Heya Heya Heya,welcome to the Pokemon reviews,Now before we get this started funny story,i was originally going to review Leafeon,but then i heard some thunder outside and..well i think we all know how i came to the conclusion to review this Pokemon,anyway lets get this over with because as we all know,i HATE reviewing legendary Pokemon...


Moveset
................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

At the Start this Agent of Awesomeness gets two moves, Bite and leer,Bite is okay but for leer...eh

Thunder shock,8: This move has a base attack damage of 40 and has 100% accuracy,and also this move has a 10% chance of paralyzing the opponent,good move for now use it and spam it,Be aware that bite is stronger thunder shock by 20%

Roar,15:This move forces the target to switch out there Pokemon,or in a battle with a wild Pokemon it will force them to run away,...eh...

Quick Attack,22; This move has a base attack damage of 40 and has 100% accuracy,also this move will almost always hit first,good move,keep it in your back pocket because it may come in handy later.

Spark,29: This move has a base attack damage of 65 and has 100% accuracy,also this move has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target,great move for now,take it use it love it

Reflect,36: This move Doubles ALL the users Pokemon defense by 2 stages for 5 turns,this is a good move,take it if you want but i really did not have much of a use for it, to be fair this is a good move its just that this Pokemon is to good for it.

Crunch,43: Ah Crunch one of my favorites,this move has a base attack damage of 80 and has 100% accuracy also this move has a 20% chance of lowering the targets accuracy, GREAT MOVE i highly recommend you take it

Thunder Fang,50: This move has a base attack damage of 65 and has 95% accuracy,also this move has a 10% chance of paralyzing the opponents Pokemon,pretty decent move but really..whats the Point of taking it,think about it,Spark is better in every single way,so i would not take it but hey do what you want

Discharge,57: FINALLY we have Sparks replacement,This move has a base attack damage of 80 and has 100% accuracy,also this move hits all targets in double or triple battles,and to take this even further this move has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target,great move take it done

Extrasensory,64: This move has a base attack damage of 80 and has 100% accuracy,also this move has a 10% chance of making the target flinch,pretty good move,i did not have much of a use for it,but still take it if you want

Rain dance,71: Rain dance...?

Ryuk: I thought this thing was a Electric type

Relinquish: It must be because thunder and lighting is Associated with rain so...alright i guess we can make this pass

This move Makes rain fall for 5 turns and increases water type moves for 50%,i could tell you all the other types it effects but...screw it i am lazy,all in all take it if you want but i did not have much of a use for it

Calm Mind,78: Now we have the move that the competitive move Freaking LOVES,this move raises the users special attack stat by 2 stages,great move,once again i did not find much of a use for it but i know its a good move so take it..just know i don't like it

Thunder,85: Finally to end this set we have Thunder,how cliche,This move has a base attack damage of 120 and has 100% accuracy,also this move has a 10% chance of paralyzing the opponent,odd i expected it to be 30% if i have to sacrifice my accuracy just for a bit more damage,anyway you guys may know i dislike choosing power of accuracy so...take it if you want but i don't like it


Stats
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Hp,95: Now this is a good stat,This stat will help you out Alot in the game and i will admit i did have alot of fun once i saw my awesome health stat when i was testing this Pokemon

Attack,85: This is a fairly low stat...actually its not its pretty good its just the fact that this Pokemon is a legendary and are expectations have been raised,anyway this is a fairly low stat but still you have to admit that there are not even alot of physical attacks in this things moveset

Defense,75: Alright this is once again a fairly low stat but do not worry because a certain stat in this things set will make up for this move...

Sp.atk,115: Now this is where Raikou shines,this stat is so good that when i was using Thunder shock i could 1 hit most enemies until i got to level 22,and still you will be able to down Most Pokemon in 2 or 3 hits

Sp.Def,100: Alright this stat will protect you from a Variety of types so...not much to say here except this is good

Speed,115: This is why Raikou's defense stat DOES NOT MATTER,this is possibly Raikou's most effective stat and i freaking love it,i could outrun roughly 87% of the a.i Pokemon, i could even out run some of the Elite 4's strongest Pokemon,so once again this is a great stat

This Pokemon only has 1 WEAKNESS....1,THAT IS GREAT I FREAKING LOVE IT,i barely ran into any trouble and i am sure you won't either,oh yeah that weakness is ground,and even if you do run into anything the chances are your going to have something to combat that Pokemon

This Pokemon like most legendary Pokemon take an ETERNITY TO LEVEL,so i hope you have some extreme dedication


Tms and Hms
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Thunder Bolt
Volt Switch or dig
Crunch
You Pick

Thunder Bolt:This move is here to be your main attack move,its not used for any specific reason its just used to cut Pokemon down

Volt Switch & or Dig: This move is here to be your escape pod,now these moves are pretty different but there used for the same purpose,still there is a difference, if you want to switch out Raikou and still want to do Damage just go with Volt Switch,if you want to do damage but avoid an attack but not switch out go with Dig

Crunch: Honestly i have no idea why i kept this move here,i just had some use for it but screw it you can replace this move with something else if you want


Gyms Rivals and the Elite 4
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Gyms: This guy is great in gyms and i highly recommend you take it in gyms

Rival : Its even better against your rival most of the time you rivals Pokemon is weaker than the gyms so...pfft just apply everything i have said to gyms and put it here

Trainer...ha ha...ha ha..HA HA-

Elite 4: Should you take this thing to the Elite 4...Yes go ahead and take it,it will be a great member of your party,and trust me if it goes down some of the targets Pokemon is going down with it


Tips
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

1.Don't think your going to be able to get exp points easy with this Pokemon because event though its a legendary and its going to win most fights,its still going to take for ever to level up,so just be prepared for that
2.Despite this guys legendary status do not think its immortal
3.there is not much of a reason to EV train this Pokemon because it is fast enough to outrun most targets,and strong enough to down most targets
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Final Thoughts:...Great,just great,this is the best electric type Pokemon that i have ever reviewed,and really there was not much of a doubt,this Pokemon has a great moveset,Very good stats,awesome tms and hms,and its very effective against the a.i and the elite 4 ,i am sorry but i don't really have much to say here,really This is just a great Pokemon with very few problems such as its defense stat,but still the speed makes up for it,also its Tms are kind of lacking,still that does not make this Pokemon any less effective,so if you can get your hands on this Pokemon go ahead and get it,Because it will make a great electric type Pokemon for your team,Also i will give it the Agent of Awesomeness badge for only having 1 weakness

Final rating:4.6/5

Raikou has earned the Agent of Awesomeness badge

Fun fact:The testing for this Pokemon took me exactly 2 hours and 42 minutes to complete

If you liked this review give it a like leave a comment and tune in for the next review. also tune in on the 25th for a Suprise

Ryuk: Whats the suprise?

Relinquish:...Its called a suprise for a reason..

Frieza: Come on Please

Relinquish: No you guys,i will admit though your persistence is admirable...futile but admirable




Oh yeah i don't really like Raikou so...random picture that i found

RAIKOU   
I bet you already know I am a fan of Raikou...lol.

Thanks for doing this review.

Raikou used to be a great a sweeper, and is still great. Just not nowadays. Good offensive stats are always nice to have in your back pocket.

Move pool is...okay...but can definitely use some improvement.

Two moves that are very solid on Raikou are:

-Calm Mind
-Thunderbolt

Calm Mind is pretty much obvious, especially paired with Thunderbolt. (I use this combo A LOT with Gardevoir in R/S/E). Usually takes one, and there is a OHKO (most of the time).

The wonderful Speed is just wonderful. Wonderful.

Thunder is an okay move, especially since it is a STAB attack, and supports Raikou's very good Sp. Att. stat. It's just the overall accuracy that concerns me about the move...you really want to aim for a quick sweep, taking a few moves to use Calm Mind here and there. Thunderbolt is sufficient enough.

The other two move slots are your choice...if you want to use Raikou in competitive battling, keep in mind of your moves. If you are just playing with him in game, Calm Mind and Thunderbolt are sufficient, and you can use the extra two slots for whatever you want.

Substitut would be a nice move for Raikou to have, so he can use Calm Mind and not take too much excess damage for it. Raikou's speed will help you attack first most of the time, and there you have an easy kill.

I hear Rain Dance is a good move to pair up with Thunder...meh, I don;t use that pair anyways.

Nice job bro

Well I personally do not like using this Pokemon. Sure it is fast and powerful but I always preferred Suicune instead. This Pokemon is really a decent Pokemon overall and leveling may be tough but starting out with Bite makes it easier than other moves. This Pokemon is very far from immortal and can't take too many hits which makes it a sweeper that you pretty much use just so that you can get a Pokemon who is sweeping your whole team out of the way and to use a max revive since again it really can't take many hits well at all. Overall I do not think it deserved that high of a rating but since it does have great speed for it's main uses it is a good Pokemon. :p

relinquish022 : Today I look at the description and think to myself. This came from a 28 year old.

Also, raikou has rain dance because when it rains thunder will always hit.

Raikou will always be my favorite legendary. Electricity and psychic powers have always attracted me the most. Also, am I the only one who notices that you keep on summoning 

Rival : This guy?

Regardless, this was a pretty good review.
