# Raikou #22/64 — Neo Revelation

## Summary

Raikou is one of the three Johto roaming beasts, and the Gen II legendaries still carry strong sentimental weight with players who grew up on Gold and Silver. Naoyo Kimura is a respected WOTC-era illustrator, and as a plain Rare in Neo Revelation this Raikou sits mid-tier, collectible without being a chase slot. At a $17 modelled guide, up 2% over 30 days on 23 copies traded, with only 15 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.15 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
