Pokémon Go Raikou counters, weaknesses and moveset explained

Raikou, one of the legendary beasts, can be fought in raids in Pokémon Go.

Before fighting Raikou, you should make sure you have a good understanding of his weaknesses and counterattacks. This will help you add it to your Pokémon collection along with Entei and Suicune.

Raikou, like all Legendary Pokémon, appears in five-star raids, so you’ll have to team up with other trainers to make sure you defeat it. However, don’t forget to use a Remote Raid Pass if you feel like staying home.

Everything we know about Raikou

Raikou, along with Entei and Suicune, is a member of the legendary beasts.

This legendary trio can be found in the Johto region and their trio master is Ho-Oh. They are also intended to be the counterparts of the legendary birds, representing the same types (fire, electric, and water) while being inspired by animals, rather than birds.

Entei and Suicune are the other members of the legendary beasts.

Raikou seems to have been inspired by the saber-toothed tiger and the very concept of thunderstorms.

Interestingly, Raikou is the only member of the legendary beasts who does not have his own movie dedicated to Pokémon. Instead, he appeared in three episodes of Pokémon Chronicles and, along with his trio members, in the Pokémon movie, Zoroak: Master of Illusions.

Good luck catching Raikou in Pokémon Go!
