#94 Rocket's Raikou - Pokémon VS (pok-mon-vs)
Rocket's Raikou is a Pokémon TCG card from the Pokémon VS set, released on August 19, 2001. It is a Rare Holo card with a holographic finish, designed by artist Hironobu Yoshida. The card features a Pokémon with 60 HP, representing a Electric-type creature. Its sole attack, Rising Thunder, requires one Lightning and two Colorless Energy to use, dealing 30 damage. The attack involves flipping a coin, with heads causing 20 damage to an opponent's Benched Pokémon and tails causing 20 damage to the player's own Benched Pokémon. The effect bypasses Weakness and Resistance for all affected Benched Pokémon. The card's design and mechanics align with its role in competitive play, emphasizing strategic interaction through its dual-target damage potential. Its inclusion in the Pokémon VS set highlights its significance in early TCG gameplay strategies.
