Whenever you attach a 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.
The rain clouds it carries let it fire thunderbolts at will. They say that it descended with lightning.
雨雲をせおっているので、どんなときでも雷を出せる。雷と共に落ちてきたという。
Trivia
This card's illustration portrays the same scene as Entei and Suicune, but with a focus on Raikou. It is from the artwork used for the Japanese Awakening Legends booster pack.
