Character Background

Raikou in Neo Revelation plays like a lightning-fast tempo threat that pressures the opponent’s board while threatening respectable direct damage. Its Lightning Burst power is especially disruptive: every manual Lightning attachment from hand can force your opponent to promote a Benched Pokémon, letting you pick off weak targets, break up their setup, or drag out something awkward before it’s ready. Because the opponent chooses the switch, this works best when you’ve already softened their bench with spread damage or when they have only one tempting target left. Deckbuilding-wise, Raikou pairs well with Energy acceleration and cards that let you keep attaching every turn, since repeated activations make the power shine. Lightning Tackle’s 50 damage gives you a clean midgame finisher, though the self-damage on tails means healing or damage reduction can help if you plan to attack repeatedly. Protect Raikou from Special Conditions so its pressure stays online.
