Description
The Dark Explorers Raikou-EX #105 is a 2012 Pokémon Trading Card Game release that captures the electric power of the Legendary Beast. As a Basic Pokémon with 170 Hit Points, this Lightning-type card offers significant durability for trainers building decks around its unique offensive capabilities. The card features a striking Holo finish, marking it as an Ultra Rare addition to the Dark Explorers set. Raikou-EX brings distinct strategic options to the battlefield. Its first attack, Thunder Fang, costs a single Lightning Energy and a Colorless Energy, requiring a coin flip to potentially Paralyze the Defending Pokémon. The second attack, Volt Bolt, demands a more substantial investment: discarding all Lightning Energy attached to Raikou-EX. In exchange, it deals 100 damage to one of the opponent's Pokémon, bypassing standard Weakness and Resistance calculations. This high-risk, high-reward dynamic makes it a memorable piece for gameplay enthusiasts. Designed by 5ban Graphics, the card is assigned Pokédex number 243 and carries a modest Retreat Cost of 1. Collectors often seek out Raikou-EX #105 for its iconic status within the Pokémon universe and its representation of the Generation III Legendary beasts. Whether you are completing a set of Dark Explorers cards or hunting for specific Lightning-type Pokémon, this release stands out in the Pokémon TCG catalog.
