| The Legend: Raikou is said to have been one of the three beasts who parished in a blaze in Ecruteak City's presently named Burned Tower. Legend has it when the flames subsided, and the three Pokemon - Raikou, Entei, and Suicune - did not emerge, a bird with a rainbow emitting from it's tail* flew over the wreckage, and the three Pokemon were resurrected. Since then, it is said the three Pokemon race around the Johto countryside. * The "bird with a rainbow emitting from it's tail" may have been the Legendary Ho-Oh. The Pokemon: Raikou is possibly one of, if not, the most powerful Electric-type in the game. It's ability to learn a great variety of Electric attacks make it a formidable foe for even experienced trainers. Raikou can also learn TM 18; Rain Dance, which garuntee's that it's Thunder attack will never miss. Back to Main |
