It’s cards like this that make me wish the CG used (non pokedex based) flavor text more often: If you removed the reminder text, you could actually put up a quote about Raikou .Volt Bolt (questionable name) is an absolutely awe-inspiring attack. This allows it to deal an almost surely fatal blow to a great many pokemon who would otherwise be sitting on the bench , providing effects that turn the match against your favor. It’s as if he’s an angry god striking down a distant blasphemer for challenging him.
