Tips for Raikou in Pokémon Go

• In Pokémon Go, Raikou has a combat strength of 42, 932 WP. It only has the "Elektro" type and only attacks with this type of attack.
• Therefore, it has no double weaknesses, but ground Pokémon do 1.4 times the damage.
• Pokémon like Rizeros, Donphan, Geowaz, Sandamer and Knogga are effective opponents against Raikou. You should use the "earthquake" attack as often as possible.
• Do not compete in a raid against Raikou, but only together with several coaches, because you can only beat it in this way despite having a suitable team Pokémon.
• Raikou appears in so-called exclusive raids, also EX raids. To be admitted to such a raid, all you have to do is defeat another raid boss in the same arena while the EX raid is still running.
• Then you have the chance to compete against Raikou. Once defeated, you can catch it with Poké Balls.
• However, it only has a catch rate of two percent, so you should bring a large supply of balls and, preferably, golden raspberries to lower the catch rate.
