What Is On This Card?

Poké-Body

Pure Body

To attach a Lightning Energy card from your hand to Raikou, you must discard an Energy card attached to Raikou. (Attach the Lightning Energy, and then discard an Energy card from Raikou.)

Attack · 40+ damage

Lightning Sphere

Lightning + Colorless + Colorless energy. You may flip a coin. If heads, discard all Lightning Energy cards attached to Raikou. This attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage for each Energy card discarded in this way.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Skyridge set name, and 28 / 144 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.

Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.

Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
