About this card
Raikou HGSS19 is card HGSS19 in HGSS Black Star Promos (25 numbered cards). It's one of 25 Promo cards in the set — 100% of 25. There are 15 English cards named “Raikou”. This is the 7th; the first was in Neo Revelation (2001). It has 80 HP. Noriko Hotta illustrated 2 cards in HGSS Black Star Promos and 21 English cards in total.
It isn't legal in the 2026–27 Standard format, so demand comes mainly from collectors.
Is Raikou HGSS19 worth anything?
We don't have a live market price for this card at the moment. The price you'll get in the UK depends mostly on condition: check the corners, edges and surface, and whether the artwork is well centred. Damaged cards sell for much less, while professionally graded copies in top condition can sell for far more.
To be sure you have the right card, match the set symbol and the number HGSS19 printed at the bottom of your card. There are 27 different Raikou cards, so the number matters. Then compare completed eBay UK listings — sold prices, not asking prices — for copies in similar condition.
