Print Variants, Tells and Card Back

Raikou 1st Edition — 1st Edition
Look for the black Edition 1 stamp at the lower-left of the artwork/text area. Neo Revelation 1st Edition and Unlimited share the same artwork and copyright line ((c)1995-2000 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK.); the stamp is the key tell.

Raikou Unlimited — Unlimited
No Edition 1 stamp. The Unlimited printing uses the same artwork and copyright line as 1st Edition, but without the first-print stamp.

Raikou Double Holo error — Double Holo error
A recognized Neo Revelation error: the holofoil pattern bleeds outside the normal foil window, so foil appears inside the artwork. It turns up on the 16 holofoil cards. Nobody has published how many exist, and it is an error rather than a separate print run.

Raikou card back — Card back
Standard English Pokemon TCG card back, shared across Neo Revelation cards.

Attacks and Text

Pokémon Power: Lightning Burst

Whenever you attach a Lightning Energy card from your hand to Raikou, if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, he or she chooses 1 of them and switches it with the Defending Pokémon. This power stops working while Raikou is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

50Lightning Tackle [Lightning Lightning Lightning]

Flip a coin. If tails, Raikou does 20 damage to itself.

The rain clouds it carries let it fire thunderbolts at will. They say that it descended with lightning.

Set Note

Raikou appears twice in Neo Revelation: this is the holo rare #13/64, paired with the non-holo rare #22/64.
