In the Pokémon TCG Sword & Shield – Brilliant Stars expansion (2022), Raikou V (048/172) is a Basic Electric-type Legendary Pokémon card that brings a nostalgic Gen II feel. Planeta Mochizuki’s full-art holo illustration depicts Raikou amidst storm clouds with crackling lightning, with a vibrant foil finish highlighting its dynamic pose. In-game, Raikou V has 200 HP, the “Fleet-Footed” ability for extra card draw, and the “Lightning Rondo” attack that deals more damage for each benched Pokémon, showcasing solid playability. As an Ultra Rare holographic trading card, it appeals to collectors for its striking artwork and Generation-II classic status, making it both a competitive deck addition and a display-worthy collectible.
