Raikou Pokédex Information
Raikou is an Electric type Pokémon that first appeared in the games Pokémon Gold and Silver which were released in Japan in November 1999. Together with Suicune and Entei it makes up the three legendary beasts said to be resurrected by Ho-Oh.
Raikou is a four-legged character that bears resemblance to a dog and a tiger. Its fur is predominantly yellow with black markings while its underbelly is white. It has a long purple mane that extends along its back while its tail resembles a blue bolt of lightning. Raikou embodies the speed of lightning. The roars of this Pokémon send shock waves shuddering through the air and shake the ground as if lightning bolts had come crashing down.
