.
